    Will 81 gs750e cylinder sleeves fit in a 83 gs750e jug

    Hi, I have a 816 weisco kit I bought (just pistons and rings) and they came with a 81 gs750e jug already bored. my bike is a 83 gs750e, I bought the items for the pistons, the jug was a bonus. Now I'm wondering if I can swap the sleeves in these two jugs to save on some machining costs since the 81 jug is already bored for my new pistons. Sure would appreciate feedback! Thanks , Helmut

    I doubt it will fit. Completely different engine. Also, the sleeves and block are color coded to selectively fit the sleeves to the cylinder bores for the proper fit.

    To measure is to know.

      OK,, 81 sleeves will not fit in a 85 700 cylinder so I'm sure they will not fit in a 83 750 cylinder. Everything about them is different, longer, not as big around. Longer didn't scare me too much because I have a lathe and believe I could have turned them down but being not as big around kills it! So.... If anyone ever gets the notion to try this, Don't bother!!!! It will not work. Thanks for your input everyone, I'll get back with you all soon to let you know how my project is coming. Helmut!
