[QUOTE="BigRedAF, post: 1260450, member: 58172"] When you buy a older used bike from a stranger it's hard to know what your getting. When you get the head off put a piece of sand paper at least three times bigger than the head on a flat glass surface. Use fine grit somewhere in the 400 range, wet the paper and move the head around on it in a figure 8 pattern for a few circuits. Turn it over a check to see that all surfaces are smooth. I suspect a warped head or perhaps they cut it in the past and did a poor job. If there are shinny spots and dull spots your head surface is warped. You'll need to keep the pattern going until it is completely smooth. Don't worry your only taking a few thousands of material off. Be sure and use a good torque wrench and tighten in increments, use a criss cross criss pattern. Those heads use a low torque value so a torque wrench measured in inch pounds works best. Good luck...
