[QUOTE="Bultaco206, post: 1138142, member: 45591"] I've always subscribed that the dirt-gets-in-the-head thoery is the stuff urban legends are made of. I've run the head-type on my Buls (MX/DT/Trials) for 30-some-odd years and have never had an issue with dirt ingestion. When it's open, there's a positive flow of compression - turning the motor into a one-way air pump. By the time the pressure would equalize enough to let dirt in - the motor has stopped running. A dirty air filter, or one with a bad seal, would let in way more contaminants than a compression release would. [/QUOTE]
