Remove the stock sleeves, bore the block for new sleeves, bore & hone new sleeves for new pistons, bore upper case half to clear new sleeves. Definitely NOT a bolt on but not a big deal either. GREAT gain in torque & power! Build them JAY!!!! Ray.

Sounds like a monster or beast plus. . . you certainly would have to have the crank welded as well to be reliable.

Just curious, but why do you need to sleeve the block when all these other aluminum block bikes are just coating the cylinders with one of these new, high speed coatings?

Wouldn't the bike run much cooler?

...or am I missing something.

Cylinders on those bikes are designed from the start to be plated, GS engines are designed to use sleeves. Might be possible to build a cylinder from scratch with plated cylinders in mind but even that might not work due to the way the cylinders fit down into the cases.

So my 7/10 could be a 7/12? Sounds scary!
Hmm...

Can I have it? How much?

[Gilmoses]

this very interesting, seeing I already have my motor apart. . .

[BadBillyB]

I really would like to sell the whole motor and not just part it out. Maybe one of you can buy it, keep the parts you want and sell the rest. I have.....

2V GS1000 big block
Chromoly cyl studs
Chromoly case studs
Forged MTC clutch basket w/straight cut gear
1-2-3 Auto transmission (5speed)
500/470 cams, plus some extras
Race ported (shaftie}head w 40mm/33mm titanium valves
40mm Lectron carbs
Dyna ignition w/msd
Wiseco 1238 kit 15:1 comp (gas ported)
5/8 offset sprocket
Air shifter
Complete rolling drag race chassis w/fiberglass tank (stock appearing)

Some one make a reasonable offer.......Billy

[doctorgonzo]

Total for machine work would be $314.00

If we do this, we would offer 1000 cylinder studs again.

Jay

I wish you'd offer 1000 valves again.

[blowerbike]
