After 30 years of not riding I purchased a 1981 Goldwing. I was told it would need a valve. It needs much more than that. I pulled the left head and found that the valve had broke. The block is ruined as well as the head. I used a sawzall to free the piston from the broken sleeve and casting. The motor turns over. I have purchased a 1984 GL1200 block for 50 dollars. Will the components from the 1100 fit in the 1200 block, I know that I will be purchasing new pistons as the bore is larger on the 1200. Its spacing, journal sizes, wrist pins, alignment, etc... that I dont know about.Has anyone done this before?Thank you
