Don't forget when you get it sorted and put the heads back on to check the piston to head clearance. All of the indian made head gaskets I have seen to date are to thick and wont allow the clearance to be set correctly. It will run but wont be as clean as it can be. Hence we don't buy the Indian gaskets, we make our own to the OEM thickness. We have used heads as well hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other head is better but not perfect and seems to have been welded. Oh dear! Richard - who's done inserts for you - I am inclined to agree with BWM that it's a bit far gone but I'd like a machine shop to look at it first! Give us a ring, there's a link in my signature Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
