Got a Cb650c RC03 engine.
About to rebuild as have an cylinder head oil leak,
Got David silvers gasket kit to do job but found out (luckily) that head I rings are too small in kit to seal it. Bike starts but needs persuasion from easy start. I have pods but bought original air box to fit after build.

Hi Jake welcome to the sohc community,
I know close to nothing  about the CB650 just a bit from having rebuilt a CB400 after 50 odd decades since I owned a 250 Dream circa 1965.

Hi Jake welcome to forum and thanks for boosting the Scottish contingent on here. Common problem on here with after market gaskets being thicker than originals making the o rings inadequate.
