cylinder head

24 Aug 2013 18:52

Wondering if anyone has a cylinder head for an 82 kz1000 for sale??? been dealing with the camshaft cap bolt holes and they are shot...had the timeserted and they must have used the wrong size bit because even they failed...was thinking of trying to find a machine shop to fill the holes back in and redrill and tap...

You can use a little bigger bolt. Also if iam not mistaken ive seen people put longer bolts in also.

Would the (Time Sert) Big-Sert work?
I used that kit to redo the four cam-end 6mm holes on a head I had, and they worked beautifully.

What is the current hole diameter where the Timeserts failed? Did they pull out, or spin in-place?
