    Yes. I'm not sure exactly how to fix it, but yes it is possible. (Only in a 4 stroke though..)

    What's yer problem that you're having? More likely that you'd have a bent valve, in which case the head has to come off and the valve needs to be replaced. Bent valves are caused by overrevving or incorrect cam timing/timing chain skip.

    You say you had no compression, that could because one of your valves is stuck open. (check through the 50 pages of threads) I guarentee you sticky valve was metioned.

    So ----if it looked good, Mom wouldnt give you grief about keepin it????

    Get it runnin first----before spending cash on "UNNECESSARY-AREAS"
    Buy American! Unless your only option is a HARLEY.

    A customer walked in to my shop and Impatiently stated "My car doesnt start, Whats the problem?"I responded with a smile-"Yep that sounds like your problem alright"----

    Who is going to be pulling the head, if the valve is the problem?
    I would suggest having a mechanic do it.
    YTM heads are hard to work on, the rocker arm shafts get stuck in really good and they're impossible to get out how the manual says.
    I took mine to a cylinder head shop, they pulled the rocker shafts, replaced the valve seals and grinded the valve seats.
    Cost me $100 for the head work, they had to make a tool to be able to pull those shafts out. I think a head gasket is $27 or so.
