Honda Foreman TRX450s Timing Chain & Tensioner Installation

We are doing a timing chain replacement on a 2004 Honda Foreman TRX450s but also have to build one engine out of 2 engines
The valves had been adjusted while the head was on the bench! Check out our video showing how and why to adjust the valves before the head is put back on.

I thought the valve clearance should have been checked. I've never put anything on a head gasket, and the head gasket looked like a regular gasket. No copper, no aluminum? The video is pretty cool, but the audio is terrible. Neither one of you are mumbling, whatever camera you're using has a terrible audio system. The sound is not clear at all, maybe you should check into it, thank you for posting.

52:17 glue is there because it is a sleeve the piston is in and it can get oil leaks there and around the push rods. Someone had bored out this engine and then it arrived to us with a bad leak
53:14 that’s a metal gasket that was put on there (multilayered steel gasket)
Sound has since improved since then we didn’t have a microphone back then but had since added them!
Thanks for checking out the video and supporting our channel!

Do you feel it’s necessary to hoan the cylinder when installing new rings ? Or only if it’s got a rough surface?

[@MacCustoms]

We do a quick hoan when replacing the rings. Just enough to get the glaze off the cylinder and put a little cross hatch in it

[@forestbell3853]

@@MacCustoms do you ever hoan or would recommend one of those attachments that go on a drill ? Or machine shop only

[@MacCustoms]

@forestbell3853 I use the attachment that goes on the drill.

@Mac customs where did you get the tool to take the front gear off

[@MacCustoms]

@ashtonwood5685 I’m not sure where it came from it’s been something I’ve had forever. Might be something available on Amazon

You didn't adjust the values
