Cylinder head

Finally installed the new head. Here is a pic of the inside of the old head and one of the new head on the bike.

A rotary tool and scotch brite bits followed up with polishing pads and compounds. Then a bit of patience and willingness to get dirty lol.

I used these specific ones as they go up to "1000" grit. I then did 3 stages of polishing compound with cotton buffer pads.

Turned out looking ok.


I then did as previously described by doing the flange surface on a piece of glass with increasing grits of sand paper. I only did up to 400 grit, which is more than enough. You can keep going up in grit if so desired. I recommend doing this part last if you use a rotary tool, as you can see evidence in the previous photo of me having a few disagreements with the flange surface and the buffing wheels more than a few times.
Damn! That’s clean…
