CB550 Hockey Pucks
« on: September 23, 2025, 06:46:14 AM »
Do the pucks require replacement when replacing head gasket?  They did not come in the Versah head gasket kit.  Not even sure where to purchase them.  Shout out to Hondaman for sending me the larger O-rings.    Thanks,

Do they require silicone or just a friction fit?

I usually install with Black RTV sealant that is heat resistant and remains pliable.
