1972 Honda CB500K · Valvetrain Buying guide
The offered Japanese-made intake and exhaust valves have separate references. Stem-seal choices include an individually sold replacement and an eight-piece Kibblewhite set; the shoulder-style guide has its own installation-design distinction.
Japanese-made intake valveThe current intake-valve listing specifies replacement reference 14711-107-020 and CB500K fitment. Match it to intake duty and the head being serviced; do not substitute it for the exhaust valve.View part
Japanese-made exhaust valveListed for the CB500K, this exhaust valve carries several Honda replacement references, including 14721-323-005. Check the full listing against the old exhaust-valve application before choosing it.View part
Eight-piece Kibblewhite stem-seal setThis USA-made red Viton seal set is explicitly described as eight pieces, replacing reference 12209-333-005. Compare that package with the individually sold stem seal when planning the head-work order.View part

The individual stem-seal listing uses a historical URL containing a pack quantity, but its current description says sold each. The Kibblewhite red Viton listing explicitly supplies a set of eight. Base the order on those descriptions instead of the URL or the number of seals in a photo.
The Kibblewhite standard-size guide is described as C63000 nickel aluminum bronze and shoulder style. Its listing says it does not use separate OEM-style guide clips. Have the cylinder-head specialist confirm the required guide and fitting work; no machining clearance is supplied here.
Each intake or exhaust listing supplies one Japanese-made valve. The CB500K uses four of each, so complete valve replacement requires four intake valves and four exhaust valves. Choose quantities for the positions identified during the head assessment.
The separately sold seal supplies one piece; eight are required for the complete CB500K head. The Kibblewhite Viton product supplies all eight in one set. Compare the stated material and package quantity before building the order.
The standard-size Kibblewhite guide has a machined shoulder and does not use separate OEM-style clips. It is sold each for intake or exhaust positions; confirm the guide design and quantity with the shop handling the head work.
