Re: Bent valves? VTR 1000 cylinder head rebuild service
Thanks guys for the quick reply.
The head will be off this weekend and I will check the extent of the damage. I am good with my spanners but dont fancy replacing valves and shimming myself as I want it doing right! I will keep you posted as I suspect I will need Tony's skills. Thanks again.
