I recently bought a 1985 V35 Imola. It's a lovely little bike and I was quite surprised how well it goes for a 350 4 stroke. I'm doing a light restoration and discovered that it has 4v heads, which explains why it goes so well. However I have read that there may have been a design flaw with these 4v heads and they have a tendency to drop exhaust valves. It has only done 9k miles and runs perfectly...at the moment. Does anyone have any experience with these small block 4v motors? TIA.
 
Hi Devo33, fun little machine. I moved your post here to the small block section. Photos are helpful. This isn't an ignorant social media site. We have tons of collective info on most all models.
