Cb550f Head Gasket
« on: May 03, 2021, 08:15:45 AM »
I am going to remove cylinder head in order to seal oil seepage. I have heard that the oem gasket is thicker than Honda part, stopping the 0 rings from sealing. So are the oem 0 rings thicker to match, or do I  get the proper gasket?

Its ALL gaskets are thicker and you need thicker O rings
