Another source for parts. These cylinder kits are excellent quality as well, every bit as good as the Gilardonis at a lower price. https://www.crustycycle.com/products/moto-guzzi-cylinder-complete-83mm-850t-t3-eldorado-850gt

+1 on Crusty, great service and fast shipping. I have s set of these on my '73 Eldo, easy fit with no issues.

Nice going on getting the cylinder sets!  Now pull that crank, check all the bearing fits, AND clean out the sludge trap!

If by the "sludge trap" you mean the pan and that cage thingy, I did that. Are you making me pull the engine for the crank check? Ughhhh....

The sludge trap is a cavity inside the rod journal of the crankshaft and is only accessible once the crank is removed.

What he said!

There's no point in pumping $$$ into a bike that most likely has a crank sludge trap full or darn near.   

Based on the condition of your top end I would bet it is full

You will pat yourself on the back later.
