I was checking locally and a think it was just over a 100.00 for the kit at the local performance shop. The dealer wanted 160 just for the 2 head gaskets. I'm starting to get some oil around my cooling fin's.

Dont look specifically for a 78. All the 550 are the same
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

Remember "Its always in the last place you look" COURSE IT IS YOU STOP LOOKIN THEN!

I'm local in Denver. If your over sea's David Silvers might be your best bet. It is a shop for parts and accesories. Performance Cycle in Denver. 303-744-2011
