Is this safe to run? Minor head damage
Is this safe to run? Minor head damage
Just picked up a decomp head and was not made aware it would come with repairs from a previous decomp valve install that ran from next to the plug into the dome. There's a lump of weld Ontop of the head and the filled in section where the hole used to be in the dome. There's also some minor damage in the dome I can feel with my nail, can I run this without issues? That won't become a hotspot will it? I haven't had alot of experience with issues like this but the guy that sold this to me didnt disclose that it was repaired from a previous decomp valve install or the minor damage in the dome. Should I be pissed? The head and valve install and custom squish hand mod for 93 octane was 425$ altogether not sure how I should feel[/img]
I don't think you will have any problem from the repair being a hot spot unless some carbon build occurs.
for $425 I would have expected a brand new head or at least let you know it was not. you could have bought a brand new head on fleebay for $115 I would think the mods you have would be less than $300? ya I'd be a little pissed

thanks for all the input guys! Its a little late in the game to send this back and wait on a new head from Roostius since I want to run the bike this weekend for the first time
I spoke with Sean and he did apologize for the head and gave me a partial refund for not disclosing the repair. In my eyes he made good on it.
