In this video I fit the new pistons and rebuild the top end, then I attempt to get the bike started, warning, I get a little bit excited in this video. 😂
when I saw the water pump pliers come out I had to cringe, Motorcycle Suspension adjustable Hook Wrench are best for not screwing up the collet clamps, those GT engines were great for piston swaps and rebores, I used to take my RD barrels to the shop Saturday morning get bored buy two pistons and be back on the road by tea time, Our kid had a GT250A candy apple green,
Very useful video series.
Thanks for your feedback, it's much appreciated.

I mention in the video I haven't got a C spanner, suppose it's better than the alternative of a hammer and screwdriver/chisel
I always tell neophytes that, “A bad example of how to something unfamiliar to them, can be more valuable than the correct way!”
excellent
Who taught/told you to use a torque wrench in such a brash manner???
Brash manner, do you think so, don't belive in pussyfooting around, it's probably with working in a garage for over 20 years
Tightening down the head like that actually made me cringe
Should have looked the other way, how would you go about it.
