Great video, $1330 is a pretty good price for a full engine rebuild 👍 I did a top end on my 300 tpi last year, including rebuilding the power valve and that cost me near $700.
Was $700 just for the parts? Or labour included? I rebuilt the top end on a friends 2019 300exc the other day, including rebuilding the power valve, I’m not sure how much the kit from TSP was, but I think it only took us 3-4hours. Most of that time was cleaning & scrubbing the carbon off the power valve. Not sure how much he paid for the kit but $700 sounds like a lot for the o-rings, gaskets & piston
That was just parts, I did the work myself, it was a full piston kit, inc gaskets, etc, bolts washers' for the top plate, gaskets for the PV, and Orings, bushes for the PV rebuild. Came to between $600-700 all in. Welcome to Australia, the land of getting ripped off. @@jackkellybuilds
Thank you! It is nice being able to do it myself, but it comes from necessity, otherwise I would not be able to afford a mechanic to rebuild it for me haha
You are welcome Jack, having bikes you really do learn some valuable skills, both my sons rode and both can do all their own maintenance as well as their cars. I was really interested in your RMX video, I have owned 2 , great bike (for their time)

Man just want to tell you congratulations for the incredible work you did with your motor. And atm since I was considering to buy a brand new 350 4T I am actually wondering to go for a new 2T just because of the simplicity of the motor in cases like this. 1330AUD because you did everything, otherwise a job like that much probably would scale for something like 3000AUD. I love 4T but this issues are a big deal to be considered. Thank you for sharing and for the great videos you make.
Excellent video, does anyone know if the lower part of the engine of the Gas Gas EC 250 is the same or similar to the Gas Gas EC 350? Like the gearbox, clutch, etc.? Thanks

An engine is such a complex piece of machinery....blows my mind how people can come up with such wizardry
Enjoying your channel. I have just bought an Orange 350 and learning a lot from your mods and builds. Thanks for sharing
Great job building your engine, you are lucky to have those skills, saved yourself a lot of money, plus you know its right, good job!

This video gonna save people a lot time och headache. Thanks! :)

Should be the exact same, only difference on those engines should be piston and cylinder size
Do you think a lanyard strap that cuts the engine would have saved your engine when you drowned it
Potentially
Big flat zip ties make great ring compressors ;-)
Good tip, I might try that next time. Thank you
Where did you purchase the metal oil pump gears from?
Great step by step assembly.
From my ktm dealer, they’re just the gears from the 2023 model, I have a video on my channel about it with the part numbers
@@jackkellybuilds I believe the oilpump gears on the left side are also available in steel. You didnt do those on purpose?
@@nivero5038 the other oil pump gears don’t have a history of failure like the one I replaced as far as I’m aware
Well done! What engine stand is it?
It’s from MXstore, “Ballards” brand
Do you have a lot of experience rebuilding engines or are there good manuals and resources to guide you through it?
I’ve built a couple of engines but the factory workshop manual was a great help
13:17 😂

Another great video ❤
