2 GS750 engines

[exdirtbiker]

Hello again folks... I've been away for quite a while.

Yesterday, 2 orphans followed me home. All I did was give 'em a pat on the head...
2 GS750 engines. chain drive, of course.
One has a kicker, and it kicks over as expected. I then jumped the starter, and it spins nicely. This is the "good" motor.

The other one, I was was told, "is locked up". I noticed the valve cover had one bolt, and was on backwards.
under the cover, I found some surface rust on some of the cam lobes. Is that recoverable??? ( I still have a spare set of cams from my GS1000)
I hosed everything in a light oil, and pulled off the left side cover. When I turned the crank, it was just a lil stiff at first, then spins as expected, so it's not locked. But I would considered it a "parts motor" until proven otherwise.

I do not have any carbs, or ignition source, to see if they will pop. Actually, I don't own any bike anymore. :-(
I can do a compression check on the good one, if needed.

Is there any market for a complete 750 motor? Any interest ? I'm not looking for much $.

I'm in central NJ, can deliver up to Rt 22 / Union no charge.

Can this be saved?

That looks like fairly heavy rust. I'd remove the cam without turning the engine over further, so you can soak it in evaporust. With the rust removed, then you can make a proper damage assessment. Or, just sell it as a parts engine, as you mentioned.
