I am just wondering here....the gasket face looks OK. The dents are in the dome portion for the most part. I suspect there would be some interference with detonation but how much? It may be fine to use as is. Never done it...Just wondering....
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

I'm tempted to just run it and rebuild the head that's on the bike now. I'm going to sand blast the combustion chambers with the valves in it and see how it looks then. It might be my barrels on the bike and on the bench may be too far gone. In that case I'll use the best of what I have and RIDE THE PISS OUT OF IT :woohoo: until I can go 1075 and send the other head in for the works. B)
That's what I wanted anyway.

Steve,

Your welcome. After seeing your level of frustration with the light in the video you posted "looking for the cross hatch" on October 14th, I had to pay it forward because you helped me with the tach back half, you saved me more than I spent on the desk lamp... It was kinda meant tongue in cheek as a joke. but I'm clad your using it...

Thanks.

Glad to hear they made it...only 7 days...Canada Post is pretty good. Not as good as Amazon but still pretty good.

Looks like this will work. I may hone them more when I set up for the Andrews cams. Might make them more even as well.
