bent cylinder head fin

Get a replacement or leave it alone. It WILL crack if you try to bend it.

Thanks guys.

I think I will try to get it exchanged since most of the other parts are on backorder anyway.

Ant> Don't even worry about it. It won't change the temp to a noticeable degree.

Maybe that will teach them to package your other items properly.

I hope so. One layer of buble wrap and newspapers just don't cut it for packing heads.

Apparently bent fin was not from shipping, it's how some of them come. Well i guess it's fine, I will leave it along, it's a more of a practice engine anyway.

One strange thing I've noticed when trying to see how well cylinders fit into the head is that, it's a bit loose. Not by much, but I am able to move the cylinder side to side a bit. Is that normal? I remember the original heads were kind of a tight fit. Also one of my cylinders has a part of the fin (large one) broken off should I replace that cylinder or would it be ok?

It's ok to use that cylinder.

The head to cylinder fit should be fairly snug, but nowhere near "tight" sideways. If it is sloppy loose, the heads would be bored out to accept a larger size cylinder. Measure them.
