There's no such thing. Like buying a *kit* for an american car, actually never was a *kit* for Honda 600's. All pieces were sold separately. But now most parts are discontinued, you have to search the world looking for pieces.

You can also buy gasket material and the appropiate tools to make your own gaskets. very time consuming but possible. You can try to carefully remove the old ones and use them or just use teh case itself for your pattern. If you are really brave, you can "glue" the motor together with the various "gaskets in a tube" from the different manufacturers. Don't recomment that one but it might be possible if you are really desperate. Maybe talk with a good motorcycle shop and see how they do their air-cooled motorcycle engines that they can't find gaskets for.

Sounded to me more like he wants a piston set, cam chain, rollers, guides, clutch kit, gaskets/seals, crank bearings, rod bearings, cam bearings - The complete rebuild kit - not just the gaskets kit ?

Thank you all for the help.
Understand the messages that there is no full set gasket for the engine and will have to buy each one individually. I plan to dismantle the engine during this month and see what it takes to rebuild the engine completely. This engine was not start for 23 years and when I bought we can start with very little effort. This will be the first step to a complete restoration and want to start the right way.Thanks

Hi Alex,
In your message, you seem to indicate you were able to start your car with very little effort. If this is true, why are you rebuilding the engine? Your time would be better spent determining if a problem exists.
A compression test, an oil analysis, listening to the engine, checking under the valve cover, and looking at the clutch and the area under the primary drive cover would yield lots of useful information.
Unlike most cars you may have worked on, you will find the crankshaft on these cars was not intended to be rebuilt. It was designed to be used and replaced with a new assembly which included the crank and connecting rods. The assembly is pressed together.....not bolted.
good luck,
Dale

Thank you all for your good advice. My intention is to fully restore the car that includes every possible detail. This particular car was held for 25 years, when I buy I start and immediately turn off for fear of damaging any internal parts for the old oil. I plan to remove the engine to inspect the internal conditions and see possible parts may need. For now I'm sure it may require all engine gaskets and seals. This I hope to do so next month I will be letting them know my progress. For now I appreciate the support.Here in Puerto Rico that I could not find anyone who has specific knowledge on these cars, here I've only known that there are three more N600. Two of them are in the showroom of a Honda dealer and the other is from a private collection of a friend who has never been shown to the public. That is why the restoration of my car is highly anticipated among fans of Hondas on the island and would be the first N600 they would see that many of them personally, I inform you that here we love Hondas! An example of this is that in Puerto Rico we have the world's fastest S2000 (Red Star Motoring@7.754). Thanks again and continue contact.
