Hi everyone. I have a 1983 GN250 in pretty bad nick that im restoring/ modifying. The head and piston are damaged, im replacing the bore and piston but heads are hard to come by so im going to repair it.
There are a few gouges and dents in the combustion chamber that i have ground out clean, no cracks anywhere. A couple are very close to the valve seats so i cant weld them without replacing the valve seats, which i would rather avoid. My current plan is to braze them using a product like hts2000, which melts at around 350 celcius and then grind and polish the chamber. Has anyone else done something similar to this? Any ideas what temperature the GN head gets to?
Also, the head has been planed at some point in the past, does anyone know what the overall thickness of the head is stock? alternatively, what the volume of the combustion chamber is.
Thanks for any help.
