Title: Engine Oil seal sets
Post by: eight0 on October 23, 2020, 10:33:33 AM: Has anyone used a set like this?

I know the original Honda seals are always best but DSS only have a couple of the genuine seals in stock.

Have you phoned DSS it see if they have any 550 kits in ?

And yes have used pattern seals kits

Yeah I spoke to them. they were surprised themselves to see that they don't do kits for the 550.

Which seal is missing from the kit?
