10x 1.6 o-rings in the top end rebuild
« on: July 06, 2014, 01:00:02 PM »
I'm in the process of finishing the top rebuild when I looked at the gasket and o-ring kit.  There were 8 green o-rings 10 x 1.6.  I'm like - "ugh, where do these go?"  I looked up online and found where they go.  Apparently they are the o-rings that go on the valve guides when they are placed.  The o-ring is number 14 in this schematic  http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb550f2-super-sport-550-four-1977-usa_model468/partslist/E++02.html#results  .  The question is, has anyone replaced these and is it really necessary. 

Thanks
