Post here if you have the new trailbikes head.



Also, post if you have had the bent valve problem. I am wondering how common it is, especially since I just bought this kit.

I have the new head and I have had no problems with the valves.


that's good to hear.



My buddy installed his, got one race out of it, and the intake valve actually BROKE off and stuck to the piston.



Currently, I am skeptical about these heads.

Talkin' 110 or 50 head?



I have the old 50 head ported by Ray at RJP, runs great.

I have the new TB head. I installed it with the 88 p/c about 1 month ago. I just pulled it to put on the 117 P/C and noticed that the piston had hit the valve. It had dents in the top of the piston. The valve looked fine. I figured what the hell I will go ahead and throw the 117 in anyway. I have ridden it twice with no problems. I will tear it down soon to see if this piston has hit. I don't know if the valve was sticking or what. I hadn't heard of any problems with this head yet.



Anybody know what the problem could be?

no problems w/ mine, started out 88 then went to 117. no problems at all. built a total of eight motors for my friends, all using the tb 88rh kit. none of them have problems. pulled three apart for maint and found no problems. could the valve problem be caused by the valves not being adjusted properly or the cam gear off?
