Got my cam in today. Went to start it , no compression, tore it down and wouldnt you know the valves are bent from the old cam breaking. can the valves be straitend out ? also notice a very very small crack in the head running from a vavle to the spark plug. is this fixable ? should i just sell the dang thing?

Get a new topend off of ebay, from the day you sell your trike and on you will regret it!

No,you do not want to try to straighten bent valves.They are junk once they are bent.Can you post a pic of the problem spot on the head?

Its hard to see what do you guys think? Can it be fixed? Will it hurt any thing to just leave the crack? http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=27531&stc=1&d=1146101985

You better replace it, that crack will only grow and leak compression. As far as the 350 quad motor goes i have no idea, look up the specs for the two engines and see if the stroke is the same and if the bore is the same!

Sorry,but you need to get rid of that.Take out of the head what is salvageable.Them you can sell it to someone who needs it,or keep it for your self.

It looks like a rancher head might work. But ask around and see if anyone knows.

You definetly need to sell it, when would it be convenient for me to pick it up. ;)
