is a 77 xs400 engine swappable into a 78?
its got the electronic ignition trigger which is usually a later engine (circa 1980) and the engine off a special/heritage type bike due to the rounded barrels. there is a thread in the sticky to convert to electronic ignition if you want to go that route, otherwise sell the trigger mech and revert to contacts! 4G8 engine #?

xs400 engine disassemble question(s)
oil pan? is it the 6 x 6mm screws under the case holding the oil gauze cover? its a tight bugger and with no heads on will come off. Use a rubber mallet to shift it slightly with luck, the screw shafts will be protruding and you can get to weld a nut on to remove.

Anyone considered using Lubro Moly?
generally due to the high power to cc ratio, motorbike engines have higher spec oils. no need to add anything, the best you can do is change the oil regularly, save your money towards that!

xs400 mikesxs-xs650 carb jets interchangable?
those jets will fit as they are standard mikuni jets. as to the sizes, it all depends what you are trying to do. always best to go richer then down from there.

XS400 Cafe Project - headaches
I'd leave the tank alone and mod the frame, use the old tank mounts and grind off the old frame mounts . weld on the new mounts to the frame after careful measuring

Cleaned the carbs yesterday on 79 xs400
you need to take the float off (it can stick and be a bugger to draw the pin out) the needles valve will just drop out, replace the seat as well, it will come as a kit together. drewps
