Has anyone used the NE brand gasket sets from David Silvers for a CB750 rebuild? They are a low price compared to Vesrah etc. What would you recommend? David Silvers recommends using a Honda head gasket in place of the kit one.
Is the cylinder head on a CB750K7 unpainted (mine is) or was it originally painted.
Thanks Rob

I have just put my engine together using one, but i used a genuine honda F2 head gasket inplace of the kit one, i will say the gaskets are paper thin. and will break real easy especially the rocker cover gasket,
i am not sure how they compare to other brandes as this is my first 750 engine build, but the gaskets that came out of my engine when i stripped it were much better quality

Thanks Pete. This is my first 750 rebuild as well. I have done a few rebuilds, Norton, BSA, Velocette and Honda but this is my first go at a four cylinder so I want to get it right and not to have to get the engine out of the frame again!!

When I was replacing gaskets using genuine Honda parts, which wern't that expensive at the time, I always bought a Honda top-end gasket set. I still have a number of Genuine Honda gaskets for a SOHC 750. These I have advertised in the 'For Sale' section. Unfortunately Peter had 750F2 head gasket for
