I agree, you'd have to be pretty ham fisted to screw that up to the
point of needing a helicoil. In a car's engine bay sure, but I could
have the engine on a bench in an hour or so to be lazy at it. My 450
would be easy even laying on the floor to do it in the bike.

Hi All,
I had a bolt from the exhaust shear off in mt cylinder head. It was
drilled out by the honda dealer, but it required a "helicoil."
Unfortunately, there ended up being a crack that has resulted in an
exhaust leak. I have acquired a used (but in good condition) cylinder
head for replacement. The question is this: should I try replacing the
cylinder head and swapping valves myself, or have the honda dealer do
it. He estimates the labor at $600, which is steep. Is replacing the
head a tough job?
Thanks,
Brandon
