Well tomorrow im heading to a local machinist to have my exhaust valve seats replaced. Anyone else ever had this issue?
I have, although the bike in question was not a GS5 and the seats were definitely not a`hammer fit` :D
I have had a valve replaced by a machinist after he determined the problem was not the seat.
lucky dog my seats got fried the actually shattered. Found a machinist in town that does replacements but afraid to find out what it's gonna cost me lol
And how did this turn out I am curious?
The valve seat replacement.
Done this loads of times on old beetles to allow for unleaded fuel. Fairly standard procedure at the time.
Any idea of the cost for this? I had a spare head but didn't know that it could be salvaged by replacing the seats.
