Topic: What's your favorite gasket set for CB550?

[Frostyboy]

Not right now, but sometime I'll be dismantling things for a pretty up. I've seen a lot of guys here talking about Versah gasket sets. I've also seen N E Brand, I'm just curious if there's one better than another, not necessarily just those two.
I've also seen MLS (Multi-layer Steel) head gaskets advertised for around $70.

That's just the head gasket, anyone used one?
Have a look at the oil passage openings. Do the raised circles there eliminate the oring do you think?

Man, can you imagine scraping steel off your aluminum surfaces the next time you change it?

Seriously though, my Vesrah kit had everything I needed for a top-end, and I hear it just needs a few additional o-rings for a full rebuild. Despite cinching the top down three separate times, it hasn't leaked a drop.

ive used vesrah and ne ones frosty,i think the ne ones are good,,the steel type dusty just comes off easy,it wont rip to shreds.

The one that fits

I use Honda original or Vesrah.

Really? Well then, I think I'll need to start saving for the next time I undertake this crazy journey!

From past experience I'll stick with OEM when I can.

Nothing worse that having redo something you just did because of gasket or seal failure.
