alright.  So as some of you know I had to replace the engine in my gs, now I have an extra engine in my garage... but what should I do with it..

it doesnt turn, a valve fell into the cylinder.

it still has a good starter, stator. it leaked a little when it ran but other than that it was fine.

If I were to rebuild it, is there anything performance minded I could change? bore the cylinders to 550? is it worth it...
or should I rebuild the head and get a GR650 engine?

right now its sitting in the corner....

If I had an extra engine, I would try the motoman high velocity porting with JB Weld trick.
