NE gasket set, do I need thicker o-rings?

<< < (6/6)

Oddjob:
I kept wondering why his head gasket measured 1.2mm when mine, from an original top end gasket set, measured 1.4mm and I spotted the reason in post number 1. His is a CB650 not a CB500/550.

Different gasket so most likely a different thickness, odd though that it still used the same oring.

SteveW:
I’ll be doing the top end on my 550 over the winter so I’ll put up the measurements from that one as well.

Trigger:
A lot of Honda head gaskets have two different thickness. You have the old asbestos type and the non asbestos which are the thicker type.
Always measure up what you have and work out what o'rings are needed for a good seal  ;)
