    I have vf500 fII '87 and valve dropped, broked piston and cylinder head. So is there any problems if I replace cylinder head using older head about '84? It's equipped with shorter cams. Head gasket seems to be same.

    Answerring to my own question. Older cams won't fit 'cause different lift. So you have to do some machining to '86-> cams 'cause those are longer and drill new oil holes to both ends.
