I bought a 82 cb750 not too long ago because I thought it would be a good investment. Owner told me it needed a new carb kit so I did that and the bike ran really tough. Note, this is the first bike I have ever owned and ever worked on. I did not check compression when buying it and after troubleshooting for days I decided to take it to a shop. They told me compression was low on all cylinders especially #4. They told me it was the valves and quoted me 1800-2500. At the same time I found a head on eBay for $60. The bike they pulled it from had 10k miles and it seemed like the smarter decision. I've been looking for for the gaskets for it but can't seem to find any for a good price. Also, is the process of removing and installing a new head difficult in any way. Like I said I've never worked on bikes before, but if there's a write up, I can do it
