[QUOTE="Sun, post: 65266, member: 143"] I poked around on a few forums and read about straightening out head pipes by filling them with water and putting them in the freezer. I noticed fewer posts from people with titanium pipes, but with success regardless. I though this could be a reference for those of you interested in knowing if you can straighten out a titanium head pipe with a dent like mine. Some think my dent is too big. Some say the titanium is so hard it wont budge. Some say it will work just fine. Some say fill it completely and cap the ends, some say tape the ends, some say leave them open and fill it with water just above the dent. Some say it can crack welds. Some say it takes a few sessions in the freezer. I decided to fill it just above the dent and leave then ends open. I just put it in the freezer a few minutes ago. So I will report back and let you know.
