1986 Honda CB700SC · Engine Seals & Gaskets Buying guide
On the 1986 CB700SC, oil at a cover fastener, oil along the cover edge and an exhaust leak at the cylinder head involve different seals. Map the affected joint first. The listed overhaul set has a CB700SC application, but its published description does not itemize the package.

The selected seal replaces reference 90543-MV9-670 and sits at a cam-cover fastener. Eight are used on the listed CB700SC, with one supplied per purchase. A leak following the cover’s outer edge calls for inspection of the separate perimeter gasket and mating surfaces; buying all eight small seals does not replace that gasket.
The headpipe gasket seals the exhaust pipe to the cylinder head, with one supplied per purchase. If all four headpipes are being resealed, four individual gaskets are needed. Compare those needs with confirmed overhaul-kit contents to avoid duplicates. For deeper work involving camshaft removal, include Honda’s hydraulic-tappet bleeding procedure in the repair plan.
The featured cam-cover seal is a fastener mounting seal, not the perimeter gasket. Clean and inspect the area to establish where the oil starts. Replacing a small mounting seal will not address a leak along an unrelated cover edge.
No. They remove routine manual valve-clearance adjustment, but Honda specifies bleeding the tappets whenever the camshafts are removed and filling their defoaming chambers during assembly. Follow the CB700SC cylinder-head procedure when planning a deeper repair.
Remove the old gasket from each exhaust port before installing its replacement. The gasket deforms in service and the current product guidance calls for replacement when that joint is disturbed. The featured item is sold individually, so four are needed when resealing all four headpipes.
