CB750 Gasket sets - any recommendations
Zunspec:
Hello,
I intend to lift the head on my 750F1 engine to re-lap the valves to address a small issue with low compression readings. Is there a favoured brand (apart from Honda OE) for a top end gasket kit. I do not have adequate knowledge to order all the gaskets, O-rings etc. individually.
Cheers Geoff

I've recently bought an Athena set, after reading good reviews, and while I'm not in a position to use it yet, it seems good quality, and includes stuff like the rubber seals that go in the cylinder head, and a load of O rings. I guess only when I can build the motor I'll find what's missing.
Ash says that the NP sets are very good, but the only CB750 set I could find turned out to be incomplete, as the 'borrowers' had been at in while it was in stock.
The ebay listing I bought from shows what you are going to get, unlike most ads that show a set in its packaging.

Thanks MrDavo,
That looks a pretty comprehensive set.
Cheers Geoff

Dont be tempted by the price of the Cruzinimage set. Last one I had for the 750 was rubbish.

Hello Roy,
The CruzinImage products do seem to be bit hit-or-miss. Some of their kit is good, others.....questionable. I like the offering from Cycle-X but their shipping is more than the price of the gasket kit. I'm not in a rush, the top end re-fresh will be a winter project.
Cheers
