Re: The Cadaver Project Thread
For some reason I thought the OEM water pump should be flimsy and plastic. This one is metal and robust. There is no free play - no movement at all in fact. Once I finish cleaning the outside of the engine I will open it up and figure out why the pistons are seized. If I can free up the pistons I will take another look at the water pump function.
But I was having trouble keeping the engine clean because of this guy - my best friend Moto the track dog:
Moto's job is to protect the bikes, and normally he does a really good job. But he cannot stop himself from urinating on this GL1000 engine. Every chance he can get he is lifting his leg to it. I discipline him and he knows he is wrong - he has that guilty dog look on his face - he just can't help himself. It must be the years of rodent urine built up on the engine. He can smell it underneath the WD40 and PBB - it's like a siren in his head constantly forcing him to pee right there on that engine that I have been trying to clean.
I have to keep him away from this engine. I need it clean so I can break it apart. My only option is to lock him in his cage all day (he hates doggie jail!) or move the engine into my kitchen where I can close the door and keep him away from it.
So I really hate to let the dog run the house or tell me what to do, but I couldn't stand keeping him in his cage all day. Besides, it is totally normal to have a GL1000 engine in your kitchen, isn't it?

Re: The Cadaver Project Thread
That is an OEM pump. But it is not metal. It is bakelite. When I restored my LTD it still had an original pump, very low miles, and no play. I took the chance on it. As soon as it was started coolant started puking out of the weep hole. So the trans cover had to come off and a new pump installed.Goldwingologist wrote:snip.....................For some reason I thought the OEM water pump should be flimsy and plastic.

Cool looking dog.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Great job cleaning the engine. It looks brand new now. Funny how Moto wants to put his mark on it.

Re: The Cadaver Project Thread
Thank you for catching that, Gord! This site is so helpful. I now have a new water pump on my list! I am also ordering a gasket for the front engine cover - that was not included in the gasket kit that I got. Thanks everyone.
Yeah, Moto is a good boy. And I like having this engine in my kitchen - it is growing on me. I have had a fascination with these engines for a while now but I never imagined there would be one sitting on my kitchen floor. It is right there every time I walk through my kitchen. Hello.
I took off the front cover and the inside was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be:
The belts practically crumbled to the touch in several places, though. And the heads looked like there was somehow a gasket failure on both sides. I can now see how bad the pistons are:
I am cleaning up the cylinders with WD40 and blue shop towels. And then every time I pass through the kitchen I stop and spray the four cylinders with WD40 and smash each of them with a hammer and a wooden block. I do this several times per hour whenever I am home. This cadaver cannot resist forever - sooner or later it will give up the ghost...

My '79 junker had enjoyed water on the crankcase side. Transmission gears were rusted. I salvaged a few parts and trashed the rest.

Unless you prefer its other name - polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride. So easy to pronounce. Rolls right off the tongue...bakelite… ah, the good old days!
