Dans 82 gs1100e engine rebuild.

[Paruckus]

Hi all.

So I got my hands on a gs1100e 1982 model Z for 200 bucks. I mainly bought it as a parts bike for my 1980 gs1100e. I thought I had scored big time because it had stainless 4into1 w super Trapp muff.

But check this out. It gets better. For shiggles I installed my working carbs and battery and the damn thing fired up. Unbelievable.

Checked compression. Not so lucky. 2 cylinders were considerably low so I'm guessing blown head gasket.

So I guess I'm gonna open her up.

Anyways heres some pics of the bike In the back of my truck.

how the heck do I put more than 1 pic down at a time?

Could just be tight valves. 82s were known to twist cranks (AMHIK...) Check that out too.....

check out this ugly looking holiday. Feels smooth any ideas what this is? A hot spot? I'm hoping a hone will tighten that right Up.

The game plan is to drop this engine into my 80 gs1100. I hope it'll fit.
