    Don't eat either one and you'll be a lot healthier and live a lot longer with less diseases. I and many like me are living proof. I know I'm talkin' to a brick wall here.

    Got my new roller chain yesterday and dicovered it had no master link. We have to send out for one. :gah:

    Years ago. I was at a large Oil company. There were chemical engineers and all in a lab. I was doing some work for them.
    Asked the question about Global Warming.
    They said that this is something started that is gonna make a lot of folks & companies rich.
    The government has gotten on board with it too.

    Tall building and all the concrete being poured is what has cause the climate to rise a little.
    A lot of people are gonna get grants to climb in and ride.

    Mabe you know more than them.
    Personally I'm gonna listen to them.

    :gah:must not have a real sunnen guide bore gauge or just cant do the math!. dial indiacator on a worn out stem and out of round guide is not the proper way to check fittment if you check the guides by the set up in most service manuals , that is by far the **** way for guide fittment . messure the stem on valves if they clean up and are round . even if they are new set up bore gauge to spec and check guide clearence with gauge top to bottom side to side . if tight hone to size if big line or replace plain and simple . and for under 100.00 dollars per head f- it replace them . valve job is only as good as guide is centric . it will keep for a long time if guides are true . send them heads to me ill drive them to kirby myself!!!!!!!!!!:gah:

    I sent the heads out Nov. 18 - a month ago and they're not done yet, plus the plug hole will still be f****d. Tattoo will have to repair it. I just KNEW I shoulda sent them to Kirby, but it's too late now. I'm going over to Tattoo's and raise some hell today.:witsend: He said I'd have the heads back in a week.

    I hate this - my whole day is starting off wrong. At least I'm on winter break, starting today - but no bike which means no riding. Bike has been down since Oct. 23.

    Time and time again there have been delays and setbacks and added expenses. I'm beginning to wonder if somebody "up there" is trying to tell me something?

    What I can't understand is why a machinest that is doing head work now can't repair the plug hole before it leaves his shop . Does not sit correct with me? . If he does seat and guide work surely you shoud be able to fix a plug hole? I don't know joshbob I think these guys are taking advantage of your good nature time to start putting them in there place!
