1978 Honda CB550K · Gaskets & Oil Seals & Engine Hardware Buying guide
A head gasket, head-cover gasket and shaft seal serve different identified positions. The gasket-set photo and oil-seal kit’s named list help compare coverage without treating every sealing product as the same package.

The cylinder-head gasket references 12251-374-306, while the head-cover gasket references 12391-323-000. Compare the joint and removed outline with the appropriate description. When planning a top-end set, examine its photographed contents before adding those individual gaskets to the same repair order.
A separate item has a cylinder-base title but describes a clutch-cover gasket with reference 11394-390-306. Those names identify different joints. Seek clarification before choosing that item; use the consistent description and reference of the separately listed base gasket when comparing a cylinder-base requirement.
The Athena description says the supplied contents are shown in its product photo. Compare that image with the identified joints in the job, and confirm uncertain pieces before relying on a set name to complete the gasket list.
The nine-piece list names clutch lever, gearshift drum and spindle, right crankcase cover, two crankshaft seals, countershaft, main-shaft flat and tach seal. Compare those positions with the repair requirements instead of substituting the kit for a gasket set.
Clarify it first. The title says cylinder base, but the description identifies a clutch-cover gasket and reference 11394-390-306. The model application does not settle that part-name conflict; provide the required joint and removed-part details before ordering.
