1981 Honda CB750K · Engine Buying guide
Separate routine service parts from components chosen after inspection. A gasket assortment, a shim selection and a piston kit solve different problems, with different contents and ordering quantities.

For a cover reseal, start with the gasket for that joint and inspect the removed parts. For a larger teardown, compare the overhaul set’s actual contents with the shaft seal kit. An overhaul label does not replace an item-by-item parts list.
The piston kit is standard 62mm, while the ring listings also offer oversizes. The shim case contains a defined selection, rather than every available thickness. Have the installed components measured and record the required sizes before turning either choice into a complete engine order.
Honda lists the cylinder head and camshafts among the components serviceable with the engine in the frame. Identify the actual repair before planning engine removal; this does not mean every internal engine job can be done in place.
No. Honda also lists incorrect valve clearance, leaking valves and a leaking head gasket as possible causes. Have the cause established before buying rings or a piston kit; a low reading alone does not identify the failed part.
Record each valve’s cold clearance and measure its existing shim with a micrometer. Honda’s selection chart uses both measurements to choose the replacement. Keep the readings tied to their valve positions so the order reflects the actual engine rather than a guessed assortment.
