    So just to get the clear, you are going to get a new head to fix the valve issues? The compression was way up and or out of spec along with the valves so new head? Just want to make sure I/we have that correct.

    If the compression is waaay to high,
    Either the tester is out of whack, or the valve train is not right.

    BUT--- we STILL have two different bikes we're trying to discuss. As K-moe said...let's NOT MIX BIKES. Can we discuss just one
