Das XL500 Forum

Hi baldock,

I am a fred that this might really work. Will you do so with your engine?

It is in general a good and long lasting solution with bronze bearing bushes.

The only thing is that you need to find somebody who can drill the head for an affordable price.

We had this discussion here once, if you search you will find a very very long thread where we discussed several solutions to save the most wanted XL-part.

The price for the machine work would be acceptable if you place an order for 10 or 20 heads at one time.
Many guys here have some destroyed heads laying, we would get together the required numbers of heads if solution and price would be acceptable...

What is your plan to do?

This was just a link that I stumbled onto.
Thankfully my head is fine and i don't have any others.
