Remember folks when you're assembling the clutch look at factory markings for clutch balance. Yellow dot on clutch housing etc. They should be spread apart by 120 degrees. Not sure if you done that on the video. Add a little bit of clutch grease on pressure plate as well and use proper centering tool, it's not expensive not like on video. Can't recommend your job to anyone but still fun to watch.
Just wondering if you checked the valve lash/clearance when reassembling the the engine? Also is there a reason you aren't using any assembly lube when reassembling? just a thought as it will help protect the engine when you go to start it up again for the first time, even just some oil on the cam journals/bearings will help reduce your chances of damage.
@@lvkascole95 the valve lash was check, that was one of the reasons for disassembling the engine. Can’t see it in the video, but I used when assembling it, plus I cranked the engine without the fuel pump, to let the oil go thru the oil passages before starting it.
@ if you used it that’s good, but my recommendation is to use more next time, if you can’t see it you’re probably not using enough, even cranking the engine without ignition can be damaging without enough lubrication. Maybe next time you’re doing an engine rebuild you can show the process of checking the valve clearances as a point of interest?
And adjusting valve clearances ? There is a trick. It is possible to grind the tappets to get correct valve clearance. Quick simple cheap. BTW use coolant for aluminum motors .
fun watch but grease on your collets to hold them in place, get all your dirty operations done before final assembly (eg tapping exhaust stud threads) and dont use so much loctite.
I dont understand why you would tear down the engine that far and not replace the timing chain and guides? I also would have sent the head out to a machine engine shop for cleaning up the head, the valves, guides and cams back in place? A complete valve job.
i liked it until you installed the chain.....what about timing? the cam sprockets were absolutely not aligned,....at first start all work will be for nothing and the pistons will bend your valves with some "nice" metallic bangs.....
Sorry for not showing the chain timing, couldn’t find the footage of it. No need for stress, the first start video is out here ua-cam.com/video/YlAVTLpcon8/v-deo.html , just needed to sort out vacuum leaks to run as good as here at the end: instagram.com/p/CVLd1kIFJzm/?
You can see from this video, this is a fantastic piece of engineering and high quality
Great videos! Im looking at getting one thats in pieces and this helps with where stuff goes and how to tear it down

Great skills, at the end it will be cool looking bike
Хорошее видео и очень полезное

@ will try to do so when an opportunity arises to show it again
Great video's! Which paint did you use for the engine block?
Hi, the paint I used - Rust-Oleum combiColor original, Matt black.
Sprayed it with a gun
@@restorationvalve thank you!
@@restorationvalveas a professional decorator, I agree, Rustolem is a fantastic product. Make sure you buy and use the correct thinners
And adjusting valve clearances ?
There is a trick. It is possible to grind the tappets to get correct valve clearance.

Hi, thank for the tip. Valve clearances were good when assembling the engine.
fun watch but grease on your collets to hold them in place, get all your dirty operations done before final assembly (eg tapping exhaust stud threads) and dont use so much loctite.
Did you need to use Loctite on any of the hardware? Curious
I’ve put on a little bit of blue ( mild strength) locktite on the brake rotor and calliper bolts, clutch retaining bolts and foot peg assembly bolts

didn't know that you don't have to install crankshafts by markings, simply plag n play...
