    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...

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.

GS 450 engine question

Gs 450T (83)

I just found out that right cylinder has 0 compression. My mechanic says the engine will need a rebuild but he also said it would be cheaper to buy a used one off eBay. Looking at eBay I found a few but newer years, will I have a mounting issue? I also saw used cylinder/piston sets, would just replace them solve my problem?
 
What exactly was wrong?

A valve? Head gasket? Burnt piston?



I don't know many details, but you may want to look into using and/or retrofitting in pieces from a gs500 twin engine. I've heard that they are similar up until 93 or so (again don't qoute me on this, you'll want to check for yourself...)
