Head Replacement

[19echo95]

Ok, so I have recently came into possession of an older model Warrior. I'm thinking it is one of the first few year models. Anyway, I bought it knowing it had an oil leak and I was hoping it was just a gasket or something easy to fix. Well it turns out that it has a cracked head. I decided that I am gonna try to fix it seeing as how I only paid $250 for it. I was just wondering if anyone has a tutorial for replacing the head or any kind of manual to help me with it? If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has a head or know someone who has a head they would be willing to sell I'm willing to pay a fair price.

I just found these on ebay that I am thinking about getting one of them. I don't really know much about them if anyone could let me know if they're good that would be great.

The head is relatively easy.

I highly recommend one of these manuals http://www.amazon.com/Clymer-Repair-Manual-Yamaha-Warrior/dp/B000GZZ3ZG

Ah I have watched your videos and heard you mention the forums that's actually what got me here. I just got the head off. When I drained the oil there was some metal shavings. Also, once I got the head off and I took the valve covers off I noticed something rattling around. I shook the head around and something fell out. It was a round metal piece that was broken in half. Not sure what this could be. I'm thinking it has something to do with the cam but I'm not sure. Do you have a head with the cam and valves in it?
