Honda CT70 COMPLETE engine REBUILD! In ONLY 12 minutes! (Step by step)

I just rebuild the bottom end of my Honda CT70H model 4 speed engine! It really wasn't too difficult! I took lots of pictures and videos along the way which made putting things back together much easier! The reason for doing the rebuild was because the shifter shaft was bent, so bad that I was unable to shift it at all. I ended up having to but part of the bent part of and then hammering it through the case to get it out! I also ended up getting a new kick start shaft with fresh new splines on it as often time those strip off. I bought the majority of my parts on CHP motorsports, they specialize in old Hondas. Some stuff I had to get on eBay. I hope you guys find this video helpful. Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them! Make sure your subscribed to my channel, pt.2 will be me rebuilding the top end and finishing the rebuild!

Really well done. I'm restoring a 1969 Mini trail (my first bike back in 1971). Your camera and narration work is better than most. Keep up the great work!

[@Mechanic_kid]

Love the video, bud! I’ve got a ‘77 CT70 that the kick starter only engages when the bike is leaned hard left, and the whole shaft slides to the right, maybe an inch, and has no resistance, many times if you’re not leaning or pushing the shaft to the left while kicking. But, it does run. Any thoughts? I was thinking maybe a circlip, or maybe a thrush washer broken. What do you think? Either way, I’ll be referencing your video when it’s time to put the cases back together. THANKS in advance. Not many young men are as gifted or as dedicated to a badass craft like you are. Keep it up man!

[@maxlentjes4482]

You are supposed to put the loctite in the hole not on the bolt

[@michaelmartin5942]

I'm just curious why you put oil on the engine gaskets during installation?

[@idiot-proofgarage3739]

where is part 2?

[@waymonster]

n00b here.
I'm picking up my first CT70.
What tools should I have on stand by? Id like to take the engine apart and put it back together as a learning exercise.
Thanks all.

Where can I get that special socket that you used to screw the clutch in

[@arksrandom5968]

3:03, is he putting oil on the gasket? Why should you do this and how much should you be putting?

[@Mechanic_kid]

A lot of people do it. Supposedly makes it so you can crack the cases in the future and the gaskets don’t get ruined. I just put some oil on my finger and put it on the gasket

[@adoswest248]

What is the red fluid u applied to the crank shaft???

[@rudridz]

Looks like transmission fluid to me

[@brianseadoo8307]

[@brucepeters508]

[@aussiepride3358]

[@Mechanic_kid]

I never ended up putting the video together, sorry! Checkout my other video where I show how the top end goes together: th-cam.com/video/4w_txsS93pY/w-d-xo.html

[@aussiepride3358]

Where can I buy all the parts necessary? To rebuild I’ve got one here in Australia!

[@muddymotos5003]

Thank your for the vid

[@Mechanic_kid]

No problem I hope it is helpful!

[@muddymotos5003]

@@Mechanic_kid Yea it is was very helpful.

[@Pacificbell]

How long does it take to do this

[@arksrandom5968]

Possibly days if you don't know what your doing, but if you are organized and already have all your parts you should only be like an hour or 2

[@franciscoolvera6871]

Nice

[@Mechanic_kid]

Thanks man! Pt.2 is coming! Stay tuned👍🏼

[@franciscoolvera6871]

Look forward to it. I want to rebuild my engine. But always looked like too much. This didn’t look too bad
