Yup, broke, actually bent but still... I tried to put a slant head on a regular 80cc block and it would have worked too except those damn headbolts didn't have enough threaded area for it and I screwed it up...

I need replacements soon, asap, you get the point.

Ones with more thread would be GREAT too! Then I can use my slant head I bought...

Get some threaded rod or "all thread" and make some.

it doesn't need to be a special type? Just regular good ol' threaded rod?

Just match up the old thread. You only need 12-15 foot pounds of torque on them, grade 5 will be sufficient.

Well, its all back together now. Runs good, no loss of compression, sweet...
