paul_t Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 If it has overheated the chances are the head is warped. If the head is warped the cam bearing saddles will almost certainly be banana shaped too, so the head may well be scrap. I'll see what they say when i take it to them on monday hopefully its not, Thanks for the warning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The kit also includes new valve stem seals, definitely worth getting these changed as well whilst the head is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
