Hey Guys, First post here. Just purchased a 1978 CB750K8. It runs (not good) but has been sitting a few years. After closer inspection I have oil leaks.
1- Appears to be from neutral safety switch.
2- Appears to have a head gasket leak near #1, #2.
Questions: The bike has 22k miles.
Should I replace the head gasket or while I have it off, should I do a valve job, and rings?
What kind of miles can one expect before needing new rings? As far as I can tell, I bought from the original owner and feel confident he took care of it (maintenance wise, oil changes and etc.).
I'm just wondering if I can get by with just a head gasket and move on to other items the bike needs.
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
