So...i have a 91 katana 600 that i blew second gear in a while back, ended up buying a new used engine and they said it was a 91 katana 600 engine. I went to do a valve adjustment and it was shim type so i looked up the number on the engine and its a 92. Is there anyway i could take the valves off my old engine and put it on the new one so i dont have to deal with the shims?

Easiest thing to do is swap heads as long as the cam chains are the same type. I Dont know if you can just swap in the cams and rockers.1989 GSXF 750 Katana.

Just run it as shim, you may have to adjust 10-20,000 mile from the adjustment point. Not a big deal"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."

I always thought all Katanas were shim type. Hm. Either way, stick with the shim type.My build thread (Black Betty) '97 600 (Dearly Departed)

First thing I would look at is if the sprockets on the cams are different between the types. If they are the same, I can't think of another reason why swapping heads would not work. You may need to answer this question for us.

Granted, first time took significantly longer but once you get it the first time, it's easy afterwards.1998 Katana 750

I replaced the one on my 1100, which only had ~12000 miles on it. The spring was horribly out of spec. Side by side with the new spring, there was at least a full centimeter difference.
If you can pull the carbs, you're 90% of the way to replacing the spring.1998 Katana 750

You'll need a new gasket between the cylinders and the head if you swap the heads.
Some of the bolts that join them are likely going to be problematic. Take your time, don't rush it. Always seems to help1998 Katana 750
