just recently bought a v65 I heard that they had trouble with valve oiling. It is running fine wondering if there is anything to watch out for to keep it from having any valve issues

What year?
I have a '82 v45 Sabre. Same rumored troubles. The consensus is that you will not have to worry about it. If it does occur, then you fix it (when you fix the front cam shaft.) You will spend as much time trying to prevent the problem (should it actually occur) as you will to fix the symptoms 30,000 miles down the line.
The v65 is a sweet engine. Enjoy!

Another point I have read is that the engine will still run well with the pitted cams.

The 750 cc "V45" engine produced 80 hp. The 1100 cc "V65" engine, which was introduced in 1983, produced 116 hp. Both were slightly detuned throughout the run of the 1st gen engine to cope with customs and EPA regulations. However, Honda reported the same Horsepower figures throughout the whole generation even through the actual dyno-proven, detuned, figures showed up lower than advertised. The engine's downfall was premature camshaft wear in some early models; both V45 and V65. In retrospect, the wear was caused either by production problems, sub-quality steel alloys, or by inadequate oiling flow. Owners have often modified their oiling systems and successfully eliminated the wear problem, and some companies sell kits to do this modification. _______________________________________________________ Floral Boutique cheapest loans trabajo vilafranca iPhone ringtones
