Hey Spicy I’m currently rebuilding the same engine as my con rod snapped I have all the replacement parts and currently cleaning all the parts as I’ve completely dismantled it, any advice for when I put it back together?
Watching this video really makes me think how far we as humans have advanced in the last couple centuries. How we as a race have managed to design and create a complex machine such as an engine blows my mind.
Got to say you explained that really well. Did not know how simple an engine and its surrounding components really are. Of course they are an engineering feat in themselves but now I am gona get an old motorcycle and take it apart to have some fun. Thanks for your effort that you put into this video.
As we were watching this I was **trying* to explain about how an Engine actually works, she loved it, a bit confused but she got the gist :-) I went through the points you showed, paused to explain and moved on! Big Thumbs mate!!
I’ve been watching quite a few videos trying to understand engines because they interest me a ton, and this helped me out a bunch. My family is really into cars and motorcycles and I needed to learn! Thank you 🙏
Bit of a lurker, but long time vlogger follower; just wanted to say thanks for this, needed the visualisation of the engine's process. Appreciate your having made and uploaded this mate!
spicy110 Yeah no problem. Subscribed just because of your cheerful attitude and great voice. And your teaching of simple fundamentals of an engine. lol, Don't pay attention to some of the haters on here, you're doing a great job, keep it up. Hope to see more vids from you. :) By the way thanks for your time on splitting the cases in half, for everyone to see. Some people don't understand the amount of work it takes to make a video like this.
spicy110 "suck, squeeze, bang, blow". remeber this with your Chinese motorcycle youll have it in bits more than you have it on the road mate lol also your head residue looks choclatey , its fine , sooty and stuff is a problem , colour of the mixture on the plug and head and depostits can tell you a LOT :) sounds like aminor problem but it can cause melted plugs , overheating and even warp the head if the mix is wrong and you keep on riding hot , depends witch way its leaning , rich or lean
I've watched so many videos (contemplating buying a rebuild bike) and this has been the first real one that his made me truly understand appreciate the time you took to make this thanks.
i know about engines a lot (car engine) but never seen a bike engine taken apart it looks so easy the same as a cer engine the basics are the same. You did a very good job keep up the good work :)
I have to say I really did enjoy this video. It may not been super technical but it was fun to hear you explain how a engine works. Great work my hat off to you sir.
Nice video! Surprisingly helpful. I've known the principles for a long time but it's nice to have someone with the thing in peices literally going through it all peice by peice.
Hey man, just wanted to know that you've done an ace job of this! You didn't make it sound complicated yet you gave a good explanation of everything. Thanks for the video I am massively greatfull lol!
Thanks mate that helped a lot. I'm going to be picking up a WR450f and converting it too a sumo, and really wanted to understand exactly how an engine works. Still going to do some more research but you've given me a good base idea. I want to pick up and old bike engine and dissemble it and get hands on to fully get my head around it. Cheers!
My first bike after passing my test was an RD400. Blew it up, (obviously), knowing absolutely nothing, just armed with a Haynes manual and decent tool kit, stripped it down on my bedroom floor. Learned so much about how an engine works and goes together. If you can (ignore the complaints of your mum/girlfriend/wife) lay a sheet down and in a clean dry enviroment, even a large, "complicated" engine is manageable. Just be methodical and these days, take digital photos of each stage. There's no great mystery. (plus, if you're a bit of a nerd, its a better passtime than train spotting)
seriously, Im going to start MMI soon and this helped me ALOT. especially abput the valves and clutch assembly, thank you so much for the time you put into this. Cheers!
nice! I will soon begin to learn motorcycle mechanics and hopefully become a mechanic and designer. Your videos teach a lot about how motorcycles work. I don't know anything about mechanics, honestly,(I'm a design student) but with these videos I'll have a better understanding of everything for when I begin sort of "studying" mechanics. Thank you, greetings from Mexico(soon Canada).
man thankyou this really helped me, I only had a very basic understanding of bike engines, you have improved this so much, very easy to understand ride safe!
Im just starting college now abd learning motor vehicle mechanics, and i understand about the four stroke cycle of: induction- compression- power and exhaust and what they mean, but i still need to revise a lot of stuff, great video Spicy, it has helped me as an overview of what i am currently learning from a book :D
PERFECT explanation, thank you so much. Im going to work as a mechanic"s assistant at a motorcycle garage, and need some base knowledge about how it all works, and this explains a massive amount of what I THINK I need to know, so thanks a bunch, very understandable. :) :)
Its been a year since you posted this comment, and i was curious as to how it was being an assistant at a motorcycle garage? Do you enjoy it? I too wanted to work at a motorcycle mechanic shop. So i was wondering if you could give some insight about it. Thanks in advance.
Awesome! Thanks! I imagine putting vent plugs in the air box, changing the front sprocket from a 14T to a 13T and installing a complete FMF pipe and exhaust will also increase my performance. So many possibilities out there! Thanks again!
Great video man! I'm going to school for motorcycle mechanics atm you did a great job on explaining the basics of how everything works props to you for wanting to learn it :D, never stop learning and ride safe!
Awesome little quick how-to spicy! . That thing you didn't know the name of that happened to the piston is blow-by, some amount is always expected, especially with forced induction where you have high effective compression ratios and loose fitting rings to deal with the heat, though excessive blow-by is obviously a problem. . The other thing in the left cover is the pick-up for the CDI box - ignition timing. Not sure if your bike has TCI or CDI but either way needs reference for spark timing.
Awesome video. Very clear and concise, I learned a lot. Engines kind of felt like black magic, but after seeing this I have a sense of how it all comes together and, as expected, it's a logical and cohesive system and is comprehensible. Thanks for taking the time, I loved it!
Excellent. Awesome to see how all the pieces can fit together. Just like a work of art (heart). Really informative and seems like you have a real knowledge of bikes.
Very helpful video, thank you! Even though I understood the basics, seeing all the components broken out like this has given me a great head start. Much appreciated!
Good stuff man. I'm looking into getting my first motorcycle n' just wanted to see how hard it'd be to repair, and I've gotta say, this video has eased my mind a lot.
Good job, very straight forward. The difference between a car engine and a bike engine is very small, especially the transmission. I think it's mad how thick a bike clutch is though, only ever seen clutches that chunky on very high performance vehicles, is it because a bike clutch is always kind of engaged?
I was trying hard to understand everything you said but to me, as a non-native speaker, your spoken English (is it Australian or British?) is the hardest to figure out (of all I've ever heard native speakers speak) so far. Well, it might be Irish, as I heard you say "side" as "soid" (11:48). CMIIW. Whoops, I almost forgot to say your explanation is second to none though. Thanks!
is it smoking on acceleration or when off the throttle you may need valve stem seals, requires the valves out so you may aswell replace the valves while your at it.. it could be the bore is glazed did you hone it when it was out? this will ensure a good seal (providing the bore is not too warn)
Honestly this is just what I needed. Im a car mechanic if you want to call me that. I build engines and work on cars from my house. I wanted to build a cross kart and I need to use a motorcycle engine that's chain driven but I know nothing about these engines and I was confused if the trans was attached or not to the engine itself. Thanks
Oh really i was wondering.. i actually thought a engine was a hammer untill you told me that.. thanks for clearing things up. may you live long and prosper
3:41 That's the gasket there right the black bit, looks like a bit of sealant wouldn't be a bad thing or isn't sealant needed for X Y Z reasons on a bike? Also is it air cooled or water cooled? I'm leaning towards air cooled but aren't sure XD
I have a 1984 KDX250 dirt bike and right now it's not working because I need a Generator Rotor. However, I would love to remove that whole engine and install another engine that will fit and match the KDX body. Would I be able to do that? Far as getting another rotor looks like major stores don't have them at all anymore. So getting another engine from another bike and year may be the best thing I should do.
Thank very much dude ... This was a very well done kindred spirit explanation of the insides.... I needed this very much... I can't Thank you enough ... Good job
also spicey, how old in k's/miles was that engine? also please post a high res pic of the valves showing how far in the head they have warn (receded into the seat) This is important as it can determine or help determine how much work your motor can do in your current bike (if its a similar engine) or even uses the same valves and springs it all varies though
nope I'm right i told you about the exhaust valve the fact its big because it needs to push out allot of gasses and the inlet is actually smaller which helps force in the air and fuel mixture into the cylinder better. i do mechanics and ive seen and know the differences
Will you link me if i do a in detail how a motorcycle engine works (4stroke and 2stroke) including the gearbox? ill make it good quality and simple, and indepth after that
Thank you for this vid, i have an old xr80 in my basement as well as a small pw50 that i would like to get working again, with this info i have the foundation to at least take most of it apart!
I have a CRF250L and there is a 305cc bore kit for it. Would it be hard to install the bore kit and would I have to have to take the engine out to do this or is it possible to install the bore kit with the engine still on the frame? Or would it be worth installing the kit at all for it?
Thanks man u did a great job explaining about this engine, I recently got an engine like this one have to do some service work on it,and hadn't for this video would of never know if and how to find the oil filter, thanks again
Thank you! Not sure if this is something I could do myself or not. I am not mechanically inclined and may just have my local Honda dealer do it for me. But do you think it would be worth it? I probably won't buy the kit until next year any way. I hate when things look easy until I try doing the work myself.
you would of thought so but your wrong, it is the exhaust valve that's bigger and the inlet that is smaller. the exhaust valve has allot of gasses that need to escape and in only 1 stroke so it needs the larger space to escape
hello i have a engine problem with mine i have a honda 200m 3 wheeler same engine looks everything my engine smokes blue from the oil and i changed my piston rings seals gaskets and clinder i dont know what is wrong with it can you tell me please oil is not cheap...
and with the Air / fuel mixture being forced in it creates a better explosion causing more power and the inlet doesn't need to be massive because not allot of fuel needs to go in per cycle
Hi spicy i need to access my clutch on the same engine as you have and i tried to just take the side cover off but it wont budge is there anything im missing?
Had to give you a bit of grace with your way of elaborating and filming from your bike helmet haha, but overall bro, it was very informative!! Hard to come by a video of someone dismantling the motor down to the niddy-griddy and explaining. Cheers mate,
The bike is fuel injected, so does that help me a bit? My main question is would be is it worth the extra 55cc from a 250cc to a 305cc? The bore kit is a little over $500.00. BTW, I enjoyed this video! Thank you for uploading!
need to change the left crank case as mine is pretty tatty does it just slip off after undoing the 8 or so 10ml bolts? or do i have to do anything with the big nut in the centre?
No that is just a opening to the crank nut so you can find tdc without taking the case off. Just remember if you replace the engine case you must replace the gasket too.
As someone who has been properly trained to take apart and put together aircraft engines, I will say you should be confident in your skills to work on these types of engines.. If you do the proper research into how to do whatever specific task (like changing a piston or cams), you will be able to do the same quality work as a proper mechanic(it will just take longer).
THANKYOU! i sort of under stand the CAM now but could anyone tell me how to do this when i crank my bike over it dosnt have alot of compression,whats happening is the air is getting pushed out the engine and threw the carb and out of the air filter?? anyone know how i could ajust this?? please
inlet valve problem. could be not timed right, could be not sitting in the valve seat properly, could be anything.. it needs to be looked at by a professional too see what is wrong
Thanks dude, can’t get my Sinnis running , it’s got fuel,air,spark but just won’t start , sounds like it wants to when bumped but still no luck , any suggestions:)??
You are so stinking funny. ^.^ Engines are not as complicated as they sound, but you did a great job explaining it and I did indeed learn and re-learn a few things. :) The humor had me entertained as well haha!
hahaha bro your so funny but you get to the point lol your like "well usually u dont use the cam to remove the head" and then after all that struggle u were like "that was easy"😂😂 i like died hahahah but thanks for the video it was really well explained
Great vid Spicy! I literally had no idea about the engine I have in my bike (Honda CBR 125) until now. At least if I break it I might have some idea of what's gone wrong :P
i know its not my question but i cant help myself.. By the figures listed on my search you go from 17hp to 24 thats a gain of 7 hp and alot of torque have you ever ridden a 6hp brigs and stratton gokart? imagine that +your current engine the torque figures will jump alot also i did a similar thing with my pitbike, from 14 hp to about 20 and it has totally transformed my ride +maintenance (may not be much of a issue with the honda) i have also felt the difference or +3mm in a bore its massive
"like an alternator" isn't that exactly what it is? An alternator? I've always thought that whole magnet + coil thing that generates electricity was called an alternator. Thanks for the vid, so good! You got some balls pulling that thing apart, I'd worry it would never go back together for me. PS: I also learnt that its a rocker cover not a rocket cover haha!
a good way to learn how this works is to buy a 'Haynes Build Your Own V8 Engine' TOY Engine model...you can buy it for 20 - 30 pounds...I saw this video before but building the toy model definetly taught me well, then I came back to this Spicy110 video and it was much better

Hey Spicy I’m currently rebuilding the same engine as my con rod snapped I have all the replacement parts and currently cleaning all the parts as I’ve completely dismantled it, any advice for when I put it back together?
I'm a mechanic and I must say, that was class! Top lad. I know all this but I really enjoyed watching. 👍
Thank you! :-)
The lost Yorkshire man is appreciative of a good student! :)
Lol liked in the first 11 seconds because I realized he was going to do this video with his helmet on at a bench!
Hero material!
wonderful explanation without confusing technical terms those which ordinary people hates. you done a great job mate. thanks for your time and effort.
Thank you!
Very well summarized for a beginner to understand. Cheeky and witty too so we don't fall asleep. Well done.
I've watched this like 10 times easily the best guide I've seen on youtube
Watching this video really makes me think how far we as humans have advanced in the last couple centuries. How we as a race have managed to design and create a complex machine such as an engine blows my mind.
"safety first" always wear a helmet to work on an engine rofl
Lmaaooo

That's what I want; an old engine to take apart and learn with. Great explanations. You're a natural!
As we were watching this I was **trying* to explain about how an Engine actually works, she loved it, a bit confused but she got the gist :-)
I went through the points you showed, paused to explain and moved on!
Big Thumbs mate!!
One of the best interesting parts of it is you open up everything part of the engine and I understand it fully.
I was looking on the internet a way to start looking into motorcycle engines and this video taught me exactly what i needed to start. THANKS!

Good job, very straight forward. The difference between a car engine and a bike engine is very small, especially the transmission. I think it's mad how thick a bike clutch is though, only ever seen clutches that chunky on very high performance vehicles, is it because a bike clutch is always kind of engaged?
btw that cover you took off it not the valve timeing its the tapets. and you set it to a set space between the tapets
Just learned alot more about engines... Thank you!
Interesting, you explained it pretty well I am more familiar with 2 strokes though, I haven't messed with the valves or cam chain on a 4 stroke
I was trying hard to understand everything you said but to me, as a non-native speaker, your spoken English (is it Australian or British?) is the hardest to figure out (of all I've ever heard native speakers speak) so far.

I love it. It does pretty well considering I am probably too heavy for it. There are a lot of after market stuff you can get for it.
is it smoking on acceleration or when off the throttle
you may need valve stem seals, requires the valves out so you may aswell replace the valves while your at it..
it could be the bore is glazed did you hone it when it was out? this will ensure a good seal (providing the bore is not too warn)

the lumps are cam lobes, the rocker arms are on the valve train (looks like there rocking when the engine is running)

hello i have a engine problem with mine i have a honda 200m 3 wheeler same engine looks everything my engine smokes blue from the oil and i changed my piston rings seals gaskets and clinder i dont know what is wrong with it can you tell me please oil is not cheap...
The possibilities are always endless its the money that holds me back :) i would love to just make my own motor all billet and custom
and with the Air / fuel mixture being forced in it creates a better explosion causing more power and the inlet doesn't need to be massive because not allot of fuel needs to go in per cycle
madaszac is right the intake vavle is bigger then the exhaust because its harder to pull air in than push it out
Hi spicy i need to access my clutch on the same engine as you have and i tried to just take the side cover off but it wont budge is there anything im missing?
Yet it's the seal holding it on it sticks hard. I had to tap might with a rubber mallet. Not sure if that is advised tho!
What oil would you suggest to use?
Love the visual on the clutch, that's a great help. Thank you!
+Robbie Hontelé happy to help
would have been great at the end if you said now how do you put this back togethere i only know how to take it apart.
Had to give you a bit of grace with your way of elaborating and filming from your bike helmet haha, but overall bro, it was very informative!! Hard to come by a video of someone dismantling the motor down to the niddy-griddy and explaining. Cheers mate,
The bike is fuel injected, so does that help me a bit? My main question is would be is it worth the extra 55cc from a 250cc to a 305cc? The bore kit is a little over $500.00. BTW, I enjoyed this video! Thank you for uploading!
and the 4 stages of an engine is Intake, compression, combustion and exhaust. if you were wondering
Your side-comments are hysterical! The constant swearing at the engine definitely gave me a decent chuckle.

Might try and put a Pulse adrenaline engine in my old two stroke CZ as i cant stand Two strokes for a street bike.
need to change the left crank case as mine is pretty tatty does it just slip off after undoing the 8 or so 10ml bolts? or do i have to do anything with the big nut in the centre?
No that is just a opening to the crank nut so you can find tdc without taking the case off. Just remember if you replace the engine case you must replace the gasket too.
spicy110 cheers bud does it hold a fat lot of oil or is worth draining first?
got another question too lol I wanna change my front engine bracket you recon the top engine brackets will hold the weight of the engine to change it?

Maaan you are better than professionals 😀
As someone who has been properly trained to take apart and put together aircraft engines, I will say you should be confident in your skills to work on these types of engines.. If you do the proper research into how to do whatever specific task (like changing a piston or cams), you will be able to do the same quality work as a proper mechanic(it will just take longer).
THANKYOU! i sort of under stand the CAM now but could anyone tell me how to do this
when i crank my bike over it dosnt have alot of compression,whats happening is the air is getting pushed out the engine and threw the carb and out of the air filter?? anyone know how i could ajust this?? please
inlet valve problem. could be not timed right, could be not sitting in the valve seat properly, could be anything.. it needs to be looked at by a professional too see what is wrong
Thanks dude, can’t get my Sinnis running , it’s got fuel,air,spark but just won’t start , sounds like it wants to when bumped but still no luck , any suggestions:)??
compression... check your exhaust valve lash?
curator23 I’m not sure what that is or how to do it ?
curator23 cheers for the vid I’ll give it a go when I get some free time :)
You are so stinking funny. ^.^ Engines are not as complicated as they sound, but you did a great job explaining it and I did indeed learn and re-learn a few things. :) The humor had me entertained as well haha!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! :-)
nah, the intake is always larger.
because its harder to draw in fuel and air than it is to push out exhaust gas
hahaha bro your so funny but you get to the point lol your like "well usually u dont use the cam to remove the head" and then after all that struggle u were like "that was easy"😂😂 i like died hahahah but thanks for the video it was really well explained
Haha thanks dude glad you enjoyed it
missed this one mate top video all respect to you I get it to that stage now where did that bit come from
Great vid Spicy! I literally had no idea about the engine I have in my bike (Honda CBR 125) until now. At least if I break it I might have some idea of what's gone wrong :P
i know its not my question but i cant help myself..
By the figures listed on my search you go from 17hp to 24 thats a gain of 7 hp and alot of torque have you ever ridden a 6hp brigs and stratton gokart? imagine that +your current engine the torque figures will jump alot also
i did a similar thing with my pitbike, from 14 hp to about 20 and it has totally transformed my ride +maintenance (may not be much of a issue with the honda) i have also felt the difference or +3mm in a bore its massive
"like an alternator" isn't that exactly what it is? An alternator? I've always thought that whole magnet + coil thing that generates electricity was called an alternator. Thanks for the vid, so good! You got some balls pulling that thing apart, I'd worry it would never go back together for me.
PS: I also learnt that its a rocker cover not a rocket cover haha!
hi there.. can i ask for the links or the books where you have read all of these? coz i also learn by reading... super thanks... nice vid
its all from experience not books..
low how many bearing use and is size every one
a good way to learn how this works is to buy a 'Haynes Build Your Own V8 Engine' TOY Engine model...you can buy it for 20 - 30 pounds...I saw this video before but building the toy model definetly taught me well, then I came back to this Spicy110 video and it was much better
Best of luck getting that back together!!
