Hi guys, wot a great site this is with lots of info & stuff... keep up the good work
I,m riding a 03 plate storm at the moment but unfortunately i had cct failure on the rear cylinder which took the two exhaust valves with it and i'm also not happy with the way the intake valves are sitting
Now i've seen two complete rear cylinder head units for sale for under £60 on ebay but they are from the earlier model and both the sellers don't know whether they will fit the later model.
So my question to you guys is..... will it fit!

Thanks guys

Yep! it'll fit

Top answer... thanks Pete
By the way is there any do's & don't i need to know about when fitting the new/used cylinder!!!
Thanks

Personally I'd look into getting a price on reparing the original head. It all depends on the condition of what you've got, Just the thought of wondering if the cam journals are worn or the condition of the bore on a head you haven't seen would give me pause for thought. Could you just have some new valves and guides ground in on the old one? Might be a thought.
Changing the head will be no different than reinstalling the old one. Just look up the timing alignment on here as opposed to the Haynes manual. Many a folk have ended up with timing 180 degrees about face :wink2 Whichever way you go, best of luck

Thanks Pete for your advice but the exhaust valves are so bent that i can't even get them out using a valve spring compressor!!!
So i'm having to go by the good word & honesty of the ebay sellers

Welcome

Looks like Pete's answered your question!

If you still want to check the different years cylinder heads to see if they're all the same, you can check part numbers here:-
