sheerider11 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I would. The heat isn't dissipated thorough the head. Its not an area of heat transfer like the radiator. Now if it was a blaster with a air cooled motor then I'd look into it a lot more. But these bikes I wouldn't be concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie B Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Do it. It won't affect it at all. I recommend lapping it afterwards just incase it somehow warps from the heat. I did mine and lapped it afterwards but I knew it was warped before I started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicklez Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I dont think your gonna have a problem after you powder coat it. Just make sure you clean all the powdercoat off the machined surfaces. Get some 400 grit sand paper and if you have acess to a granite block. say it down and spray it with some wd40. then run the the head to clean it up nice. I think if its warped its gonna be so little that when you bolt it down, its gonna straighten out. Just check for leaks but we have never had a problem with PC'd heads.
