    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Smokes only once warmed up

If a GS450 smokes but only once warmed up. It would be a piston ring issue only or could the head be bad as well (valve guides)?


Reason I ask is that I would like to find a GS450 motor to mod and put in my gs400 (this is a long term project this year I am doing the susp?nsion mods) I want to swap the cylinders with GS500 cylinders, cams then drop it in there.

Anyway theres a gs450 for sale local to me for cheap but the seller claims it stars smokeing when its warm.
 
Well, your replacing the pistons rings and block so just throw some valve seals in the head and your good on both parts :)
