After owning my Phil Read Replica for 16 years, I am going to reluctantly put it up for sale.
Every part of this bike has been stripped and rebuilt, frame and swinging arm powder coated, new drive chain and sprockets (530 x ring conversion) brand new Hagon shocks, New boyer branson ignition and coils. On the engine alone over £5500 in parts and workshop fees (re bore valve job etc)
The Engine has had the following
Complete strip, soda blast and stove enamel with original satin black,
Every bearing in the engine replaced including big end, and main bearings, new oversize pistons/rings. New valves and bronze guides, valve seats. genuine Honda seals, All gaskets and seal genuine Honda (yes I found genuine Honda head gaskets) New camshaft, and new (hard to come by) cam holders. The Camchain is a new heavy duty one much stronger than stock, plus all rollers and adjusters new. Crankshaft all deep cleaned and checked (work done by SEP engineering)
New heavy duty primary chains (£270.00 just for these) and tensioner that will no doubt last the life of the bike. All clutch plates and springs are new. The engine bolts all replaced with stainless steel, as are the engine mounting bolts. The exhaust down pipes are original, and immaculate been re chromed. The Phil read silencer is in perfect condition (and sounds superb). Oil pump fully overhauled and checked, replacement seals and new oil stopper valve (no more oil draining into the crankcase overnight) The bike does not use any oil, and performs superbly. The work done and parts used for this is virtually endless. The carbs have been ultra-sonic cleaned, and new Carb intake boots used (with stainless clips. I know every nut and bolt of this bike and also know it is a gem, reliable and a valuable classic as only 150 made.
I will be advertising it soon, so if anyone is interested please contact me. I will post some pictures of it on here, you will see it is excellent condition/paint job

Oil level check after ticking over for 3 mins on warm engine which allows oil to be scavenged back to tank

If you have to use aftermarket head gasket use genuine Honda o rings and oil seals. These threads are full of stories about people using aftermarket gaskets and having to do the job again because if leaks. There is a "leak free top end" thread on the American forum well worth reading

Where ever possible use the genuine Honda head gasket and base gasket, plus genuine Honda oil seals. (Some of the after market seals are slightly thinner than original Honda, leaving less squeeze to seal.
When re assembling the head make sure you seal properly the cam holder studs as they will leak oil to the outside world, as will some of the rocker cover bolts that have through holes to outside world..
As for sealant fir crankcases I always use Hondabond and never had any issues.
The above is for CB 750 SOHC, you don't say which model you have but principals will be the same

With the Boyer system on 750 SOHC, full advance is set at 4500 rpm on strobe

Who ever you use make sure you tell them the piston to bore clearance you want otherwise they will make it too big and you will be burning oil
