Hi, since SRH14914 is finally on the road now I figured I needed a new project and last week bought SRH15705 to get back on the road. The PO told me that she had 'cut out' and then refused to start, however after filling the empty radiator and discovering coolant pouring from a hole in the exhaust, I suspect they have possibly been a bit economical with the truth! Anyway, I wanted a project so a project I have. Today we removed the A bank head and discovered some damage as seen in the attached photo. The cylinder was full of coolant too, hence it had run into the exhaust. There also seems to be a bent valve on A4 for some reason and its unclear if this is related to the other damage. I am guessing that the engine over heated and the head lifted enough for combustion to burn through, but I wondered if anyone else has encountered this type of damage please? I'm going to need a replacement head, so I also wondered if I need one specific to a Shadow 1 or whether a Shadow 2 head will fit? Thanks, Dylan
