[QUOTE="redzgrider, post: 1369612, member: 38076"] Is it a motorcycle specific machine shop, or a car machine shop doing a motorcycle head? Car biased shops tend to think in car needs. Yamaha spent the money on engineering design and analysis to develop guides that they can trust -- they have no desire to repair a head a second time, or lose customer base over internet reports of failing parts. Admittedly, those OEM guides are pricey -- what are the odds the cheaper ones are of similar quality? If you do go aftermarket, the write up at [URL="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0ahUKEwj_2_ni-9TUAhWHWCYKHbSWDooQFggxMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffjrforum.com%2Fmisc%2FFJR1300_Cylinder_Head_overhaul.pdf&usg=AFQjCNFfCo1o8DCYqampQZ9m8BxoiY0czw&cad=rjt"]https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0ahUKEwj_2_ni-9TUAhWHWCYKHbSWDooQFggxMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffjrforum.com%2Fmisc%2FFJR1300_Cylinder_Head_overhaul.pdf&usg=AFQjCNFfCo1o8DCYqampQZ9m8BxoiY0czw&cad=rjt[/URL] is awfully educational.
