    Not talking about the fins. Look at the second pic. Go almost staight down from between the plug boot and other wire. There's a shark-fin shaped piece missing from the cylinder sleeve!

    I'll attach another pic with an arrow to it.

      Rebuilding is one option. Consider a donor engine or a parts bike with a good engine.

        I have had to cut cylinders apart so I could get it all torn down. I hate to say it but "caveman style" is necessary in certain situations. Prying will ruin more parts by mutliating the gasket surfaces. You don't want to sacrifice crank/rods or the engine case due to frustration.

        try to save what you can.

        it is very very easy to mix-match engine parts.

          Get a hold of member chuck_hahn. He has a GS1000 engine for considerably less than buying a complete bike.
