Personally I'd just get the head and swap it out myself, that way I know it's 
done with attention to details.

Just an update. I had a buddy contact his friend that works at a
different Honda shop. He looked up my VIN and told me that the
cylinder head IS under warranty until August 2012, despite being told
the opposite by the Honda dealer that I got the bike from. Basically,
I should have a working bike right now. Instead, I have a bike with JB
weld and an exhaust leak that was created by the Honda dealer, as well
as a used cylinder head that I didn't have to buy in the first place.
I have already spent $200 on something that was under warranty to
begin with. I am calling Honda customer service today and getting this
straightened out and taking it to a different Honda dealer.

My question now is, why would they bother trying to drill out the
cylinder head and risk screwing it up, when the whole thing is under
warranty? Are they just trying to get my $$ for labor? Crazy. At least
I am off the hook for swapping the head out myself. Phew.

 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

Poor abandoned 700S. It's missing the headlight, fairing, and at least the
right sidecover. This just might be one of the worst CL ad pics I've ever
seen.

I got my 83 650 from Detroit and it has been good so far :)

If I was in the area, I might go check it out. Central California is a bit far 
though... :(
