YS question for the list

[Bill Glaze]

John is correct in what he states.  Some time back I found that Y.S. only sells
the heads as a complete set; valves, springs, retainers, clips, etc.  for about
$130 +/-.
Lee's fix will set you up, but the header won't be centerline as it is probably
now.  If your setup can stand this situation, Clarence's fix is a good one
inasmuch as the bushing is bronze, and itself could be replaced if the threads
ever go away.  (I've not had that problem; bronze apparently having more
endurance than the aluminum.)
