Hi Yozzer,
Excellent café racer resto,
I have just stripped an F2 for the first time, the engine has the exact same indentation!
I have worked on dozens of 750k and F1 engines, never seen it before...

Yeah I asked carpy if it was a comon thing he said it was don't no if it's anything to worry about or how to fix
Bryanj:
Its where the top of the cushion is not held tight at the head gasket so it can float up and down a fraction meaning the steel pin wears the flat surface. Not a huge problem unless the indentation is deep, which i have seen. Check the top ears for wear as I have seen one where they broke off
yozzer74:
Will do the indentations are deep should I see about getting them welded up if that's possible
yozzer74:
Got my discs painted up and my yoke back from powder coating.I'm happy how it turned out.decided to go back to black with cam cover. thought I had too many different colours going on.with the engine .also took my frame to one off welding in Barnsley .he's making me an alloy oil tank
