        @AndyYam is the 4DL as good as the 3MB? I've just put on my third head gasket now (Athena gasket) and still have a leak so I'm guessing my 3bn is warped anyway 😞

            @Calum thanks Calum, think I will go for that if you reckon its a good buy? I really can't find much info on the web about putting a 4dl head on a 3mb00 DTR barrel? I assume it will be an improvement over the 3bn - especially if minesl is warped!

                Use a genuine Yamaha gasket when you put your new head on, a lot more money but it'll be worth it

                  The 4dl head sits on a 3mb barrel. Graham Bell says the head is where the majority of the power is made. Get that right and you can't go far wrong.

                  I have done many heads before and haven't had any problems with Athena. There is a tutorial on qhat you should do to prep the head and barrel using a sheet of glass and various grades of wet and dry paper. Do what I say in that turorial and it will seal.

                      I think i have 1-2 4DL heads sitting around in the garage. I'm away for a week in Wales as of monday. If i have time before then ill get photos up in the for sale section. If not it'll be when i get back.

                      What did that one on ebay go for? as a guide for price.

                        Will a 1989 3MB head fit the 3MB barrel of my 2000 dt?
