cam caps problem

[mrxkenny]

so i have already posted this in another catagory bu thought i would ask a little broader, anyways i have a 05 rmz450 and the guy i bought it from overtightened the cam caps, anyways when i went to shim the valves it warped the intake cap and now it is tough to turn by hand and doesnt sound like it is getting a full kick cycle when trying to start it. anyways was wondering if there was possibly a way to fix this without buying a complete new cylinder head. i live in washington and am looking to get this fixed asap without spending 700 bucks. any help would be great.

Im not familiar with any fix besides buying new. I believe they cut the cam caps directly from the head so each cover is ever so slightly different and specific to the head which it came.

Heres a head kit on ebay.

To repair, the head is fully disassembled, a hone is gently run in the head to correct the imperfection. Then fully cleaned and reassembled. Easy job, just labor intensive.
