    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...)
