Setting the timing properly

[timebombprod]

Good thought, most GS750, GS1000, and GS1100 chain dr's were a pretty easy swap. And I think GS850 shaft to GS1000 shaft and GS1100 shafts would work. It'd be interesting to know about a swap from a GS650G to a GSX1100G eng., That would be a "HOOT"

I think it'll be much more manageable than getting these pistons to work, but I'm gonna go ahead and see it the whole way through.

Also, I found the kit for $60 on a website......I paid close to $200......the item is no longer available on their ebay so i cant leave a review.

Okay well I'm definitely going through with this kit, 1 and 4 are done but they are not done smoothly, will either smooth it out or weld some metal on them and refine to get a better shape. I actually found a method to this madness for 2 and 3 and they should come out alot better.

I even made a video for this kit as I will basically be a pioneer of getting this kit to work if somebody goes as far as I did without realizing that these pistons are definitely not meant for this bike without serious modifying.

just an update, i thought i was finshed the other day because i was able to get the right amount of clearance on all cylinders for there to be a mm of space between the piston and chamber at its closest point with the headgasket, but i put 20cc of water in the chambers and put the piston in place where it would be at TDC and plenty of water came out, so you literally have to take out all the meat you can lol.

ill have before and after pictures of the chambers showing how much had to be done. if the bike blows up (hopefully on the top end) ill either do some type of motor and/or drive swap or some type of top end swap/ modification that will be a lot better and not pushing tolerances so close. i also picked up another bike, there will be an update for that, not something most people in here might like, but i love it.
