1982 Honda CB900C Custom · Gaskets & Oil Seals Buying guide
The 1982 valve-clearance procedure opens the head cover; a cylinder-head rebuild goes much further. Trace any leak first, then match gaskets to the joints actually opened and shaft seals to their specific locations. The top-end set is not a complete engine oil-seal kit.

The head-cover gasket is disturbed for valve-clearance service. Honda specifies checking it for damage and applying sealant only at the locations shown in the cover procedure. Removing the cylinder head or block is a larger, engine-out job with head, base and other seals to account for; the top-end set does not promise every engine oil seal.
The shift-shaft seal is listed as 12.5 × 25 × 8mm. Check that exact position and the shaft’s sealing surface before fitting a replacement. A new seal cannot correct a damaged shaft or a distorted cover. Keep cylinder-sleeve O-rings separate from valve-stem seals and account for any pieces already included in a gasket set.
Follow Honda’s head-cover diagram. It identifies particular sealing points rather than a full coating. Inspect the gasket and cover first; extra sealant or excessive tightening is not a repair for damaged rubber or a distorted sealing face.
First trace the oil to its source. If it starts at the shift shaft, inspect that shaft and its individual seal. A head or base gasket set serves different joints and will not repair a shaft-seal leak.
List every joint the planned work will open and compare the itemized contents. The Athena set includes head, base and head-cover gaskets, exhaust gaskets and selected seals. Buy separate parts for uncovered joints or a limited repair, without duplicating included sleeve O-rings.
