I replaced my original cylinder head because it arrived with exhaust valve closed and burned it. I ordered a replacement head and striped out the cylinder head cover bolts holes - now repairing. This technique can help you ensure your new / upgraded head matches your original. I used the replacement head for 3,500 - 7,100 miles. Seems to me the template of the original shuld fit exact on the replacement. Anyway, thats the template matching methode. If anyone can offer explinations of how it can be off so much and still work - it would be interesting.   |

What do you mean if arrived with the exhaust valve closed?? All heads come with the valves closed its the Rocker Arms and cam that opens them and you have to adjust the valves after putting the cam in and rocker assembly?  |

No, when I bought the bike new and they shipped it to me. The valve lash was incorrect / closed / no gap and burned the vale up.

alleyoop --> Thanks, I'm on it.  The photos are of the original head and my second replacement head.... My third head (big port with stainless steel valves) is on my bike and is "NOT" shown in pictures above. |
