I bought a 78 cb750f ss about a year ago, with plans to do a tear down and restoration.
I have torn down the top end to the rods, and now after cleaning everything and buying an assortment of new parts, I have started the process of putting back together. When I was cleaning the cyclinder studs, I noticed some weird rubbery seal things on the bottom of a few of the studs, which would have been inbetween the crankcase and the cylinder. I looked in my gasket kit, my seal kit, and everyhting else I have. Im not sure if i'm completely missing something obvious but I cannot figure out what these things are. I have looked through all of the diagrams of this engine and watched any videos I can find that include the parts i'm talking about. These things are nowhere. As far as I can tell there should be 2 dowels, and 2 o-rings. And those should be the only things on the studs between the crankcase and cylinder. If anybody knows what these are I would really appreciate the knowledge. Cheers
Hopefully im being dumb! Pictures of it on the stud and one torn off of the stud
