BK, assuming that you've not done so already, buy a kit; you can never have too many gaskets for those 'little jobs', especially for the camchain tensioner and clutch cover.

A copper head gasket, once compressed, should be discarded when removed. Don't take a chance if your bike is as precious to you as most of ours are to us all! It's inconvenient, at best, if it fails ANYWHERE; tragic, at worst. My philosophy? If you do a job properly in the first place, then you only do it once!!

Regards and good luck,

Steve

I got my second kit here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0256590310
You could email the guy & see if he has more ddrano@telus.net

Alternatively, eBay search honda cb77 (or whichever your model is) & trawl for a kit; they appear frequently.

Good luck!
