I dropped off my head to be resurfaced and tanked. The machine shop needs new valve seals before they install my valves. I checked hondaautomotiveparts.com and they list four types of valve seals. Two "Valve A's" & two "Valve B's", im assuming that both a's are the same as are the b's. My question is do I order one set of each A&B?

here is the link, its numbers 4&5

i'm not 100% positive on this but i'd say order 8 of both and you should be good (judging by the diagram)

 

anyone else?

 

Get all 8, for both intake and exhaust. And order only the "b" ones. When I call and talk to them, when there is more than one part number for the same part, they just tell you that Honda upgraded the part, and the new one is what you get. So you don't need to order 8 of "a" and 8 of "b", just order 8 of the "b". Your post actually reminded me that I forgot to order those when I placed my order on Monday for a ton of crap. Yes, complete rebuild is only a couple weeks away from being done!

 

are you sure i just order eight? dont you need one for each valve which makes sixteen?

I think he meant 8 for intake and 8 for exhaust.

 

Yes, so 16 total.

 

anyone else have any comments before i buy?

 

the "a" seals are intake and the "b" seals are exhaust

 

Yes, I think they are different. One type has a black spring and one has a silver spring. I think I remember something about that in the helm. I don't have one handy though...
