I read the Low Cost / High Performance GS1100E Head work and it's interesting bot I'm ignorant on the subject.
Not sure how to lay out the information but here it goes.
My GS is possessed! Last year I change the crank, new OEM head gasket, cleand carb and synced was working perfectly I was amazed how well it ran. But this year all hell broke loose. It's stuttering from the get go through all rev range. I once again cleand the carbs and it still does it. Yesterday, my first long ride of the year, it started to leak oil between cyl 2 and 3. not a small leak.. droplets. My valves are now leaking. I know of at least one which gives a silent fart like sound, one in a while, form carb 4 and I suspect carb 2. This bike it really putting my patience, determination and wallet to the test. I have checked the clearance 3 time and I am more then confident they are perfect.
Which brings me back to the valves. I read that lapping valves is total crap. A properly cut valve and seat is the way to go and I bereave it.
I am very tight on $$ right now and need to carefully plan this out. I am confident I can fix the oil leak, again!
What I ultimately want it to get this bike back on the road asap.
- Should I just get a valves and seat job? What is an estimate?
- Should I get a proper head job including: Cost estimate
porting: found one on ebay for 195$, ) I dont have the tools to do it might be a viable purchas.
Brass seat including radius cut using a Serdi.
( Valves : cost of stainless Kibblewhite Black Diamonds vs new cuts ?)
Intake 28mm valves.
Exhaust 23mm valves.
New guides
New seals.
Cams:Recommendations?
I'm in Montreal and would prefer a local shop but I would be more then willing to send it off to one of the local GSResources gurus preferably in Canada.
Can I use the above with stock pistons and carb?
I plan to get 1066 pistons later on and Yoshi carbs.
Come to think of it after typing all of the above maybe I should just get the valves and seats done and enjoy the rest of the season.
