Barrels and pistons swap

[robsgreen]

Hi guys
Just a quick question- Will a set of Barrels and pistons off an 82 cbx1000 fit an early 1979 cbx1000?
There are different part numbers for these.
Any help always appreciated
Best Regards

They will fit. The pistons actually have the same part number. The cylinder block does not, but I am not aware of any significant difference that will prevent installation. Maybe the holes for the studs in certain places have different diameters.

Yes, your center 4 studs will be smaller than the holes in the '82 cylinder, but as discussed before, should not present a problem. As far as I know, everything else will fit up.

Hi
Thanks for your replies. would I need to change those four inner studs or just leave the original ones in?

I would leave them in. If you change, you would, of course, have to drill and tap the case. I would not mess with that.
