Ok most people do not realize you have a Rotrex Roadster and possibly other goodies like maybe pistons and cams (maybe from a certain man in a tin shed ?). If they knew that or other important information their post might be a little different.

Oh and your one of two Rockets I've seen with the steering damper on the throttle body side. Thought I'd point that out for a few who've been interested in that item.

Oh, yeah, unless your engine has already been worked on, but even if, probably still more

SSShhh! Don't tell anyone ! Was just kidding around I'm sorry for that. I think I got a funny (heart)medication from my doctor cheering me up.

Being in the Netherlands... shipping a head 1000's of miles might be expensive.


Absolutely it is expensive. (+ Greedy dutch customs )And there is a lot of deep water between Europe and the US.

I’m not familiar with what your doing exactly.....but to your question, if your not getting a good clean seat by lapping I’d say you either have a slightly bent valve or a bad/worn seat. Check it with some layout dye (sharpies work in a pinch). See where the valve is contacting the seat, and you’ll have your answer.

You could send your head to a pro and have a full valve job done.....

Right, its very expensive,also because of greedy dutch customs.

I did this valvejob already some times before without issues. But meanwhile the issue has been solved, I 'hammered' with a light tap onto the valvesurfaces,(from about a 0,40 " above the seat) and the leaking was gone I'm a believer again !
