CB350F Complete gasket kit choices? Help.
« on: January 15, 2008, 05:25:24 PM »
I need some advice on gasket kit choices on my 74' 350F rebuild.

I'd like to get a complete gasket kit for the engine but so far the only brand I've seen is Athens.... and I've only seen them sold though Old Bike Barn  :(

I looked up Cometic and they don't list the 350F in their complete sets and Honda doesn't sell a complete kit anymore.

Does anyone know anyone else who sells the Athens kit or another one they would recommend.

Thanks, Matt.

lemme check my 550 kit downstairs but it was a complete kit but had no orings for the bottom half of the motor (oil pump, stater, oil filter, oil pan)

The Athena kit is pretty good, although I would also get Honda oil control orifice seals and head gasket and use them if still available.
Old Bike Barn seems to be the US seller, do you have a problem with them? You can order from a few european stores.

Thanks, I've never dealt with OBB but I had a real good read through the Old Bike Barn thread under vendor reveiws today..... :-\
I guess I'll give them a shot. Snow will be here for a while anyway  :D
