CB550 - what's the part # for those 6 little caps in the head?
« on: September 24, 2009, 01:27:36 am »
My gasket kit doesn't include those six caps in the head.  You know, the ones about the size of a penny which keep oil from leaking down onto the spark plugs.

I looked on a couple of Honda parts websites and didn't find them.  Anybody have a part #?

thanks, Mike

none of the gasket or seal kits ever include them (though cyclex puts includes them in their cb750 gasket kits), which is baffling to me considering how important they are.

I looked on the parts fiche several times and could not locate that seal.  Okay, on the Cylinder Head fiche it's Ref#16.

Thanks!
