GS1100G looking to get more grunt/power

[Anonymous]

I'm new to this forum and i've been doing a lot of reading within it 8O
I own a stock gs1100g 1982 and I want to give it more grunt/power, I can remember reading in one article somewhere that it may be possible to fit a gs/gsx1100e or 1150e 16 valve head on to my block, is this right and would it be a straight swap over job,(refitting of exhaust/carbs/etc) also would it be helpful in what i'm trying to do.
I'm also thinking of doing a big bore but as yet not decided on what size.

Any info on this would be helpful.

The cylinder stud spacing is different between the 8 valve motor and the 16 valve motor, if I'm not mistaken. Seems like I tried this Mike J

The 1100G is no slouch A big bore kit would be the way to go if you must.
Check with Wiseco If the motor runs fine I would leave it alone. Make sure the jetting is correct, slot & degree the cams 106 deg seems to be the setting everyone wants. Just fine tune it.

You say to slot & degree the cams 106 deg, just to make it more clear for me does this mean that the exhaust open timeing is 106 deg after TDC and inlet close timeing is 106 deg before TDC.

Thanks Colin
