Some interesting data: the piston, as usual for Honda with two compression and one oil scraper rings, weighs 34 g without the pin and rings. The pin, with a diameter of 11 mm weighs 11 g. An inlet valve has a head diameter of 14.5 mm and a stem diameter of 3.8 mm and is 74.4 mm long. Weight: 9 g. Two valve collets and the retainer weigh 1 resp. 3 g. Nobby Clarke said they used tweezers to put the Honda valve gear together.
