CB400 mystery seal
« on: November 08, 2017, 05:36:40 AM »
Good morning folks,
in the process of reinstalling the top end, I'm having trouble finding a place for a barrel shaped seal somewhat similar to the two cylindrical seals that install over the head alignment dowels.
This one is fairly similar in size but made of a much more pliable rubber.
Can't find it on any of the fiches; meant for the oil pump maybe?
Anyone?
If it's worth doing at all it's worth over-doing.

Can't think where this goes. The oil pump just has o-rings over dowels, so it's not that. What make gasket kit was it, and was it top end only or whole engine?

I'm using a complete engine seal set.
I'll look at close-ups of seal sets and see if I can figure this out.
My rotten memory!

I seem to be an idiot folks.
Images of gasket sets online show only two of the barrel shaped seals. :-[
