Ok.. while checking for a loss of power I found I have a #1 cylinder exhaust valve that appears to have a collapsed seat. In looking at pulling the heads to have them re-done, I can go to the local machine shop and have them re-worked (any recommendations in Sacramento?) or going with new. I was looking at air cooled classics' web site and they have new heads for $1600 usd... OUCH! They explain how great and long lived their heads are. Question is does this a good alternative or does it make sense over the long run versus just taking them to the local machine shop for a rebuild. This is a stock motor running on stock FI.
Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
