That was great info on dropping the gear shaft assemblies into the case and then wiggling it around a bit to get the shift forks and drum in place. I try and get the gears and two of the three shift forks in all at the same time and it's always a pain. I'll try your method next time it looks way easier. I typically leave the ignition side crank seal off until after the crank is pulled into the case half. That way I can pull the crank into the bearing by using PVC pipe sleeve to push against the inner race of the bearing instead of transmitting the side load across the balls to the case half.
Nice job. What I don't understand is why there are not a ton of negative comments on this bottom end rebuild video. All the others out there say "ooh you didn't torque in a star pattern" or "you shouldn't use thst adhesive". Crazy since it's similar to a lot of other videos I've seen but none the less great job!
While its good practice, the reality is it doesn't actually matter that much, on true is on true, doesn't matter how you get there if the end result is the same.
That was a whole lot of moving internal parts for a simple 2 stroke! Now I'm praying my kx250f doesn't need engine work any time soon😥LoL. Great job and awesome rebuild video! That engine is a work of art👊✌
Could build and rebuild 2 strokes all day. The 4 strokes would be a nightmare. Kid just bought a crf250. I helped rebuild his yz125 4 times. Have Never touched my kx250 in 3 yrs. Hope his crf dont need tore down !! Ugggg. Its a 2016 so he should get this season out of it lol
Looks awesome. When I saw the spark plug going in, I said, I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!!! I’d need another 20 videos to explain what everything was and was for.
Brad thank you and rado it’s these videos who help guys like me and guys like you before the years of experience get better right now I’m doing a 2008 kx250f complete case swap and bottom end 3rd and 4th gear was pitted ,,,you guys are a tremendous resource of knowledge and information and I’m grateful
When you mount your torque wrench to a box end wrench like that you've got to keep them in a 90 degree orientation to each other. You're adding leverage by moving the fastener away from the head of the torque wrench. Great looking build though!
only part true i use in straight line if you do the math on it then you just adjust the torque so it will come out to the same as if you where not using the wrench.
Absolutely beautiful engine. I love watching Brad work on engines, I'm very impressed with his work. Can't wait to hear that thing rip and excited for the smart carb performance, I think you'll be impressed.
Man the motor looks great. Only thing is where the reed cage bolts on the spacer goes in front of the reed cage. Looked like it was bolted on between the cage and the boot. I can't wait to hear that thing fire up!
thanks Scott, glad you like it! I will make sure to put your parts to good use ;) thanks for that spacer, changed already.. it was a long day shooting the video
End of the year my yz250x will be at 100 hours so I’m gonna full rebuild the motor, 100% getting it all vapour blasted to look new. Looking at yours now I want the bits cerekoted.
Great vid, I love watching Brad work it's second nature for him. I Vapor hone items at my business every day and recently did my YZ 250 engine, turned out beautiful but man, you really have to pay attention and clean clean clean the hidden media. That stuff hides everywhere. :) and is dang near invisible.
I wouldnt say so, the video makes it look like that... maybe...but Brad took his time with all the details, I am 100% confident this engine will run great
What i nice rebuild looks awesome ! But why would you put the 5mm spacer between the inlet and the membran? Why not just remove it? To me that will create a weird transition from the fubber to the membrane...
i am not sure, around 2k.. i had to do the cylinder plating and porting, plus cut the heads and then complete rebuild kit with full hinson clutch.. it piles up..
Cool vid , dude you work quick lol, that looks so amazing, wanna no does a1997 yz250 ‘4xl‘ gearing fit a1998 also‘4xl‘.. Have a yz but no sure if its a 97 or 98, has 3rd and 5th gears messed up, found 97 year parts but wanna no if they rele fit, thanks

I have a question for you I hope you see an answer this....I'm swapping cases on a YZ250 now I noticed on the shaft below the kicker you installed that bearing with seal on it facing out towards the clutch side, the cases I got do not have a seal on that bearing it's actually on the other side of the engine on the first Shaft with a seal facing out.. did you make a mistake or is this something they do different on the new yz the? one I'm working on is a 2000
Everyone okay with how they pressed the cases together? I thought there was a special tool that pulled the crank end thru the bearing. Seems like pressing the cases together using the bolts is going to push on that crank wrong and throw it out of balance.
first off not a china kit the cranks are made 100% made in the USA the main bearings are made for a company that makes 2 big brands of bearings so the kits are solid now they used to be china kits but have all been made in use for 5 years now .and the quality is so much better now i use about 3 -5 kits a week and never have problems if there is a problem most the time its user fault like dirt getting in or mix is wrong crap like that .. but trust me the kits are good kits..
@@brad5664Soooooo many failure Storys on these cranks..So how is one sopost to know if their kit is the shitty china one or the USA one?? There isent..Not worth the risk..always go OEM

@@lindenphilippson I am willing to bet every one of the crank failures is due to improper crank seal depth installation (covering/blocking the weep/lubrication holes from the transfer ports). I've seen it a lot....they get pushed in too far. This detail cannot be messed up.

its called cerakote
Beautiful.

Did anybody else notice that he forgot to put the O-ring on before he put the cases together?
which O-ring?
Dirt N Iron 9:31 the o-ring that goes next to the crank it didn’t look like it was on there when he put the cases together
Have a crank installer right there yet use a mallet and then the bolts to draw the case halves together the incorrect way. Lmao MY MAN
