Woho won't be long before you have it up and running again
Re: Front Head Removal
I would use spring washers it can't do any harm. There is a lot of vibration down there with all the bumps in the road etc they will help keep the nuts from working loose, especially with a bit of copper slip so they don't seize themselves on.

Dome nuts protect the thread from all the road crap coming off the front tyre.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: Front Head Removal
i had a snapped stud i tried every thing and eventually fkcude the cylinder head but solved it by bolting a metal plate from the threaded hole above the exhaust p[ort were the frame mount bolts then goes to rad and fairing to the metal plate on the exhaust pipe then tightened the other side
exhaust nut dow it worked a treat Alas when i started to prepare to fit manual tensioners, I looked at the spare head sitting on my bench it hat two studs in it and i felt GUILTY WITH MY BODGE what if some one looked at it so saying as cams were to be changed i was so close to removal so ithought
sod it i have made it so far with my wrecked hands and shakes its took a long time,i have tried to read things but got muxed up so i just went for it
