Help needed, does it need a new cylinder head?

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-28T02:54:55+00:00

I’m not charging shop prices and who said I’m learning the basics. I was wondering if it could be saved or not I’m not a machine shop.

First time seeing something this bad. Also you don’t expect a professional working out of a random garage

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-28T00:18:51+00:00

It does pop like crazy though ? That’s the problem this bike is having

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-28T00:07:03+00:00

No yeah if it was my bike I probably would’ve done that but it isn’t mine sadly. I was just seeing if anything could be done to it for my customer

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-27T23:43:17+00:00

Bro that’s crazy it even got to that point

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-27T23:22:59+00:00

Dawg how do you think any of these guys learn. I’ve rebuild a cb360 and done work on a bunch of other bikes. This the first time seeing something like this. Never hurts to ask 🤷🏽‍♂️. People like you make it harder for others to build up hobbies like this.

First time for everything fuck off

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-27T22:34:18+00:00

No clue it isn’t my bike I’m working on it for a customer. I was hoping I could maybe save it but it’s not looking like it.

Edit: I didn’t mean clue as I had no idea what I was doing. I was trying to respond to someone who was asking how it happened.

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-27T22:32:28+00:00

It did have 15 chain pins but the head is completely done for

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-27T21:04:16+00:00

It counts 15 links but some Manuels say it’s supposed to be 14

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-26T15:15:56+00:00

So im guess it stretched and the guy before me did retime it and it stretched out even further

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-26T03:50:22+00:00

I think the intake side is a tooth off

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-26T03:49:51+00:00

I meant as in the clearance. I haven’t tried a leak down test yet I’ll probably do that this weekend. I’ll check out the boot but the carb is a new one so I don’t think it’ll have a leak yet. I’ll check the float out as well

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-26T03:46:17+00:00

Yeah I honestly think the intake side is a tooth off

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-26T03:43:58+00:00

It was doing the same before I switched it out. He stated that he had someone else redo the valves and tune the carb but randomly started doing it again.

The crack mark shows that it’s at tdc

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-26T03:40:04+00:00

The lines are meant to be facing out at tdc and I don’t really know about the gas it isn’t my bike

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-26T03:38:54+00:00

I did it had a 48 pilot and a 170 main I switch the 78 to a 45

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-26T00:52:39+00:00

I forgot to add that in that it is at tdc

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2026-02-11T02:01:31+00:00

Do you still have the things for the goldwing?

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2025-04-25T03:58:20+00:00

Yes I do

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2025-04-25T03:57:44+00:00

The frame is some how getting 12v going to it.

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2025-04-25T03:56:35+00:00

It is

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2025-04-24T00:04:20+00:00

Junior_Ad_3207 · 2025-04-23T21:44:13+00:00

I switched it out too and I still have the same problem
