This video covers a top end rebuilt/refresh on the cb550 and cb500 models, all years. I've worked on a few of these in the past year and the all exhibit the same problems: head gasket oil leak and low compression due to carbon build up on the engine valves. Taking it all apart, some soda blasting, and new gaskets will restore the compression and get rid of the leaks.
