Genuine Honda oil seals and this gasket set, which includes all the 'O' rings etc Giannis
Edit. I have just been reminded that the oil bung 'O' rings were not included in the Gasket set.

I used the same for my 500 restoration 2 years ago,no problems so far. Yes the oil pump rings are not in the kit.
The reason i asked you, is that i want to see what is best for my future 400 restoration,probably next year.
The OEM gaskets probably is the best ,but price goes 5 or 6 times more.Don't know about VESRAH or something else.
keep up the good work on the bike!
Nurse Julie:
I couldn't find a VESRAH anywhere for this engine and I wouldn't pay the silly money for an OEM set but once again, couldn't find one anyway. I'm not precious about what make of gaskets I use on my own bikes. As long as they fit and more importantly, as long as I fit them correctly, that's good enough for me.

4into1 is US has the Vesrah set. About the rest you said i agree with you :)
haynes66:
just been re-reading the whole thread again and i was wondering if you re-used the crankshaft shells? i've been watching the peter anderson youtube series and he is replacing pretty much everything including the shells even though they are hardly worn. he clearly has enough cash to do this but is it really necessary? obviously i intend to fit new bushes and seals throughout but if most roller bearings are good they will probably go back in. is this false economy?
