    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

I assume..

That a 16v head won't work on a 79 750-850? and if so, is there any gain? furthermore, what said head be worth? A gearhead I work with says he has one. I'm looking at bumping my 750 to an 850. In the process I'll be pondering valve work, seals, ect. Looking ahead, as this will be done over, :-#yes it's going to come, winter. Just want to know what might work, what won't work, differences between heads, valves, pros and cons. At any rate. not a need be done, but my compression test has #3 at 95psi. Hey if I'm going in, go big, and I have found a possible buy for the top end.
 
Hi,

I've heard that you can drop a set of 850 jugs/pistons onto your 750 without too much difficulty. The 16v head won't work.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I did it, 28 years ago. ;)

ONLY from the 79 850...the 80 and on 850s require some grinding to the cases, a switch from VMs to BSs and yadda yadda yadda..

That issue is under question. :confused: Are there any marking to identify it? If so I can take a look and let you know.

First, what colour is it. Silver or black? Silver will be a pre 82 something, black would be 83 and up. Second, what does the valve cover look like?? Is it pretty rough with a lot of bolts kinda like yours, or is it real smooth with only a few large hex head flat bolts in it?? Really, the only way for US to tell is if you take a picture. Either way, it WONT EVER fit without SERIOUS (and pointless at that point) modification. Hey, anything can be MADE to fit if you have enough time and money. But, again, it would be easier, and probably far cheaper to buy an 16v 1100 motor, and shove it into your frame, and make THAT work than making a 16v head work on an 8v block. come to think of it...you'd probably find it easier to shove a WRX motor in your frame than to do that....:-s:lol:
