    help with gs 1000 engine build

    I am fairly good with mechanical things, I do most of my own work, but have never rebuilt a complete engine before.
    I had a broken bolt in the rear, one of those long ones.
    had to split the cases go get it out...
    now it's time to pit it back together with new seals and gaskets, I have been putting it off hoping that the little elves would finish it for me, no luck...
    I just dont want to bugger it up and end up with oil leaks.
    any advise?
    which oil seals go where? all different sizes none are labeled.

    Thanks

    Welcome.

    download a factory service manual from BikeCliffs Website and read the top 10 newbie mistakes thread, both linked in my signature.

    Buy OEM seals and gaskets from a dealer or online parts warehouse. I like partshark.com lately. Post questions as you go in the appropriate sub forum, after using the search function to find answers first, of course.

      So, I'm finally getting ready to put her back together.
      the book says to put the transmission gears in neutral...
      I have messed with them for awhile can't seem to find neutral by moving the gear cogs back and forth.
      any suggestions?
