1982 GS1100 GK Engine Over Haul

[the1pig]

OK so this winter I an going to over Haul the engine. I was looking at this package:

https://www.partsnmore.com/cat_index.php?model=gs&category=engine

Part#18-0173 38 piece $66.00


What I am not sure of is it has everything in it I will need as far as gaskets seals ect. goes.

Or does any one else have a better place to shop. for Overhaul Kits.

Is there something I should keep in mind when I attempt this. I have the book and this forum so I don't imagine I cant get this accomplished. I never have worked on a motor cycle before but I am a shad tree mechanic I understand just enough to get me into trouble. But how else do we learn?

Any advise would be appreciated.

That set should be fine, looks like Vehrisa set... Some say to only use the Oem gaskets ??? Your choice

Looks like Athena to me...often considered to be lower quality than OE and Vesrah. That said, an OE gasket kit costs something like three times as much money and some people have reported spoty results with Vesrah. Hard to make a solid recommendation on this one.

that set should be good enough for most gaskets/seals
once you have the engine open and the set open if you have any doubts (and that is likely to happen only with the head gasket), or if you are a gasket or two short in that "set", you can order oem parts
