head deck scratches - concerning?
« on: May 02, 2010, 05:11:43 PM »
Hi,
I accidentally put a few tiny scratches into the head deck that mates with the cylinders. There are no deep gouges. Wondering if these should be any concern?
Thanks,
Jason

In that area, as long as they are outside of the metal ring on the head gasket, they won't matter.
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.
