1972 Honda CB500K · Gaskets and seals Buying guide
Individual head, base and cover gaskets are offered alongside Athena sets and a nine-piece oil-seal kit. Use the old part, joint outline and stated Honda reference to narrow the choice before comparing packages.
Cylinder-head gasketListed against Honda reference 12251-374-306 for the CB500K, this gasket serves the cylinder-head joint. It is a different part from the gasket around the removable head cover.View part
Athena top-end gasket setThe current listing identifies this as a top-end-only set and directs you to the photographed contents. Confirm any particular gasket you need rather than extending the package to lower-engine work.View part
Nine specified engine oil sealsThe description lists nine seals, including crankshaft, crankcase, gearshift, mainshaft, tach-drive and countershaft locations. Compare that stated list with your job; gasket coverage is a separate decision.View part

A paper or formed joint gasket and a shaft oil seal are not interchangeable ways to fix a leak. Locate the source before buying. Keep the head, base and outer-cover joints separate from the shaft positions named in the oil-seal kit description.
Athena top-end and overhaul sets are listed separately. The top-end listing points to its photo; the overhaul listing does not provide a complete itemized contents list. If a particular gasket is essential to your repair, confirm its inclusion or select the appropriate individual part.
No. The head-cover gasket is listed against 12391-323-000, while the cylinder-head gasket carries 12251-374-306. Match the actual joint and old gasket rather than relying on similar names.
It contains two crankshaft seals, left and right crankcase seals, gearshift-drum and spindle seals, mainshaft, tachometer-drive and countershaft seals. Gaskets and O-rings are separate; compare the named locations with the engine work before choosing the kit.
The Athena set is described for top-end work and includes the photographed contents. Compare those contents with the joints being opened. Individual head, head-cover, base and alternator-cover gaskets have their own references when specific replacements are needed.
