Hi, Took my twin cam head to a harley dealer to have a valve guide pressed in. While they were working on it, the seat shattered, and put a crack in the port. They want to weld it, and my question is..is this a good idea?? and can it be trusted?? Should I just buy a new head? Thanks for your input!!

 

I think the dealer should be responsible for giving you a new head.

 

I agree, they broke it, that should not have happened. AND no, I would not weld a head plain and simple

 

Just wondering if it was a Dealer, Independent or machince shop that broke the head.

Interesting how this plays out with more info. How old is the head.

Most stock heads are not that expensive to buy a new one.

 

WTF? I just replied to this somewhere else.

 

Did you drive out the old guide yourself before taking it to the dealership?

 

Same question posted 3 times ???

 

I think they need to give you head....sorry man, had to!

 

I did too.Guess it was not here.

 

Welding a head to repair it? No, just no.

Besides if I break something while fixing something I'm responsible for fixing both. If that made sense.
