[QUOTE="Silverado6x6, post: 87545, member: 3021"] I am totally new about the GL engine, my guess is the left side is cylinders front being 2, rear 4 and the right is front 1, rear 3. So worst cylinder is left front, number 2, it had intake open, exhaust closed, full of water for who knows how long, number 4 behind it had exhaust open so muffler is probably full of water. Looks like the radiator has to come out to remove the timing case cover. Just how difficult to actually remove engine? I took my cx500 out like a breeze to replace the stator and water pump seal. Matter of fact next weekend I am buying yet another 83 cx650, guy has rebuilt everything but when the shop told him he needs a stator he gave up, selling it to me for a fair price. Me I am not afraid to tear down engines but I hate big truck transmissions. God only knows how many engines I have rebuilt in over 40 years, plus the custom show cars I have built. What say you guys about powdercoating the frame? I have such a shop just down the road, says a bike frame stripped down is affordable to powder coat, and he can do wild colors. If I am restoring this babe might as well do her right? Just from what I see on this forum you guys really love your classic Goldwings. Just asking, believe me I can handle just about any problem, even if I have to sleeve a cylinder. This bike has a soul, I can feel it unlike my big Star 1300 Tourer, its rather sterile. [/QUOTE]
