Doesn't apply in your case, but if you remove the head for any reason, and you know the liners weren't leaking and you DO NOT MOVE THE CRANK. AT ALL!!! Clive recons you can get away without re-sealing.
Thats looking good 3 pot. Don't forget it's important to make sure the head bolt holes are dry to avoid a hyraulic lock before they torque down on the head properly. And, the threads should be wetted with oil if I remember rightly.
But,inlets look more like pizza cutters!!......................................
Try Ivan at National Triumph in Wolverhampton he charged me 50 pounds for a complete head for my old 98 Steamer.
As it happens,I contacted him recently. He was selling a head,inc valves,off a Speedy. No shims though,so couldn't tell what state the valves were? But I asked him if he knew any difference between them? But he only advised on keeping original. Tbh,I don't think there is? My head doesn't look as if it's had any special treatment etc,as in porting? Can still see some rough casting marks etc. Which I suppose I could remove myself??
