    This is part one in our series where we go through a complete engine teardown and rebuild on a 2005 Honda CRF450R. The first part of this process starts with the disassembly of the top end, which is detailed here in this video. The steps shown here will be very similar for 2002-2008 Honda CRF450's. Stay tuned for this series to see the complete engine disassembly and rebuild process.

      @@DragonFury-gq5zo when I was younger I was helping my sisters boyfriend rebuild a Suzuki DRZ because it was burning oil and running horrible. When we were taking the bike apart there was something hanging out of the intake.. as we disassembled the engine there was a pair of woman’s tights/pantyhose or whatever they are called going through the air box into the intake tract and through one of the intake valves. It was being torn up in the cylinder and damaged a lot of parts. I was amazed that it ran with it like that but it was hilarious.
      I think someone had used it for an air filter as there was no air filter.. or they were cleaning it and put it in the intake to block it off and forgot about it lol

    For pretty regular road riding how many hours/miles are you guys rebuilding your engines?

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  9 місяців тому

      There are so many variables that come in to play when it comes to when your engine will need a rebuild. How often you change the oil, clean the air filter, where you ride and how you ride will have a major impact. It is not very common for people to ride these bikes on the road but you will likely be able to go quite a while if you aren't racing the bike or riding it hard. Many people can go 80-100+ hours before a rebuild. With that said, many manufacturers recommend a rebuild at 15 hours of hard racing use.

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  4 роки тому +3

      If you're really twisting the piston around in the cylinder a lot that could potentially happen but once you place the piston inside the only time the piston should be twisted is the small amount it takes to line up with connecting rod. So you shouldn't have to worry about that happening! Thank you for watching!

      .06mm On each side allows for plenty of 10w/30 circulation,that by the way is in need of changing every four hours riding time. Oil viscosity gets beat down quickly and trashed up by clutch fibers and aluminum specs from clutch basket's. Oil setting up in an engine at 33° for 120 days gets thicker & sticks to inner engine casings. Needs warming up a few starts without riding,then changes while warm. That's on unused oil in colder climates and actually in some warm. I take it that all Commenting in this group have done a 30/40 & 50 year test on quart sized oil types & seen how much stats in the can or plastic type bottle's?
