1975 Honda CB500T · Gaskets, Oil Seals & Engine Hardware Buying guide
You can buy seven oil seals, one head gasket, or an overhaul set. The overhaul set names the 1975-76 CB500T and also says 5-speed CB450K only. Those two claims disagree, so do not treat the set as every gasket this twin needs.
Engine oil seal kitSeven oil seals for Honda twins, for 1968-76 CB450, CL450, and CB500T use. The individual Honda seal numbers are not printed. Use the kit when the rubber seals are hard, leaking, or no longer holding oil.View part
Cylinder head gasketThis is one head gasket replacing 12909-428-003, 12909-283-000, and 12909-333-000. It is written for a twin or a four-cylinder Honda, and the 1975-76 CB500T is among the models named. Buy it when the head joint is the part you are sealing.View part
Engine overhaul gasket setThe overhaul set names the 1975-76 CB500T, CB450K 1965-74, and CL450K 1968-74, and the same write-up says 5-speed CB450K only. Contents are not itemized. If you need a known head gasket, buy the separate gasket by its Honda numbers.View part
The overhaul set does not name the gaskets inside it. Do not assume a head gasket or an oil seal is packed in it. The head gasket you can match by Honda number is the separate gasket.
The separate head gasket is not held to the 5-speed CB450K note. Its printed years are CB500T 1975-76 Twin, CB400F 1975-77, CB350F 1972 and 1974, CB450K 1966 and 1968-74, CL450K 1967 and 1969-74, and CB360T 1975-76, then a CB360 line with no year. Those spans differ from the overhaul set.
Fitment includes Honda CB500T 1975-76, and a note says it fits 5-speed CB450K models only. Nothing says which sentence controls, and nothing states the gearbox in this model. Compare both lines to the engine you have instead of dropping one.
No. The kit is seven oil seals for twin-cylinder engine assemblies. It does not describe a head gasket, and it does not mention 12909-428-003. That gasket is a separate piece. The overhaul product is the gasket set, and its contents are not itemized either.
12909-428-003, 12909-283-000, and 12909-333-000 are the OEM identities this one gasket replaces. They are not three gaskets in the package. Match any of them to the gasket you are removing. The 1975-76 CB500T is one of the models named for that same gasket.
