    Keep on waffling Jim, you have so much knowledge to share! Anyone can pull an engine apart, but your dialogue is what makes your videos great! 👍

    I enjoy your talking. The little things that you point out are worth mentioning. They are what no one else mentions and should. I bought a 79 gs850g spring of 80 and still have it. One of my favorites. I really enjoy your videos! Don’t worry about talking, I love it!

    Hello Jim, Absolutely worth the wait. As Marty Niner wrote it's not waffling it's sharing your experience, I believe it adds to your videos. Very clever those Suzuki engineers making that extra bit of casting to ease separating the crankcase.

    I remember in the 1980s “motorcycle mechanics” magazine stripped down an engine from each of the big four to measure wear after about 35,000 miles. They were quite adamant that there was no discernible wear whatsoever in the Suzuki GS850 engine and hence Suzuki won. I’ve always loved the air cooled Suzuki fours, I had a GS550E which I regret selling more than any bike I can remember. I loved that magazine, but had to buy “bike” magazine to read the Orgi cartoon strip. People of my age will understand.

    Adore these older GS series plants for their robustness, and simplicity. Have wanted one of 850's for a time now, but they are getting rather scarce these days, especially if they aren't badly hammered up, or mangled a bit. Great instruction, with all the pertinent details, and the little surprises that await those confident enough to rip into one of these iconic power trains.

    I had this with the water in the bolt holes of the cam caps when I rebuild a Honda CBX engine. I found this very confusing, but I came to the conclusion, that the water must have been trapped there after the washing process when the head was manufactured decades ago. I had plenty of water sparkling out like champain out of nearly every hole of this 6-cylinder head. Captured on video on my channel...

      Apart from the gearbox output, lack if kickstart and the ignition it's pretty much identical to my 1977 GS750. Actually all the Suzuki 4 cylinder 8 valve engines are very similar - I know that 850 cylinders, pistons and head will fit on 750 crankcases

    Jim I took the sump of my gsxr 600 k3 this year to replace the gasket. There was a slight oil leak. Removing the remaining gasket that was stuck to the sump and the bottom of the engine was a nightmare. Is there anything you would suggest to make the job easier.Thanks in advance.Also I would pay money to come watch you strip down a engine to learn of you and would be more than happy to listen to your waffling ha.
