Nice job. Only thing i would have done otherwise was the sandpaper part when the piston was already back in the cylinder. Hopefully there won't be any contamination
You sure the two rings are the same? On engines with 3 piston rings the top two are generally different. The surfaces that mate with the cylinder walls are at differenr angles. Nice job. I'm proud of you.
I've enjoyed your videos a lot. A suggestion regarding gaskets: buy an assortment of paper, rubber and cork gasket material and cut your own. Next time you tear one, you can just cut a new one, instead of waiting for days for an expensive piece of paper to arrive.
Cool. Crispy. I want to hear it run. Doing my own rebuild on a 74 Yamaha DT 100. Your videos have been a lot of help so far. Now I need to buy a case splitting tool.
Enjoying this build 👍. One part I would recommend doing differently is sanding the jug when it is not on the motor because I guarantee you got aluminum and sandpaper dust down inside it. You sanded the top gasket surface after installing it.
Yeah that is true, I realized that too but I already had the cylinder bolted down and I didn't want to damage another gasket taking it off again. I made sure to clean the top of the piston and cylinder very well before sliding the piston down any further. Thanks for the tips!
It's ALIVE! Nicely done another great build. I was surprised the manual didn't call for any gasket sealant on the bottom gasket. I think since its getting nice outside it's about time for a motovlog on the café bike.
Love the video's! You know, you could torque down those hard to reach bolts with a bit of math. Take a rachet of a foot long, and pull on it with a luggage scale. If you multiply feet and pounds, you obviously get foot-pounds. If you get a wrench of 1 foot long and pull with 10 pounds of force, you get 10 foot-pounds! This is one of the rare occasions when the American units make it more convenient then the SI-units! :-D
Great job on the build one thing I would recommend doing is have that cylinder honed out before installed the piston I did see some scratch marks also on the break in cycle make sure you put some 2 stroke oil in the gas tank also and then do your heat cycles no more the 1/4 throttle for about 15 min then do half throttle for the rest of the tank make sure you let the motor cool down in between also when you do the final break in on your second tank of fuel run it do a few wide open pills to help the rings wear in properly and seat
A tip for ya, always stuff a rag around the conrod when when putting the gudgeon pin clips on, really sucks when they pop out and drop down there! Great vids, keep them coming dude. A big whats up from New Zealand
You shoud put one wrist pin clip in the piston before you do anything else, then you put piston first in to the cylinder and then on the engine and then you put second wrist pin clip on. It's mutch easier to do it that way becouse of the piston rings, and there is less chance to drop the clip into the engine. That's just my advice. Sorry for my bad English.
Great video, man! You can use a crows foot wrench on the end of a torque wrench for those annoying bolts. There are some online calculators to help calculate the torque value based on the extra length of the crows foot.
I know this comment is a year old, but for anyone who sees it in the future: if you keep the crow's foot at exactly a right angle to your torque wrench, the torque values are accurate. Might not have fit in this case but it's good to know.
Ye agreed with oddis below. Lots of carborandum / silica grit. Not good. Do that sort of thing long before assembly. Then clean cylinder thoroughly. Also why not a honing of cylinder for the new piston and rings. :) A good suggestion watch closely Cameron Neimer (dirt bike) restoration. I've learnt from him. Sets a high standard ! :)
Congrats dude, I hope it all works out for you! Only advice is you should definitely try to torque those cylinder bolts if possible. Also, next time maybe don’t sand the gasket surface, scotch brite pad with with a bit of solvent works. The key is not to sand away metal and best if done when the engine is apart. Not sure if you honed the cylinder but that is necessary. Lastly, purple power and aluminum can cause oxidation and corrosion, luckily you didn’t use a lot but just make sure not to soak aluminum parts in P-power. I’ve been a sub since your first bike build, and these are just honest suggestions, not trying to be a troll. But I will say you’ve come along way!
Here's a tip. don't use that assembling oil anywhere in on top end and inside crank case.. Just use the 2 stroke oil like you did for the cylinder walls. Cuz that oil will have to burn off and regular lube oils turn into polymers.
Please make a video on painting the engine. I’ve almost finished my 83’ KX80 restoration and received everything from powder coat, I just don’t know how I should go about painting the engine, well with heat paint of course!!
Honda A tip if you are going to paint the engines, take it apart and paint it. Its the same prep work like when painting other stuff. Sand the surface and get rid of old paint. Clean it very well. Mask it, and then final wipedown with alcohol or thinner. Then paint, lay a couple of layers. 3-5 maybe. Then if the paint needs to be heated to fully cure you probably should Wait 24 hours then heat it up with a heat Gun. I use an old oven. And after you have heated. Let it Cure for about 3-4 days then go over it with maybe 800 or 1200grit paper wet sand. Clean it then put some clear coat. If it needs to be heated to fully Cure do that. Then i would probably let it sit for couple of weeks to make sure it is fully Cured. And then use some towels or old t shirts to prevent scratches. take your time on the painting and maybe even practise on a piece of metal to get a feel for it
Vhjvb Hjb, yeah I’m pretty good at painting, prepping and masking. Probably shouldn’t have asked for help with that. I’m just wondering how some people remove the paint. I could always sandblast it in my blaster. And I’ve already completely rebuilt it and it is put together.
Honda what engine is it? I use paint stripper but not sure if that is optimal when engine is put togheter. You could probably sand blast it as long as you mask of seals output shaft and shifter shaft. And make sure that if there are any breather holes/hoses. Mask them of.
You shouldn't have used sandpaper after piston was in . you put abrasive material all over piston. But great video . i had a ts 185 when i was a kid . thay are fun in the trails ...
First of all, you didn't hone those scratches out of the cylinder, you didn't bother to paint the cylinder, you installed the clips without a rag to cover crankcase and then you sanded the top of the jug with your piston in. You definitely will be seeing that piston again. Is this your first rebuild?
Just so you know on the TS185K engine, they did switch to full length studs and nuts at the top. I guess I should consider myself lucky that I ended up with a K engine and not an A hahaha
Great job building top and don’t forget to email me really like to send pics from myBike Bill although I messed up broke the fuel line the other day so I had to order another one.Besides I have a really good job I work at Disney
Nice job. Only thing i would have done otherwise was the sandpaper part when the piston was already back in the cylinder. Hopefully there won't be any contamination
I cleaned the top of the piston out very good before fully reassembling it. I hope there aren't any contaminates either. Thanks for watching!
I was think the same thing lol this guy's funny af
You sure the two rings are the same? On engines with 3 piston rings the top two are generally different. The surfaces that mate with the cylinder walls are at differenr angles. Nice job. I'm proud of you.
Tell you what your proper on the ball for your age mate and appreciate the GENIUS that an engine is..keep going pal great job.
And btw. You can lube the piston through the sparkplug hole if you need to 😉
Ahh. I wrote the comment to early. I wrote it when you said that when you still can lube it😂

@@GoldGuyRides a new gasket is cheaper than rebuilding the top end again though👍
Making it look easy kid, looking forward to seeing it painted and running.
It's ALIVE! Nicely done another great build. I was surprised the manual didn't call for any gasket sealant on the bottom gasket. I think since its getting nice outside it's about time for a motovlog on the café bike.
I definitely use a light layer of Yamabond on both sides of that base gasket. They have a tendency to blow out.

Well done for patience , I salute you man
That's a sweet guitar track around 11:00 when you are torquing the head back on.

Something tells me that is definately *NOT* the last time you will see that piston! =p
Just some friendly ribbing, love your vids =)
Ahaaa thanks for the comment man

Great work and good progress. Looking forward to the re-assembly chapter.
My wife walked in the room when he said aren't these nuts so much fun... The look on her face was priceless!

YOU FORGOTTEN THE WASHER ON THE HEAD. I never forget the washer before the nut, it's important.
No he use the wrong nuts in fact cyl nut are head nuts
Haha I still weird out my roommates for "talking to the camera" in my shop. Great video man! Stoked you got the engine reassembled :)
This videos are fun to watch. I'd like to learn how to work on engines
yes! finally! i can feel the paint job! u can use aircraft paint remover for that old paint
Gold Guy great content. I would love if you told us your history and background of how you started working on motorcycles. You make it look so easy!

Be sure rings facing right side up.
Hi Gold Guy when install the rings one of the ring should had small dimple or some mark on the ring it self that your top ring
Also make sure your jetting on the carb is correct especially with your elevation and all
You're doing a great job buddy. I'm enjoying the series.
Uou can put multiple feeler gauges together to see what the gap is,just saying so later on u can see
looks like the circlip on the piston was put on wrong ? , might score the barrel...
Did you hone the cylinder? Very important for the rings to seat properly.
I was thinking about that too
Yes I honed the cylinder in a different video
Great job loving the vids

Vhjvb Hjb yep - 1983 KX80 F1
Honda 😂😂 forgot you mentioned it.What are you doing with the bolts? Are you painting them or swaping them after?
you didn't mention when installing the piston rings they have to be offset positioned...I would use lock nuts on the head and cylinder
😂 I can hear my piston rattling in the cylinder, I swear. But the thing is happy to keep running!
btw many frame parts (maybe engine parts too) are the same across many ts models for 50cc to 250cc form the 70s to 90s !
Good job,
What top end kit did you use? My 1974 ts 185 lost compression👎🏽👎🏽
Please do the rear shocks
PURPLE POWER!
The rings look the same, but there different!
Next video... riding it?
What kind of oil do you put in the crankcase?
You shouldn't have used sandpaper after piston was in . you put abrasive material all over piston. But great video . i had a ts 185 when i was a kid . thay are fun in the trails ...
Gotta love playing with fun nuts... lol

Where did you get the diagrams for this engine
No gasket maker used ?
Nice, but why you don't make a tracker?
I've been thinking about that!
Amaizing
Talking to the camera!!!😅😅😅... been there.
Hola saludos desde ecuador
🏍💨💨💨
The camera didnt die he probable had a hard time with the clutch installing the springs can be reall pain
No it was pretty easy after I made a spring hook.
Bro the notifications are working now
That's awesome 👍 thanks for letting me know
I have a special wrench that attaches to my torque wrench to get tose pesky jug nuts.
More episodes
8:14 that's what she said
Y otra el. Silindro no se lija con el piston adentro xq las birutas se ban para el cilindro y se raya el piston..
I'm not trying to be rude but my OCD is killing me with this right now.
Great job building top and don’t forget to email me really like to send pics from myBike Bill although I messed up broke the fuel line the other day so I had to order another one.Besides I have a really good job I work at Disney
What's your email?
jgarnsey@live.com
Todo veo q lo pones al reves y asta despues te das cuenta q lo has puesto al reves como q adivinando ases las cosas..
wenn it was apart you should have panteed
Mi ts no enciende
Eso no hay nesesidad de golpiar el pin del piston con un martillo el entra solo solo empujandolo creo q tu eres un aficionado no mecánico completo..
