CB550f1 Cly Head gasket set and O rings
« on: January 26, 2018, 01:28:14 PM »
Does anyone know if the O rings for the rocker shaft
Oil feed pipes come in the pack, or do I need to order
them separately?
Thanks

Not in my gasket set last year...had to use old ones until they started small drip last week....ordered 4 from dealer ...meanwhile so i could ride while waiting for O rings i pulled the shaft cover each side , with O rings still on i dipped the two dowels into some engine oil  stop leak for a few minutes....fitted both covers, left it overnight and riding next day with no leaks..

Aftermarket o-rings can sometimes be slightly smaller than the OEM ones. If they come in the kit, I would just measure them with a caliper to be sure they're properly sized. Would suck to install them and in a month have a leak.

And yes, in the Vesrah kit I got for my 550 a while ago had them in there.
