This will mean I can get the head of and replace / repair at my leisure. There is a decent welding place not far from here, so I guess they may be able to do it :-)

I pick the bike up on saturday, so I will know more then !
Offer of help still stands - we should be able to swap the motors in an afternoon.

Still think there would be less work if you ride the 87 and sort out yours - then turf the 87

Then re-drill and tap the head.
+1, Way cheaper than a new head. May even do it on the bike if there is room.
