Question:
I ask because I do not know, the last time I had a cylinder head off a motorcycle Noah had not started building his ark.
When you replaced the head gasket did you set up the valve clearances afterwards?
Not sure how it works nowadays but after an initial bedding in period the head use to have to be torqued down again and the valve clearances reset. I don't know if this applies to modern engines or not., but on my old BSA Super Rocket of many years ago this was the case, mind you that was a push rod engine with under-slung cam shaft.
The top end was serviced I.e valves and compression tests on my FZS when I bought it as apart of the purchase service.
