Hey, guys. Thanks for the advise.
I think I'm not gonna attempt a rebuild. It sounds like a bigger project than I'm willing to get into right now. If it was my garage and I had a vacation, I might give it a shot. As it is, I've got a runner '86, another GS500, and I don't really need another Connie right now.
I do have SiSF's
over flowtubes (now!), so I guess they'll go in my runner '86. I've also got his cams and 2MM, but I was hoping to pile all that into a freshly rebuilt engine.
As the hydrolocked '91 is a good looking carcus, I suppose I'll offer it as a parts bike and cut my losses. I'm guessing even a pretty, older parts bike like this isn't worth more than $600 or so. Damn shame.
(BTW, For some reason, I was thinking I could drop an oil pan off the bottom and pull the head, and just replace the rod from the underside.)
