1979 Honda CB650 · Valves & Stem Seals Buying guide
Valve condition, guide condition and stem sealing are related inspection points, but they do not call for the same part. Use the head assessment to decide which pieces need replacement.

The intake valve replaces 14711-426-003; the exhaust valve replaces 14721-426-003. Both are listed for this CB650 application. Avoid choosing by appearance alone, especially when the removed parts or cylinder head may have been changed. Each valve is sold individually; four intake valves and four exhaust valves replace all eight positions.
The Kibblewhite package contains eight Viton stem seals. The separate standard seal is sold individually. Count the positions included in the repair and choose the required quantity of individual seals or the eight-piece package.
Inspect the valve seat, spring, retainer and keepers; for an exhaust valve, also check installed height. Have the seat machined as needed, then set cam timing and valve clearance to Honda specifications after assembly.
Eight seals are included. The separately linked standard seal is sold individually, so its required order quantity must be entered separately.
Measure valve-stem-to-guide clearance and have excessive guide wear corrected. New valves or stem seals do not establish that the guides are serviceable.
