I found a GSR bottom end that sucked up water and blew the motor. I think it was just the first cylinder thats messed up, theres a big whole on the side of it. Right now its sitting outside and has been rained on and everything. I was just wondering if there was anything I can recover from this block??

 

I guess if it's still in a good condition.

If it's that bad then i would consider you hot tank it then bore and resleeve it!!

Hey can't let a GSR block go to waste...

hm...hole. Dont think its good if there is a hole in the block.

 

would the oil squirters be any good???

 

where is the whole? is it like a small whole in the sleeve or is it like through the outside of the block?

My guess- hydrolock, bent rod and piston went through sleeve. Verdict: take the block to a machine shop, get it checked out and see if its salvageable (crank, resleeving, etc.) still good, send it out to Golden Eagle and get it redone (that will cost some $).
I mean- verdict: Block is crap, sell it to me for cheap And if you don't feel like dealing with all that to get it fixed PM me I might be interested.
