I had a bolt come loose on the head cover casting and now it is cracked. Cracked good. 2002 FE400e. Question: I maybe cannot buy just a cover because of the cam bore, but can the cover be welded up and align-bored as a repair option? I haven't heard of this problem yet here at UHE, but you guys best check your valve cover bolts! Any assistance on a course of action here would be greatly appreciated. Dale, I'm gonna PM you if you are reading this since you are intimately familiar with these top ends. Thanks everyone, BD I had a bolt come loose on the head cover casting and now it is cracked.

Hi Brad,
It is possible to obtain just the rocker cover though it will likely be a long time coming. Repair is indeed a viable option providing damage is not too extensive.
Perhaps you could send me a picture file of the rocker cover?
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Dale

Said failure cost Husaberg an ISDE finish a couple of years ago.

Thanks Dale. I'll take a picture tonight and get it off to you. I would think it possible to clamp it down well to a flat surface and simply weld it up and follow up with a good stress relieve of the weld. A bit of extra external metal along the crack might be a good thing! Brad (BD)
