Heres the one I got, the only part that makes me iffy is the wear mark on the rocker arm, and the burned oil look in the bottom of the head. Does this look majorly concerning? I plan on checking the journals with a bore gauge. Whats the process for emery cloth and cleaning everything up? Is there a grit...

Wild update, just found out that the eiger 400 has a head that is interchangable with the dr350. Much more available on the market and FAR cheaper. https://samkchou.wordpress.com/2020/05/03/dr350-top-end-rebuild-with-ei… And then heres a complete head and cam, rockers, cap, valves, everything for $400, this is just one example among a ton of complete heads like this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276963905659?_skw=eiger+400+cylinder+head&itmm…

Yeah, the rockers were pretty worn. But the new head came with all new-to-me everything besides the cam, so im good there. Would the lobe wear cause problems? If I cleaned them up good, its not like it needs to fit like the cam in the journals, just be a clean enough surface right?

Howdy, this is my first time here, was having trouble with other forums and people being unhelpful given my circumstances I got an 1996 dr350se with an engine that appears to have been oil starved, got myself a new head for it and am working on saving money for the rest of the parts. Slow process But this is the...
