Excellent! I'm a little embarrassed to tell you what I actually had in mind: "Start drinking. Heavily."
But I like yours better. Remember: it wasn't over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Thanks Rob.
As problem go, mine hardly compares to the hell you're going through. At least I can look at my bike. Get well soon, my friend.
I might just do both. Drink Heavily, and get going. I'm just completely gutted at the moment. Will probably start the tear down tomorrow. I've always told myself if I ever have to pull the engine, I might just do a full restoration down to the frame. We'll see. If the engine is too far gone, I may look for another 750 16v engine, or 1100 (I think I've read that it'll fit).

IIRC, it's actually quite a common conversion. Search for "7/11" (or seven eleven) and you should find several build threads.
Dang that's a bummer, & just when things seemed to be going great, but could be a blessing in the long run. Great time to get a good roller bearing crankshaft & rid of the plain bearing crankshaft of the 16V 750. If you can find a pretty good old 16V 1100 eng., "83" if possible, it should be a great upgrade. Plus an eng. change should be way easier than a complete eng tear-down & repair. I've had 2 8V GS1000's & it was a blessing, for both, when I got 16V GS1100 engs. onto them. Hate it for you, but just try to be optimistic. Good luck.

Yikes !
THe best thing you can/could do was to post about it here.
ANd let some of the knowledgeable gear heads see it. (I am not referring to myself.)
With their knowledge and your wrenching, a lot of good can happen.
YOur comment about cranking but sounding gutless, makes me think to ask if you have done anything to check compression? Either with a gauge, or the ol' thumb over most of the sparkplug hole trick.
