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.
Tore Apart the 1000S Engine Tonight...
- Thread starter Nessism
- Start date
Russr33 and I have made a deal for the head and cams, they should make a nice addition to his own S.
In return I get a low mileage stock head which is perfect for my needs.
Cleaned up the cylinder and pistons only to notice one of the cylinder sleeves has a deep score line running vertically. Need to double check the pistons now but didn't notice anything wrong when cleaning them up.
Can anyone help me put a value on this damged big bore kit? The pistons are killer expensive - APE sells them for $679 + sleeves + boring, but obviously having a bad sleeve is very bad for resale value.

Drats!
I would have happily sent you my original '79 GS1000S head.
I guess you never got the PM or the online response.

Thanks for the offer Eric, and to all those that made offers, but I don't want a small port head. This bike is going back to stock so that means CV carbs and stock almost everything. Another thing people keep offering me is cylinders without the extra bolt in the front. It might be lame to want that, but that's what came on the bike so that's what I want.

Good stuff ED
Don't trade that stuff for stock parts. They'll be OK.

I don't know, but I suspect it was somewhat cantankerous. The starter clutch has a hard time dealing with the compression for one thing.
The guy that built the engine spent a LOT of money but I noticed one f-up today; all the intake shims were 2.15's - which is the thinnest available. The guy that installed the valves must not have had the cams so the clearance could be set. I shortened the valves by about .4mm in order to have some adjustment room. Kind of a pain - glad it's done.

Yea, can't see letting go of that crank in a bike I'm most likely going to flip, and that clutch hub is going in my S for sure.
I'm tempted to tear down my other S engine and install a few of these good parts. :clap:
