gs1100e Performance Rebuild

[gsjordan]

I am in the process of rebuilding the motor from my 83 gs1100e. Story can be seen here http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=203764

I just finished disassembly and the list of mods i found was:

Vhr o42 cam
Porting by superbike mike eng.
Yoshimura 1135 pistons

i have a few questions. Any idea where i can get a set of rings for these pistons? how do i determine if the rocker wear is enough to have APE hardweld them? Are the timing chains replaceable without splitting the cases? If i dry block and use a top end oiler can i get away without a base gasket to bump up compression if i have enough valve
clearance?

I plan to do: valve job, springs, ape studs/nuts/tensioner, cam chain, hone, gs750 oil pump gears, and top end oiler. See any problems here? Anything i should include?

I was waiting on Ray to post. You should take Ray up on his offer if you want to do it right.
