mineurbiz Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 My buddy just stripped the bolt hole that holds the manifold to the head, we want to get his bike running for the Regatta and was wondering if someone had a head for sale or could use for the weekend? Quote
dunefreak Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Just heli-coil it and fix it. You could get an angle drill in there and then tap and heli-coil it can't you? I have an angle drill if you wanna borrow it. Or over-night a new head NOW! http://dratv.com/engineparts1.html Quote

Or over-night a new head NOW! http://dratv.com/engineparts1.html I said the same thing, he has a $250 tap and die set, but is claiming he does not have the time this week. He is coming either way, so I will see what I can con him into doing. Quote
mineurbiz Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 OK just called him again giving all kinds of options (need all the 70's we can get there) and he is dropping the motor tonight and taping it. I told him worse can, a little redneck engineering for a weekend, 1211 the manifold and the bad bolt in (since it still screws in a little), not a great way to go about it, but it will get it out there for the weekend.

dunefreak Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Eff it, 3 words.... J B WELD! Hope he gets it fixed! :angry2: Get on it ma facka! Quote
EY3BA11 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 if the threads arent totally gone just run a tap thru there to get most of the threads back and call it good Wont be perfect but should hold for a weekend Quote
mineurbiz Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 If I were him I would just drop the motor, 4 bolts and your done (for the most part). Quote
RAGDOLL MX Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 i have 2 heads you can use...take your pic. PM sent Quote
bstecki Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 If you are still looking, I am in Henderson and have 3 or 4 heads to choose from. Quote
mineurbiz Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Right on guys, I think he is to lazy to pull his head off, so he is going to run it style. He might be looking to buy one after this lol. Quote
dunefreak Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 sounds like his head is up his a$$ j/k Quote
mineurbiz Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 sounds like his head is up his a$$ j/k LOL sometimes, but I cannot say I am any better. Quote
RUn2it Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 sounds like his head is up his a$$ j/k While his head is up there he should look around for smackers, I think they're in season now Quote
