Time To Pull The Head, What Else Am I Missing?

You will definitely need a factory manual to show how to set up the cam timing to avoid screwing that up. I got a CD-ROM factory manual for my 750 on ebay for $6.[/quote]


I saw APE Raceparts on the KZzone site does head work. Anyone have experience with them?

No, I use a local machine shop. I understand APE does very good work based on what's posted here. In your case, you probably only need the valves/seats/head cleaned and lapped and reinstalled with new seals. At 6K miles, I seriously doubt any of the valves need replacing or grinding on. Bad seals will leave a bunch of burned on oil gunk around the valve seat and into the head, so that has to be stripped out for sure.
