@@asmrdragon7131 oh wow - that’s awesome didn’t realise you liked this stuff but yeah if you’ve got a cossie lump you’re playing with that makes sense - you’ll have to keep me posted on that (had a 3 door whale tale years ago - loved it
Magnesium oxide. It's a lot more reactive than aluminium. Just add water. Get to the bottom of the corrosion with a dremel SS wire brush, the cup shape work well. Tungsten ball burr are a bit aggressive but good on rusty steel. Small Diamond ball are also good.
@@theodavies8754 that’s good to know - and now that I do I can dig that out and paint it in episode ten (that’s next weeks job for me - this Friday it’s a bit of reassembly and measurements- I have to edit it over the next few days but I’ll now be thinking about the oxide while I’m away at work 😊 thanks for the information
I’d like a T/Shirt with “Do it yourself Dave’s #1 Fan” Big Rich. Please !! Great video mate, Interested in what mods you can do with the centre balancing crank ?
@@richardbrown9363 so the lead crank is the one that drives the balancer shaft - but later models it was driven from the rear (apparently it made it smoother) during reassembly it’s possible to rearrange this however you have to be quite careful otherwise you’ll upset the timing (front and rear banks actually fire 2.5 degrees of advanced timing differential which is important for reliability and if you’re not careful you’ll send the timing the wrong way and you’ll burnout your pistons) anyways it’s a lot of risk for not much gain - in addition there’s some that do adjustments for race engines- again not a lot of real world gain for the risk on an old road bike - we may have a play with the second bike and do some porting etc and get it on the rolling road but this one she’s just going to be a reliable base bike - which we can of course then compare how they both ride
Bit ahead but I'm assuming the rebuild kit has piston rings. I'd be fine with keeping the pistons, but not fitting new rings wouldn't make sense. I'm halfway through restoring a 1999 HD FXDL TC88 and reinventing spending. Terrible image quality short of it on my channel.
@@theodavies8754 yep agree completely - in the next episode (9) you see my son measuring everything to see what condition everything is in - depending on what’s serviceable it could be as little as a new set of rings all the way up to crank rebuilds (don’t want to give the game away 😊)

@DoItYourselfDaveOJ well have rebuild the engine once..
Att the moment to much other stuff..company and forest property Thx for answer
The white powder looks like the equivalent to rust on steel but it’s white on alloys from corrosion.

I’ll get Adam to elaborate on this subject and more tomorrow- he’s been on the case for a few years with his bike and k owns a lot more than I do 👍

But love the “reinventing spending” - that tickled me 😂
