    Sizing question

    Will the round polished cam cover end caps from a 1981 GS1000L fit my 1978 GS750EC engine.
    Thanks for your answers!

          Yup, they're the same. Assuming it's a GS1000GL. But if it were chain drive, it would have a 16V engine and rectangular cam caps.

          When in doubt, compare the part numbers using your favorite fiche site.

              not so. There never was a 1000CC 16v motor except the Katana as far as I know. All the 1000 were 8v motors, with round caps, chain or shaft drive.

                  Huh. Never noticed that!

                  Oh well, I'll just stick the 850 questions, then...

                      the "round cam cover end caps" are all interchangable...

                      however, not all of them are polished
