WR 500 cylinder

[bobpeters]

I done a bad thing. When tightening a head bolt, I broke the bolt hole (sleeve). It came off in one piece, and I am wondering if I can use a cold weld product like JB weld or something to put it back together. I certainly hope so, but I am concerned that when I try to torque the bolt it'll crack the sleeve again. Am I totally hosed, or is there a prayer? If hosed, where in the heck can I just find the cylinder(s)? Yamaha's site does not list the parts of the top end as separate, and since it's Sunday I can call them.

Thanks\Ron

I would say your hosed....Get a new cylinder

Check E-bay for someone listing one.If no luck...post back and Ill check with someone local here to see if they have one.

None on EBay, nor anywhere else I've looked. If you can find one, I'd appreciate a note back.

Thanks

Re: WR 500 cylinder

you my be able to check with local welding shop to see if it could be TIG welded back together. A good welder should be able to look at it and tell u if it will hold after the weld.
