Cylinder head/rocker cover XL 500

[peteseagull]

Hi,

I managed to break a small piece where one of the bolts goes through when removing the cylinder head/rocker cover on my 1984 XL 500r.
Can anyone tell me if or where I can get this repaired or do you anywhere/anyone who might have one.
I have been offered a FT500 engine but I am not sure if this part is the same. (something about de-compression lever)
Thanks

Pete

I used an FT head an rocker cover on an XL. The casting for the decompressor is the same so I had it machined and fitted the XL500 decompressor lever.
