    Nice repair, I’d drop the oil again after a few miles just to help flush it out.

    Silver smooth hammerite aresol spray to paint over the weld just to finish it off after taking so much effort to fix it?

      I'm pretty sure the insurance company would have wanted to replace the whole crank case

      @iwishcolincampbell1541 20 годин тому

      You may have to .these cases are made of old engine cases and the quality of the cast is pretty poor .I have welded them before and you need to get some with patience and the skill to repair it . By the way I'm not offering 😂

    Notes, any engine work always cover anything exposed that leads into the heart of the engine. Even blue roll or rags in the passage ways.
    The swarf no matter how well you clean it will end up doing the rounds through the engine, once it's in there, it's in there. I junked a 2019 engine for this reason.
    The failure points on these are typically the big end and any engine with fine particulate contamination - these will get scratched up.
    Next time, bag it and use a good painters tape to cover the exposed areas. He could have brazed that no issue with the stator cover on or that whole area covered. It would have burned or deformed the cover but it would have prevented contamination.
    The braze will hold up absolutely fine though, no need to frame mount the side stand, just don't sit on the bike with it down or twist the bike on it
    Been an interesting watch, especially syphoning oil out the sump...Jesus ahaha😅
    You're getting there though.

    • @AshRowland
      @AshRowland  19 годин тому

      Thanks mate, you're right, I definitely should have protected it a bit better, I didn't realise it would be that messy to be honest... what's done is done though 😊

    • @zenzeypher
      @zenzeypher 19 годин тому

      @AshRowland aye mate it is. Lesson learned aye. Even if you get 200 miles out of it, it'll be worth it. Man that doesn't make mistakes never does any work.
      Getting there though aye.
      Fucking syphoning with a line had me in stitches.
      Use pro4 oil it, great for hard wearing engines. Be sure to check the drain bolt for swarf.
      So close

    How much was the repair?

  • @Wayne1977
    @Wayne1977 19 годин тому

    Ash, You should've removed the engine and had that welded up properly and off of the bike. Is there any splatter inside the sump now? Did you remove the ECU before welding?
    Did the oil drain during the crash and was the engine running? It could be seized up or worse.

    • @AshRowland
      @AshRowland  18 годин тому

      As far as I'm aware the engine wasn't running as I suspect the bike was hit whilst parked on the side stand and it snapped off, taking a part of the engine with it

    • @vincebartlett1939
      @vincebartlett1939 18 годин тому

      Presuming this will have been TIG welded, the chance of spatter would be very low I'd have thought. I'd be more concerned the milky oil being the result of head gasket failures.

  • @paulf2898

  • @kepamurray1845

    Most normal people would have pulled the drain plug out of the water pump housing. 😂
    You should have pulled that strainer out to drain the oil. Personal opinion.
    Make sure you change the brake and clutch fluid. Those clutch slave cylinders rot out badly from rotten fluid.

    • @AshRowland
      @AshRowland  19 годин тому

      I did remove the strainer in the end, you'll see in the next video... the water hoses had to come off anyway to remove the alternator cover 😉
