Snowballed.......

:woohoo: Got my head back from Larry today. Cams are stuck in some make believe bad weather in Indianapolis :blink: Here's some pics off my phone.

huh no idea why it's three of the same one.

here's another in case it's human error.

If UPS decides they want to lose my cams I guess I can bolt some BS34's to it and use it for a boat anchor.:ohmy:

Looks good!
are your hands that big,or does that head just look small in that picture? :laugh:
looks like they lost a bunch of material from inside the ports when they shipped it or is that larrys work?

I think the material that fell out of the ports end up on the cam end seal area. I got new Pingel end seals and they are to narrow to fit. They have a .2575" I.D. and the end of the head is .275- .280" thick, can I just sand some of the thickness off the outside of the head or what?

if the boots are soft you should be fine,allthough i usually smear a little clear silicone on them and let it tack up before installing the boots .
was that Larrys head going through his computer screen i just heard? :laugh:

the end seals are bought are aluminum so I either have to make them fit or buy stockers.

Andy... My Fast-By-Gas aluminum caps had to be tweaked as well... In my case, too tall, so just filed/sanded down to deck height, all good....

I originally had used high temp sealer, worked ok but not perfect, some minor seepage... Then it hit me, engine case sealer.... Hmmmm, works for sealing between cases should work here right...... Worked perfectly where it's thin enough to not add increased height and seals like a charm...

BTW, that head is sure purdy... Too bad your going to use it in your build and get it all oily.... :laugh: I'll send my dirty 1000 head to you, send me yours.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

As mentioned, we are all in the same boat. I had a leaky head gasket I wanted to change, turned into a redone top end and new paint, new tires, dynojet etc. I rode it for a year and am stripping it for a bigger rebuild/redesign.

your head sure turned out nice.

wow,did i really just type that?:silly:

that head cams,and carbs your bike should rip.

d@MN the SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here's the paint I got
It's got flake in it and just enough pearl to make it start to flop.
