Does anyone know if the FZR 600 cylinder head, will fit the FZS 600. I have really had some bad luck with broken downpipe studs. Or has anyone got a good FZS 600 head with all exhaust studs by chance.Many thanks
Why do you need to replace the head? I had two snapped flush and just took the entire engine to my local engineering shop and they drilled them out and re-tapped all for like £30

I had 6 snap flush, and a new head (including valves, springs, shims, buckets, cams) was only £50, getting them drilled/retapped was quotes of £150 onwards everywhere I looked

Ah, that's fair enough - expected a second hand head to be a lot more expensive to be honest

and get them drilled and tapped, many thanks.
Its a pretty easy job, did it myself in a day back in January when it got dark at 4pm

Putting it back together is a bit more fiddly but managed to do it again in a day with the help of Exupnut as well. Its a good learning experience as well
