Looks like that oven cleaner got the best of my surfaces. Here you can see a picture of the pitting.... Order a new head or bring this to be machined and vapor blasted? I already have a soda blaster in the shop [emoji22][emoji22][emoji22][emoji22][emoji22][emoji22][emoji22] Sent from my iPhone...

Really? I'm so scared to blast the gasket surface from what I've read the surface seems to be an egg shell [emoji849] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have my CB350 down to nothing and was working on the valves last night. Had the great idea to clean the carbon out with oven cleaner before I removed the valves. After valve removal the anodized layer has vanished from my gasket surfaces leaving me with bare aluminum. Is this garbage now...
