Yes, of course we chatted after he received the cylinder head. As I could tell from a visual inspection, he verified the intake valves had significant valve recession. He also said CSC was contacting Zongshen regarding this issue. We arranged for the delivery of the replacement parts, et cetera. I rebuilt the engine, and I have not chatted with him again regarding this matter. With over 3,000 miles ridden since the repair, the engine is running great.

Soon I am going to purchase more items from Taobao. Among those items I am going to order a spare, empty cylinder head for 320 Yuan ($46.39 USD). As long as one is capable and willing to do the engine repairs, the replacement parts from China are very inexpensive. Here are two links to Taobao vendors selling the cylinder head.
