Project Board / Re: Making space for the bikes

I'll fill it up with stuff in no time I'm sure, I'd have lived to have gone bigger but I'm doing it within permitted development rules (I think) and getting this far has cost a small fortune

CB500/550 / Re: top end gasket set recomendations

Maybe get the block skimmed which will make the oring recess slightly shallower, that's what I did following Brian's advice after he rebored my block.  I used Vesrah gaskets from DS

Ages since I wired mine in but from memory they go back to the white and green on the exciter coil. This was on my 550 K0.

All head gaskets are now thicker than Honda original due to no asbestos used in manufacture but the suppliers still give you the original size O rings so they dont seal as well.
If you go to the US site and look up Mark Paris (Hondaman) he can sdvise on size, i dont have all my books to hand

No matter what set you need thicker O rings at the headgasket than those in the set
Does this apply to all gasket sets Bryan or just relating to this particular model? I will be putting the top end back together on my CB550 in the next month or 2 and it would be good know if I’m going to need to source some different O rings.

550 and 500 same shape but later ones had a connector bit, the screwed in retainer does not have a seal, only the big tim pressed plate
