New to the GS can someone give me a little advice

[rocz]

ok a lil chub going on here...
GS in a GSXR!!!!!
very cool!


lets get past my excitement for a minute

i believe your crank snout is the 80-82 small diameter and that your alt. rotor has spun on the crank till the crank has shrunk up and the alt. rotor has enlarged.
the reason i say this is because when this happens the large crank nut becomes finger tight.
when you tighten it up the entire starter clutch assembly locks up and becomes direct drive (no free wheeling)(sometime locks starter motor also).
this is just a guess because of the work i see done to your engine(big block).
if this is the case there is only a couple options...
let see what you find out when the alt. rotor is removed.

Man i hope your wrong but who knows the starter clutch "seams" to be working properly now it will freewheel and when i tried spinning it over with a screwdriver it felt like it was trying to turn the motor over. It is suppose to be a fresh motor and when I had the plugs out of it the top of the pistons looked nice and new, but that doesn't mean it wasn't junk when it was put together.

If you can see the top of the pistons you will either see flat pistons with slight indentations for the valves (normal compression) or deep pockets for the valves with a rise in the center of the piston (high compression)
