how does kickstart engage engine...
also note that the engine won't turn over with the clutch disengaged/missing as the kick gear moves the gears through the tranny via the clutch to the main drive pinion at the end of the crank!!

Adjusting the valves on my XS400
you don't really need a torque wrench for the screw although it only 6lbs ft so don't go mad!! do it yourself its really easy if a little fiddly, try and buy the angled gauges as they can be manovered easily.

As i said all sohc's will fit. if the contacts can be upgraded, then i assume the reverse is true

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
