Also agree with Gord, that each ride you took was a tribute to his efforts. Most fortunate for your acquaintance with Jim and without a partner like that your Threedom would be limited. I do know how well you both worked together. Covid shutdown was bad timing for your situation for sure. Think the Trike is a trophy now!

Cliff,

I have a leak down tester and I have found that a smaller amount of pressure in the 40-50 PSI range works well. I am following more of what a online rebuilder posted for smaller bore fours, which the GL series is not small bore.
I think his reasoning was the higher pressure of the 100 PSI + can start to turn the piston being measured off TDC.

I have never done Wing engine.... as all mine are PERFECT! lolol

That's my hope anyway, as the Wings both run great. :crosso
Current Bikes:
DISPLAY MODELS:
1966 CL77 - Honda 305cc - Dual purpose - "Gentleman's Scrambler" was a period moniker.
1967 CL175K0 - Low production number with #802 engine serial- winter 2019/2020 full restoration.
1972 CB350F - Baby Four with low mileage - Cosmetic refresh to the next level 2021/2022.
RIDERS AND FUN TOYS:
1978 CB550K - Very original bike with only 7499 Km. from new - light cleanup and refresh done.
1983 CB1100F - Canadian model - DOHC Supersport in pristine low kilometre condition from new.
1984 CX650E - Restored summer 2017 - a rare Eurosport model - excellent one owner bike.
