According to my manual, the engine block number you show is not listed. Please doublecheck the number and re-post.

Found this in the Honda Bible at my buddies shop

RC01E- 750K & Nighthawk

The second part of your serial number is kind of a mystery,though. '79 engines started with number 3000001 and went up from there. '80 engines started with number 21001 and went up from there. So, I don't have a clue of the year,but it's definitely a 750. No telling if it was originally in a K or a Nighthawk though,since they share the same engine.

And just incase anyone is looking..
RC04E- 750F
SC11E- 1100F <- lemme know if ya run across one of these ;)
SC04E- 900C
SC01E- 900F

Finally found the book in my moving boxes the book says the engine serial is RC01E-3101450 so i guess a 79K only the blocks got a different serial, the block is like new could it be a replacement ?

And thanks for your help all :)
