    Another question. Is there any internal difference between the motors put in the 500cc magna's vs the ones put in the zf500's? (ie cams, pistons, etc)

    I am rebuilding an '84 vf500 motor that ate a valve and I have a donor motor from an '84 magna from which I would like to use the heads and one piston.

    Am I going to run into problems here? Any "watch outs" or recommendations?

    Thanks for the help.

    The parts you want to use should work fine. There are some differences in the gearbox ratios between the F and C models.

    If I were you I'd get a new piston and valve(s). You can use the heads but I would not reuse any wearable parts.

    Lastly - don't forget all new valve springs. That's what caused you to drop the valve in the first place.
