1983 GS1100ES Engine Rebuild.

Thanks for taking time to document your progress. A lower end can be a project killer for sure. I am in the middle of a top end job on my gs1000sz right now and enjoy every minute of free time working at my own speed trying to do the best job I can. Nice work and keep the pics and story going.

Great job on the rebuild niclpnut!! Sorry if i missed it, but was the crack in the engine case the cause of your whining problem?

I replaced the cases, and developed the whining post rebuild. Came to find out after the second tear down, that i had a bad main bearing on the crank, which was the cause of the whining.

Nic, did you get another crank or are you going to have that one rebuilt? John Pearson does good work & won't bend you over in the process.

I had another crank I used. I'll probably be sending 2 others to pearsons in the next couple months.
