    That would be a heck of a setup in a lathe to prevent any cylinder runout!

    I think this is an amazing method. He has a jig that matches the case. The case is (should be) square with the crank. This is a very accurate way to ensure a concentric bore. I knew a machinist who used this method and attested that he has seen runout from a factory cylinder greater than 15 thou. You can even hear the runout just melting away lol. Kudos.

    I notice you aren't using torque plates when boring. Just wondering if you ever see blowby or other ring sealing issues with this method? I know H-D says to use them in the manual but I haven't seen much of a difference in measurements between a cylinder with or without the torque plates.

    That boring bar would do serious damage for sure but it looks out of place . Did you come up with it diy ? Wonder how much torque it can handle with larger diameters ? Or do you get a lot of spring regardless due to the length ? Interrupted cutting a problem ?

    @bsatom The base of the cylinder is chucked and perfect, it's the zoom focusing in and out. This isn't his first camping trip. Ignore the pulsing noise, that's a false positive assessment.

    When the cylinders are honed I put them in my torque plates. I leave about 0,25mm (.010") for finish honing. This is easier then with my KwikWay boring bar, it's too large and cumbersom to bore these cylinders, at the end of the day we both get the same results.

    • @gjames57

    I have a question: I have an ancient Triumph and I want to bore it out just a little (.20'' pistons are available) to clean it out due to some minor rust damage. Is boring it out lightly perfectly safe for a bone stock engine? It has 1000 original miles and the "guts" still had plenty of oil when I found it - but there is some surface rust in the sleeve. I freed up the pistons and now it turns over by hand. I'm guessing that the rod bearings can be left alone too?

    hey, nice vid, i'm having trouble here, i just bought a buell xb 12, harley engine, last owner had a crash and header cracked, the stud bolts on the valve head aparently broke off and were eyeball redrilled, now the holes are angled, that is why the header was installed with bolts instead of studs because they don't line up. taking close inspection there is still stud left in the holes, i was thinking on mill it with an long endmill but the heat sink vanes are to close to one hole...

  • @smk11111

    i did use a victoria milling machine with a vertical head, this was good for 4 bores, ie car engines. but also for single bores. i held the thing down with a ring i made. much safer than holding on what u have. also, with a back plate with a hole to allow the block to sit on and 4 bolts pulling it on. oh, i also made pistons as well. easy when u know how

  • @rodgeranderson4922
    @rodgeranderson4922 3 роки тому +1

    I would have thought that the cylinder would have to be bored in a "as installed" situation. That is being held by torque plates as the cylinder would distort when it is installed.

      I don't know about HD but work as a design engineer for another well-known motorcycle brand. Maybe there are engine designs that are more sensitive but none of our production is machined under pre-load. All things in industry are produced with tolerances on form, nothing will ever be perfect and it doesn't need to be for function. It's actually quite likely they get a better cylindricity than what we accept for production. People like to geek out about all sorts of things (maybe to sound more important?) but theories are irrelevant - If these guys are confident in their service and customers are happy with it there's no need for nagging.

  • @215alessio
    @215alessio 12 років тому

    Hy, thanks for the reply I am not a novice. I know for every new boring you need the right oversize piston with his rings.
    I just was arguing about the original outer layer of a cylinder is hardened by the factory and once you bore too much you get on the softer (untreated) material.
    I don't know what HD says about the max bore...
    Anyway what are the results? do you feel it has more torque?

    in a cilinder, isn't it a fact that only the outer layer of the cylinder is hardened? Therefor the deeper you bore the softer it gets. Or am I wrong?

  • @KOZMOuvBORG

    You have get an oversize piston from an authorized or after-market supplier. Only worked on 70/80's Japanese bikes (no offense intended, a bike is a bike is a bike) but the principle is the same. Pistons 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 & 1.0 mm over-sized were available. This guy's going up over 3 mm (3.75 to 3.875 in. huge).

    Theres alot of guys hating in here. Saying excessive run out, why no torque plate ect.
    He has a centering jig in the lathe, it has a few grub screws to lock it in and he used 2 what looks to be head studs to lock it down. And he most likely used a dial indicator to make sure its true to make sure he has no run out.
    Why would he use a torque plate? Hes not taking enough material off in a single pass to distort the cylinder or untrue it while cutting. And with the jig he had its not going to let the cylinder shift mid cut so again why would he need a torque plate?
    Ive taken engine a few bore sizes over with nothing but a listle boring hone and sandpaper. Its a 4stone adjustable hone made for boring cylinders and it requires nothing but a half inch drill and some micrometers.

    So many people sit here and don't even really watch closely......they just assume is wobbles....If you look closely the camera is constantly trying to focus on the rotating block......It is NOT the machine or block itself wobbling, but just the camera constantly refocusing.

    Hi. You remind me my job. It was nearly 8 years ago. It was exactly the same what you do. The same equipment. But, I left 0,07-0,09 mm for the honing. All this process from boring to honing takes 15-35 min. Nice job, but boring for me.

  • @mossturn01
    @mossturn01 9 років тому

    Why is the lathe going backwards and taking the cut at the rear ? I've bored many motorcycle and stationary engine cylinders conventionally in a big Dean Smith and Grace lathe made in 1936 and never had a problem with concentricity or finish. And, judging by the comments I've read, there are few engineers out there.

    • @DieselRamcharger
      @DieselRamcharger 9 років тому

      +mossturn01 So you can see whats going on. When you run the lathe the other way, you can't easily see the cutter contact point. Spin in reverse and move the cutter to the other side you can keep an eye on it without leaning over the spinning machine.

    @tsw199756 6 років тому +2

    .015 left in to hone? Why so much? I've bored hundreds of motorcycle cylinders and only leave .001 - .003 for honing. Generally just the piston to cylinder wall clearance is all that is honed. Honing huge amounts tends to taper the bore plus is very time consuming.
