Did you make you own head gasket?  What type of material were you using?  Can you
tell me the manufactuer and part number?
Just curious....is this an all-metal head gasket you made?
thanks,
Dale

no. i just reused the old headgasket. it came off clean so i sprayed
some copper gasketseal all over the gasket and installed it. it does
not leak what so ever. everything else i made gaskets for.

I hope you used a high temp gasket material? If you used regular auto
parts store paper you will have a problem shortly.
The brown paper you buy will absorb oil and squish down, you will
lose your torque and it will leak everywhere. Bill Colford sells a
set of pre printed, cut 'em out yerself gasket set. I have used them
before and they are top notch. He also has reproduction head gaskets
for sale.
My take on Parts Lingo:
Replacement Parts - something that fits or you can make fit
Aftermarket Parts - a part specifically designed for your car,
usually cheaper than OEM.
OEM - Original Equipment Manfacturer, made for or by Honda
NOS - New Old Stock - Parts left over from the olden days
NORS - New Old Replacement Stock - Aftermarket vintage parts such as
Lazorlite gasket set which was OEM repackaged and sold dirt
cheap.
Some items I sell in my eBay store, even though they are OEM were
made for some other Honda but will work in your 600, such as the
wheel bearings with the snap ring groove.

Fuel pumps

Post by Miles »

Mike OConnor sells a fuel pump from some Honda motorcycle that bolts on
and looks about the same as the original. You just have to change the
end that plugs in.
