78 xs 400
you would have to measure the bore wear, could be just worn rings and a bore hone or at worse case, a rebore and new pistons/rings. its complicated if you don't know what you are doing. I suggest you get a haynes manual and read it, then you'll know what's involed. It's not an engine out job, just top end, new gaskets required (£20for top end). pistons will be he hardest to source I think +.75mm is the only ones you can get now and a specialist to rebore and hone the engine (who will need the pistons for measurement) I woudn't recommend running the bike like that as you'll blow seals in the crankcase, Get a second opinion off someone who can actually see the bike in person, because I can only go off what you tell me on here.

1973 tx500 engine replacement
I think it can be done as the 500 engine is bigger. you will have to make some engine plates and line up the chain to the rear wheel, a lot of work BTW!

XS400 oil filter stuck!
can you not get a hook inside the hole and pull it out? it will wreck the filter so its a bit of a do or die senario. but you'll have to do it sometime. If you can take a picture it will help for more suggestions.

XS 400 hesitating on the pipe
didn't realise you had electronic ignition, I think you need to look at the TCI box first. drop speedshop a PM as he can give better advice on these things! BTW those are plugs and would need to be drilled aout and behind there should be screws.

oldwankeronabike how's that? Paul, get a quote first for say 15 t-shirts with what you want on there (It looks pretty much there now) and put it to the forum. Peeps will commit more if they know how much.
