Motorcycle Repair: 1993 Dyna/ Leaky Head, head gaskets, head gasket


Question
My husband is beside himself trying to figure out what is wrong with his ride. He has a leaky head so he bought another one and had it decked, port and polished. He put it on and the same problem still exists. He bought new headgaskets again and new headbolts because someone told him they could be warped or something. Still, same problem. I just want to help him. He attends MMI here in PHX, AZ and his instructers or nobody there seems to know what to do. Do you know what he should do?

Answer
He needs to check the cylinder studs. He might of pulled a stud or crack the engine case. He has to remove the head and cylinder and look very close at the stud closes to the center of the motor. Have the head checked for flatness and the cylinder base and head gasket serface checked for flatness. Also make sure he is using the correct head gaskets. There are many different kinds out there.
