I reckon that could be cleaned up - screw a spark plug in, hold the plug body in the chuck of a lathe and smooth it off. Don't take off too much and it shouldn't drop the compression. Or you could also take a corresponding amount off the sealing face and get the compression back.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

assuming it doesnt come in contact with a good piston in normal stroke, is there any reason why you need to do anything with it other than stick it back together?

sharp points will (might) glow red hot under normal running and cause detonation.

OH thats fucken helpful!! JeeeeppersWell, you couldn't make it a whole lot worse.
Na mate seen them worse than that! You can get that machined you just need to make sure the squish is set correctly and the bowl size is the same so the compression is same.
Do you want me to email one of my good Karting mates and see if he will machine it for you. No guarantee's he's pretty busy and it will mean sending it to Wellington.

Well why the hell didn't you say what you meant instead of the Krapman comments your always spouting!
You do have a reputation around KB to uphold I suppose???
Tell you what why don't you "fuck off" back to the rest of KB till you actually have an MX bike, as there's been nothing constructive in your contributions to this thread so far! That's for sure!!!
BTW: the offer still stands Tommorth!!

Seen worse. Much worse. Question is how much meat do you have before you hit the water jacket?
You can get it machined to take out all the damage (as someone said). Only problem is that it may leave the metal too thin so that it breaks through to the water passage.
Or you can just use sandpaper, file and Dremel to clean it up, remove high bits, smooth over low bits.
It's a two smoker, so the head doesn't do much , just needs to be strong enough and smoothish. And have a sane amount of squish.

Good points Xion but my mate would make those decisions for him as std pratice as part of the job.
If you don't want to go down that road tommorth you can do what Xion suggests.

Just got my first red rep from Krapman with this comment. Copy and paste here.
"Is this head stuffed? 3rd September 2008 19:10 Katman Go fuck yourself. "
what a guy aye! I've never red rep'ed anyone and never had any! I guess I'll just have to go return the favour!
Maybe you guys would like to join me!

$40ish doesn't seem like much money to spend to gain the peace of mind that the head won't cause a problem down the line. But I guess it all adds up to become expensive with all the parts needed.
Why not have a go cleaning it up, re-evauate and post up more pics.
Do the KTM's have different sized base gaskets to adjust the cmpression? Maybe you could use the thinnest gasket to gain any lost compression by the work to clean the head???? Anyone know more on this???
