manifold O-rings
« on: November 23, 2011, 01:46:35 PM »
 Are the intake manifold o-rings included in most engine gasket kits?

 I need some for my CB550 and don't want to order them if they're included in a full gasket kit.

They're the same size o-ring as the valve inspection caps so if there are only eight in the kit, re-use four on the caps.

 Now that's good to know! I wasn't searching for that part #. The tappet cover o-rings I can find easily.
 Need to check my gasket kit and take an inventory of what's what. There are so many o-rings in there that I have NO idea where they go just yet!

 Well, they WERE included in my kit, but they're the smaller, tappet cover size o-rings and they don't fit my '78 CB550K manifolds.

 I need part # 91302-001-020, which is a 30.8mm O-ring.

Both the tappet cover and the intake manifold o-rings are the same #91302-001-020.

 Hmmmm....why do the sizes look so different? I guess my manifold o-rings are REALLY flattened andf compressed.
 Well, at least I don't have to order new ones!
