Some of the main bearings are dry as in set into the casings? As in cant be changed? Ad in need new crancases if bearings are shot? I have another engine that was in my vulcan when i got it. Very loud bottom end noise. I was advized by an old dog get another engine

Are you going to change any bearings while your in there?

Niceone man i got some dampers off an old engine i realigned my dmper wieght to the shaft. The punch mark on the shaft is even smaller than the one on the wieght but i found them so yes it does have to be timed to the shaft as well as the flywheel. Now i have no harmonic vibration wrecking the bike. Ive done all the vn750 mods trialled and errored. Im nearly 6 months in n the vulcan now and finally have it going good🤞 it nearly finished me and the missus but worth it now i love the bike😂🎉

Hi David, it coming on well the engine rebuild, your doing a great job and it's a skilled job and you got it in hand. Great video mate, catch you soon take care

Hi David I have to admire your approach and your knowledge of this project and you’re other videos great content and well explained thanks for sharing 👍

Nice work David. When I see jobs like this I cannot help but marvel at those that design these things.

Hey David......I am So so impressed that you are building that engine in such a confined and busy area.....When I have done rebuilds I like a clear space with everything laid out!! I have said it before but that is a "LUMP" gee whizz just watching you drop the crank and pistons in looked an effort. Thanks for the video its really great to see and your narration as you go is helpful

What compressor do you use

I haven’t seen these before. Good idea!

😅

My man now that i aligned my balancer gear to the fly wheel properly its put the dampers under pressure they were hard like plastic. Now guess what! I found half of one in the oil screen. I should of waited and ordered them before reasenmly. Anyway do you have a link to a set? Looks like i have to buy each one on ebay and thats going to rack up a cost i rekon too much. How much you pay for the set of dampers for it?

Well David, I guess it is a lot of work. Basically, you will have to rebuild the motor, right? I guess it will be more videos to come I'm stoaked on how it's going to turn out until next time take care...

Loved cutting down the bolt to fit - proper bit of workshop engineering.

Does anyone know the slot width dimensions as I'm trying to get a rip guide fence and I cannot find the proper dimensions.

Hi David hope your well, Wow!! there is some damage in that engine loads of chewed up metal that must have had a catastrophic failure. Good luck with the rebuild hope you can get the parts for this classic bike. These bike are usually bullet proof, must have been rider error from the last owner. Can't wait to see how you get on mate, as always a great video catch you soon take care

Great video, I'm waiting for you to set the timing during reassembly so I can copy it👍🏻.

Great to watch david, wish they were a bit longer👍

Hey David.......Its been a couple of years since I did a full rebuild on an engine since ive moved and watching you work reminds me of the fun I used to have.....every saturday was mates round, go for a fry up then back to tha garage and build bikes. Im hoping when house and outside is done I can get back to it........that was always the plan!! Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing this bike run again.....tho' dont envy you getting that bugger back in!!!

Suprised your flywheel gear didnt loose any teeth when the counterbalance shaft snapped. Your right somone probly in there and torqued it too much with a big rattle gun. Its only suposed to be half the torque of the flywheel

I got a free.99 18mm bolt in the hardware

Getting there David 👏👍.. good to see a parkside impact driver doing the job 😉👍 what part of the uk are you mate.. cheers Rob

Hi David, just wondering how many bits you'll have left over when you put it back together 🤣🤣🤣 Good luck!

Fair play …..I know zero about motorcycle engines….this is captivating….i want this to end well for you ….i say you deserve it …good luck …

Great video, really interesting

Hello here Simon from Holland . I bought a Vonroc router table . I think its the same table that you have. I will use youre idea for the router lift. Thank you for sharing

“ not many people gunna see under here “ …..😂 1500 of us TH-camrs and counting ….great job , well done 👏

Its vibrated itself to death😂

You will think someone was in there before you but its not the case. Its a fuk up at the factory and you will put it all back the same and end up pulling the engine like me again. Up to you if you want to do that mate😅

My bolt hd walked out the shaft bit wasnt snapped the rubber dampers were perished and i read it was due to synthethic oil chemicals rotting them. They were rotted and bits show up in the oil screen but now as i have excessive vibration i went back to the fourums and have discovered now its likely my counterbalance wieght is set wrong. Im thinking now tht was the cause of it all as i read some were set wrong in the factory but not enough for a recall. Dealers were comped. I just copied the factory also read haynes manual is wrong the pin is in the wrong hole so i have yet another engine pull to avoid another engine falure like you have there and i had here

Get yourself a new gear bevel seal. Sight gass seal etc

I had to remove the metal trim off the head to get it out it was so thight and the driveshaft came out a little bit was a balls to try get it back in ended up having to drop the hub off

Im deep into this same issue. It is alot of digging thrilu fourums i need to pull my engine again its the counter balance set wrong at the factories. Without the fourums you will not succeed but you need to discern. Im months at this same problem now. After this next engine pull il have the counterbalance set right now and it wont come thru the cdankcase again🙏 vital information mate save yourself a world of pain

New information uncovered. Some of the counter balance wieghts were not fitted right at the factory but not enough for a recall. Dealers were comped type thing. So dont copy the way the counterbalance was originally on. Go to the vn750 fourums. Thats where i get all my info and have to discern them. I have exsessive vibration in my handle bars now and have to pull my engine again to do the counterbalance again its not et right. Haynes and cymore manuals conflicting specs

Too much talking my ears are bleeding perhaps it would help if you wrote script people don’t like writing so then will be less talking and less bleeding from my ears,I’ve only got one pair.😂🤣

Do you live in a damp climate. I am surprised the condensation stopped with the tarp on the bottom only

Put pipe armor flex around the pipes where the tarp.wears

What was the cost?

You have a workshop with electric so whats the point

Thanks, great explanation. They're back in Aldi this week, will give it a go even with the issues.

great garage but if i got one i would have got some greenhouse hot spot tape and covered the bars where the cover comes in contact with the frame it saves rubbing, hope you don't mind me saying.

Hi David” Not for the faint hearted, rebuilding that engine . 😂 Enjoyed watching this”. Going to be good ‘watching the strip down and the rebuild.👌

This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you for the step-by-step!!

Be careful, David, with your bad back and all, at least you're making some progress with it. I look forward to part 3 to see how far you are coming along when you get the parts in until then take care...

Hey David, it's been a while since I left a comment on one of your videos. About the bike, some people aren't going to be completely honest about stuff when they are trying to make a quick buck, but then you said that the lady was old and it was her husband bike probably doesn't know to much about motorcycle and really thought it was an oil leak because of what she saw that's why she sold it cheap 800.00 really wasn't a bad price for that, you're right you probably could have gotten one that works for more money but we know you can fix it 😊 so I like to see what you came up with in the next video till then take care....

How are you going to remember how it all goes back together after 😂. Good luck with the project.

Hi David, hope your well, that is a big lump, you got it on the workbench now time for stripping back, the gear box didn't look good all mashed up, hope you can fix it. Catch you soon mate, take care

Big job ahead David. I’ll be here to watch it all. Keep it up.

And that was i guess the easy part , i do not know how you ever are going to get is in that frame ( without hurting yourself ) all alone in that no space workshop , just be carefull man. 🙄🙄

Like it very much , the build and the finish…are the “ pocket joints “ at the top of the legs sufficient to prevent racking ? …

Great job …u crane operator u …..very entertaining indeed…good luck going forward
