Of course it's possible to crack a GS head - just tighten a central head bolt till you hear a nice loud snap. And remember Fudd's First Principal of Opposition: "If you push something hard enough, it will fall over".

I'm with Rusty
How was the "cracked head" diagnosed?
Could it be a blown head gasket?
Or, better yet, a leaky tach drive?
Is there a big oil smear on the motor?
I don't disagree with Ray, I'm sure it happens. But we're all just speculating until we see some pictures!!!!!
And does it really have only 7900 miles? That's brand new
Test the compression, adjust the valves and post up what you find.Last edited by Big T; 07-10-2008, 05:45 PM.1978 GS 1000 (since new)
