    What to do about the cylinder head

    Ok , Its an 82 gs650g. I have been dissassembling the engine to figure out the damages after i bought it for dirt cheap from a buddy.
    So far, I need for sure a cam cover, and a cyclinder head.
    The cam chain broke(needs replacing too) which caused the failure of the bike during a ride of ours. Now, this chain breakage put a hole in the cylinder head behind the intake cam gear, and there are several rusted-in bolts in the head that are used to hold the cam cover on. I am definitly replacing it because i dont feel like drilling out the bolts. i just dont feel like fooling with that specifically.
    soooooo. If i get a new or used cyclinder head and cover, do i need to get matching internal bits with them? Like new stuff with the new cylinder head? and mated used bits with the used cylinder head fom the same used motor?
    If i were to buy all used, what price would i be expectign to pay?
    Anyone wanna hook a brother up? lmao!
    Thanks in advance guys.

    The caps that hold the cam down on the head need to go with the head. Not really much else that really has to.

      play your cards right and you may find an engine cheaper than messing with your own.
      maybe 50.00-200.00 bucks.
      broke cam chain= complete disassembly/reassembly...
      woooohoooooooo!

        And likely needs eight valves replaced, four pistons, and some other expensive sh:t depending on where the chain ended up.

          thats what im fearing. I havent got that far down into it yet. The tear down is half educational process, half exploratory surgery. Sooo basically if by some miracle the bottom end goodies are still intact ill be ok. if I buy a cylinder head, ill need the matching caps from said donor, right?

            wheretf?

            OK, I'm about to go to the point of no return. I'm going to split the case and get down to the nitty gritty. My main question is, where can I get a gasket for the case? I've looked literally everywhere I can think of.
            Im in search of two small pieces of the cam chain that went awol after it broke. Does anyone know where I can find the gasket? Any tips on splitting the case would be appreciated as well; like things to look out for etc.

              There is no gasket for the case, you use Threebond 1207B sealer on the 2 case halves. Ray.

                    You can usually find a couple of pry points around the case where you can pry them open. Be sure and check that all the bolts are out, since bike manufacturers like to hide one or two "gotchas" that will prevent splitting the cases. We want pics of the carnage, of course.

                      Only if he does a LOT of re-engineering.

                      The 650G is a shaft-drive bike, the 750 is a chain.

                          carnage!

                          ok fooled you. i had several pictures from various stages of the tear down, but i accidentally deleted them. its now down to the actual moment of takign out the case bolts, and splitting it open. Good news, I found the small pieces of awol cam chain that went missing. they are still sitting there since i noticed them as i was calling it a day last i worked on it. whoopty doo.

                              nevermind

                              I did a little searching. You can get the suzuki equivalent on suzukis website for $18 usd a tube. If anyone knows a better deal, inform the masses, be useful.
