1974 Honda CB550K · Valvetrain Buying guide
Intake and exhaust replacements use different references. Kibblewhite also lists standard shoulder-style guides, an eight-spring kit and eight Viton seals. Each package needs its own contents check rather than a shared quantity assumption.

The ordinary stem seal is explicitly sold each, and the Kibblewhite seal package supplies eight. The spring kit also states eight springs; the guide is sold each. The standard valve descriptions give no pack quantity, so confirm their supply count before calculating the complete order.
The Kibblewhite guide is standard size and sold individually, with C63000 nickel-aluminum bronze construction. Its shoulder-style design does not use separate OEM-style guide clips. Compare that documented arrangement with the required head work; the guide listing does not provide a machining or installation procedure.
The current description explicitly says sold each, despite the old pack-of-ten wording in the product address. Use the supplied quantity stated in the listing, or compare the separate Kibblewhite package that explicitly contains eight seals.
Yes. The Kibblewhite spring set of eight lists the CB500K from 1971 to 1973 and the CB550K from 1974 to 1976. The springs are chrome silicon wire, heat-treated and shot-peened.
No. The standard intake and exhaust replacements are described as made in Japan. Kibblewhite’s separate Black Diamond valves identify USA manufacture, stainless steel and sold-each supply; choose the intended part without assuming identical package quantities.
