What bolts didn’t you upgrade and where did you order them from?
The black looks good |

But haven't installed them yet. I figured i'll just see how the stock go with just lock tight and keep checking them. I'll keep the new ones on hand if needed. I'm not going to be doing any stunts or wheels, easy riding . So i think it will be ok. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Bolt-...72.m2749.l2649 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/8mm-M8x1-25....c100005.m1851 |

Ok update on my Hellcat.
Seems to be running pretty good right now... after my cylinder head fiasco.(My fault...broke a intake bolt and ruined the hole trying to get it out.) I had to replace the head and adjusted valves and timing a few times. Rode it today easily got to 50 but didn't want to press it yet. Keep it around 25-45 for a hour. Definitely feels like it wants to do more. Seems to be running better the more i ride it. Current Mods. Muffler 17t front Uni airfilter Mikuni Carb 26mm intake fuel line/filter Painted Black FenderEliminator / Led rear turn signals New shift lever Some bolt upgraded or Loctite Grom Chain tensioner New ngk plug New cylinder head Last edited by Chinabike; 12-23-2018 at 03:40 PM. |

What bolt did you break that caused you to replace the whole head?

Your old head is fixable. Pick up aluminum welding rod at Harbor freight, Propane torch, fill in hole and drill and tap for bolt. Done this a few times on outboard motors before youtube was invented lol.

Thank for that video i was wondering how to do that. I might give it a shot some free day. But i don't know if it would be worth the time and money. I would have to buy a few tools and materials. New head was only $60 |

I had to swap the bolts that were on the old carb since they are shorter. Did you actually punch through the head or did you just rip the threads out?
