Hi
I ordered a gasket kit for a CB900 on Saturday and it arrived here to Sydney Tuesday. Fast delivery for sure.
A question about the head gasket for you.
Is the gasket meant to be round where it seals around the top of each cylinder.
The one on the engine I just pulled apart is round, while the one from Crusin image is not circular. |

I think it is right. Just took my 1000c motor apart and the head gasket is just like that. I can post a pic when I get home......
Edit: Also if you look at the parts fiche (I use service honda) the gasket has that kind of shape..... |

Real OEM CB900 gaskets are not round, they are shaped like that. His gaskets are a copy of the real ones. |

The CB-F composite head gaskets come both ways depending on who made them - round and 'ovoid' near the valves. Both work fine. |

My stock 900 had a non-round gasket. |

Anyone is the USA stocking the Cruzin Image piston kit for the CB1100F? I'm going to order a kit and I'd like to give the business to someone in the USA.
The only place I've seen them is on eBay.
