What year 750 ? It makes a difference.....Both variants are found via that link though.

Which does it need, valve clearance or a complete rebuild?

A lot of new guys can't tell the difference until they take it all apart and find it's all brand new inside..

I have 3 GS's. One needs a complete rebuild the other one has toasted valves, i believe judging by the compression numbers.

So which do you have...8 valve or 16 valve?

So, what is the difference between knowing which option is needed?

My second "T" is totally INOP (Inoperable) and I have no idea when the last time the engine ran. If the engine turns when I use the 19mm wrench under the ignition cover, does this mean I have nothing to worry about and skip an engine rebuild?

I need to understand what qualifies to do an engine rebuild. If I don't need to take the engine apart, I'm good with that.

Thanks for your insight.

I have the 16 valve. Just by turning the engine you will get a relative idea if the compression is decent. It should be pretty hard to turn. Mine spins pretty easily thus i know, and after doing a compression test, 75psi in 2 cylinders.
