  • Although this is a relatively simple fix my hopes are that it can help some of you out.
    Recently came across a leaking head gasket on a Kawasaki H1 500 Triple. Took the time to show the process that I use to fix it.

    Most of the younger generation coming up will never know how simple 2 stroke motors are and the crazy power they make. Great video

      Agreed!
      That's partly why I made this video. As more of us younger generation are getting into these bikes I'm passing what little knowledge I have on.

    Love the tip on annealing the gaskets Pete. Nice demonstration of the materials engineering knowledge you have and how it translates to a higher quality rebuild.

    Did not know this about the gaskets. Did see they are softer after used. Thank you.

      I'm sure you could probably get a decent seal without annealing them.. but it definitely help sear them into the surface.

    Here's a old school tip for you Pete and your subscribers. Old school bus windows work excellent. I got my surface plate for free at a granite supply shop. Just asked the guy to buy a piece and he gave it to me for free. I don't do a lot of 2 smoke work these days, but look forward to your videos, excellent job.

    I think you're annealed too Pete. Because you're super relaxed bro

      If by annealed you mean, worked hard in fire to do the best job ever! Than yes..yes I am haha

    Hi do you have to anneal the new copper gaskets?

    • @PetesClassicCycle
      @PetesClassicCycle  Рік тому

      Yes you do. Once you do it you'll feel how much softer they get.
