Topic: cb750k4 oil pump gasket question..

[lowbrowcustoms]

I pulled my oil pump apart, and there was a thin gasket between each half of the body. I called my local Honda dealer, and they luckily have one in stock. Should the gasket just be oiled when reassembled, or any kind of sealant used?

I usually just clean mating surfaces really well, then lube up gaskets with hi temp grease and re-assemble, and that usually works perfect, no leaks, easy to take apart again in the future.. With this oil pump I won't be able to see it working so I want to make sure it is correct

Thanks

Hi just use the gasket no sealant , cheers Mick.

you are not going to take it off too often, but when you do you should put in a new one each time...saves the possibility of it leaking  - or probably trying to suck oil in or push oil out under pressure.... oil needs to go to the right places.....not possibly pushed out into the sump..

Honda has discontinued availability of that gasket. Time to start saving that one too!
