[GS engine strip a go go]

It's very light and when I got into the crankcase there looked to be a piece of the same material which myself n Bluedog thought may fit onto the bottom of the long cam chain slipper.  Everything in there looks OK though. Nothing nasty

Would post a pic of the bit Bluedog n I found but can't pissing find it.

My phone camera is pretty shite really but all looks well with bottom end.

Now to get things to the polisher n decide what I'm actually doing. I am definitely painting motor black n know prep is key. Question is before I get to it do I try vapour blasting or do I d.i.y soda blast?

Anyone?

I've got a 32 mm. I'll put it and the big breaker bar in the car so text me during the day to remind me to drop it round.

PS, Remember to post pictures, we like pictures on here. 

Ok, cool.

I somehow managed to post twice n there's a picture on the other post.....D'oh!

I'm blaming the phone.

Well, 10 hours with parts washer n toothbrush. Not found anything too scary.

Though the sump did kinda worry me, strainer totally utterly rammed n a couple of crankcase lodgers!!! 

Anyone got any idea on the bit of ally? Fooked if I can see any webs/fins or similar broken. 

Gotta pick up a 32mm socket for clutch centre, then I can totally split the crank n maybe I'll see where it's from.

15 years on my mates bench n everything looks well up to now. 

I know what your thinking " how can all be well if they fell outta bottom of crank?". Yep that's what I thought but fingers crossed

Hey up all,

Just pick up my old GS block I had as a young un.

Have a frame in the pipeline. Forks and wheels planned out.

I know how scarce 1000 tanks are but can anyone steer me in the right direction for tank and bodywork please?
