I am slowly turning the corner on the tear down and reconstruction of my lovely K100 and I have a few questions for you all. I don't quite know how I got so lucky but I managed to get an engine and transmission for $100. I spent slightly more on gas to run out and get it. It was built in the fall of 1984, a few months before mine. Were the black covers an option? My own K came with the unpainted covers and I have swapped them.
The red O-ring came out of the engine in two places. The black O-ring is from the gasket and seal kit I purchased from Moto-Bins. Are they the same? And finally, the grommet also came in the gasket kit but I haven't found it yet on the engine. Where should it go?
Thankfully it snowed a little here again this morning so I don't feel so terrible about not being back on the road. I really underestimated how much time would be spent cleaning parts......
