550 engine gaskets

(1/1)

Gordon:
Does anyone have a good source for a set of top end gaskets for the 550?  I've looked everywhere I know of and can only find a complete gasket kit for about $90.  I don't need the whole kit, and I'd rather not spend that much right now. 
Thanks!

SteveD CB500F:
I found that the top-end kit was only slightly cheaper than the full set, which is probably why no-one bothers any more.

Makes sense if you think about the contents for a minute.

Gordon:
You and your "making sense".  I'll have none of that around here!
OK, so how about just the head gasket?  I can get a valve cover gasket, so the only other one I really need is the head.

By the way, I like the flag painted into your avatar.  It kind of looks like you're wearing it as a bib.

SteveD CB500F:
Yea.  Stops the drips while I'm being fed!

Seriously - you should post a "Wanted" ad and see if anyone on here has a spare head gasket.
