when you have oil out for a while its good to put a tag on the bars with "No oil" on the throttle. That way anybody that attempts to start it can see the tag.
Every time I take out the oil or air filter for some days, I put a sticker in the throttle grip as a reminder. "No Oil"/ "No Filter". Sometimes we may have a busy week and one can forget things, no good to run the engine with no oil or no filter ;-D
I remember the time that I rebuilt my 400EX and I did a high compression big bore ported, stage two hot cam, kibble white +1mm valves and springs etc etc... Took it for the test drive after building it for weeks and weeks little by little, and it kept dying and it sounded like it was pre-detonating, so I thought that’s what it was (it would always fire right back up) so got home poured race fuel into it thinking that was the issue just needed higher octane due to the 13:1 Compression..... it still did it and then I remember looking on my bench there was this little metal gear, didn’t think much of it. Something told me to pull the oil cooler line and crank it and make sure oil is pumping... so i did that and no oil came out, then it dawned on me that I forgot to install the oil pump drive gear! Happy ending though because all I had to do was just replace the cylinder and piston. now get this is a totally true story here... So when I originally bought the first piston from Weisco Pistons they so happened to accidentally ship me two! When I originally Contacted them and they said they May have shipped a 2nd one out by accident but there might of been a mistake and they told me to just keep the other piston. In the end it worked out perfect though!
I just rebuilt my crf450x and had a dream that I forgot to put oil in it haha. First thing I did when I woke up was put the oil and coolant right next to it so I wouldn’t forgot. Runs like a top now!
Bore, stroke, hot cam and inner rotor that thing.. she will ripppp. Hahaha And get Haley standing up while shes still new. You will thank me later. Good shit man, congrats on the engagement!
When I was 14 my 2010 YZ250f oil plug blew out and I rode for about 20 minutes and 6 miles before knowing I had lost all my oil but I filled it up and put a new plug in and rode the piss out of that bike for 3 more years and just sold it running like a champ this year for 3,000
cameron niemela.... when checking valve seals you shouldnt use water as it has a high surface tension and it would require a larger break in the seal for water to show its face..... next time use alcohol or fuel as its very low tension and will show leaks way better. another thing, when youre done lapping valves you should sharpie mark the sealing surface and gently rub the valve against the seat and see if it wears the ink off evenly.....your lapping compound can look like it hit all surfaces but doesnt mean the valve and seat are genuinely mated together. keep up the great work and love your channel... also congrats on landing a great woman!!!
Hey Cameron, A little trick to change the timing chain without taking the engine apart. Break the old chain while its in the case. Break the New chain. Hook them together temporarily. Pull the new chain through using the old one. Once the New chain is in place take the old chain off and hook the new one back together. It is a bit tricky at first but once its done once it is much easier that screwing with splitting the case and tearing into other stuff. Loved the video, always super descriptive and well put together!
Place the ignition key in an envelope marked "NO OIL". Place that in a safe place in another room. Tape over the keyhole, mark it "NO OIL". Glad you saved the bike and congrats on your engagement. Happy days.
The good part is now you dont need gloves to open this engine🤣🤣 Nice work as always, I'm glad you have stopped this engine before it was completely trashed👍👍
Don’t worry. I managed to only put 200ml of oil in a 1975 cr125. I only noticed when the clutch started slipping after around 4 hours of VMX racing. Happens to the best of us, and me
Tip I learned from the interwebs on timing chain replacement, pop a link out of the old one and the new one, link them together and spin the motor over until new chain is all the way in 😉
Man, that is so much more complicated than my 33 year old Honda. I have a couple caps for timing marks instead of taking the whole cover off, don't have to split cases for new timing chain (which I had to replace 😂), and the cam gear had a cover over it for easy access. All in all, an amazing video on a beautiful bike, and a lesson to yourself and viewers on what not to forget!
I was hoping for a yoshi or poweroll cam. (not even sure if those companies are still around). Great video reminds me of my past life as a Honda bike mechanic in the 70s. Hey you may want to explain why the end gap is important. I use needle nose on the wrist pin clips. Put it on one edge, seat the other edge and gently roll them into place by rotating them toward the gap. You pay so much attention to detail it is incredible. Any person who gets you as there mechanic is darn lucky. Thanks for the memories. Larry
Congratulations on your proposal bro. Subscriber here from the Philippines. I really appreciate how you do your builds. its amazing same as Adam and Dirt N Iron. such an inspiration for a me since i was modifying and restoring bikes too.
Having been in this situation at Glamis, my daughter ran out of oil on our TRX250 with a 650R engine. The drain plug backed out. The exhaust rocker arm and cam were toast. We added oil, rode it the rest of the weekend and upgraded the top end when we returned home. Honda's rock
And for the valve retainer clips, i like to put a blob of grease on the valve stem, so when i put the clips in place, they dont move around when releasing the pressure of the tool. So you dont have to fiddle with a screwdriver etc whilst holding the spring compression tool.
mano, parabens, video muito bom. eu não falo seu idoma de forma fluente mas entendi os cuidados que vc passo e o que fazer. sinta-se orgulhoso pelo seu trabalho.
I did the exact same process on my ttr90 a few weeks ago. New piston, lapped the valves and cleaned them on my scotch brite wheel. But I didn't have a valve spring compressor......what a pain in my ASS. Only I remembered to put oil in it! Haha just busting your balls. Keep up the good work, I always look forward to your videos
I love the way u work with your dirt bike.I would also love if u made a really in depth video on a engine rebuild.I have a 2019 klx 140 and want to upgrade some parts.
Yea the only problem with these bikes is they can't do wheelies for anything, but they are cool. And yes I've ridden one so I do know what I'm talking about
@@sethjk0615 you can litterally wheelie anything. This isn't a difficult bike to wheelie at all...just because you can't do them doesn't mean the equipment is lacking ability. 99% of the time it's the rider
Your good bro we all mess up sometimes. I had an engine off of a ttr 125 where I installed the cam chain tensioner incorrectly and it broke the cam gear off😂🤘🏼
Cheers for the scotchbrite pads/wheel Cam they should do the job,Great video by the way. Cam i like to say congrates to you onyour health and getting engaged mate.
if the adjusters are the same as my sister's CRF-100 I found the square head on the adjuster is the same size as a drywall screw. I drilled a pilot hole in a piece of wood dowel, screwed in the screw and it makes a handy tool for those.
Omg man I was laughing like crazy, we all make mistakes but also we learn from them, hey that's the price having a fiancé 😂 another top video man loved it, I'm in the middle of my own build yx 160 pitbike build waiting on parts kills your vibe been waiting 5 weeks for a crank case after they sent the wrong one out love the videos keep it up keep me inspired ❤
Cameron, your skills are Legendary. No drama, just get down and do it. Lots of other people (me included) would be ready to bang their heads against a wall. Thanks for the lessons, both technical and emotional..A great job! Regards from S Africa Clive
Scotchbrite the tip of the valves before you try and pull them out. Also theretainer groove can catch the stem seal and damage that super fine seal edge. Love the valve compressor. Where can i get one? Also do a figure 8 on the glass and sandpaper.
Did the same exact thing on my pro circuit kx250f years back. Fresh rebuild on top and bottom. 269cc kit. Pro circuit head. Preoccupied and rushing, forgot the oil. Stuck the piston out on the heat cycle and it trashed everything including the cam journals on a $1000 head. I'll never make that mistake again.
I've made much bigger mistakes with bikes.. believe me, LOL! (but in the end i've learned much more from my mistakes than my successes. ) Great vid again!
A tip for really checking your seat surface after lapping. Grab a lead pencill and draw lines all across the surface of the seat, then take your dry, clean valve and spin it around the seat. If the lead is gone you have a good surface. Sometimes you get an uneaven surface where it seals uneavenly even tho it looks good after lapping.
Poor Cameron raw dogged the wifes Honda... Lol... Well he's definitely going to have a lifetime of reminder. What even makes it funnier is he's also the same one who over lubes everything so you know damn straight he was nervous trying to plan out everything for his girl. It all worked out but you think maybe some top notch Amsoil would of made up for that brain fog... 😝😝😝
I've heard of a tip about a honda worker breaking the old timing chain and breaking the new timing chain and fusing them together and pulling the chain through to put the new one in, then take off the old chain.
When i did my first piston change, i dropped a circlip in the coolant passage hole :D. Luckily it didnt go too deep and i got it out with pliers. Second piston change i put paper in the hole.
What it is the purpose of the cam sprocket bolts being different "colors"? Why must the darker one go one the right? Great, clear and concise video as always. Rebuilding my boys CRF80 now and with this video, you have given me the confidence to do this and it appears its not such a scary process for a somewhat newbie. Thanks!
Not to nit pick, but you should use blue loctite on the cam gear bolts so they dont loosen up. I've seen what happens when they do come loose. It's not pretty! Anyway great informative video Cameron. Keep up the good work!
That copper colored thing in the exhaust port is actually a gasket that's squished: 18291-KZ1-670 You can still see the old one in the head at 18:55. Use a pick to pop it out.
Honestly, I did the same exact thing once. I had replaced a gasket on the right side crankcase cover of my 2 stroke and when putting it back together I completely blanked when coming to putting oil back in. Buttoned everything else up and went to ride. Rode for a solid 20 mins on my neighbors track/field. Wide open throttle ridding it like it should be ridden having a blast. When while sitting taking a breather it hit me that I hadnt put oil in it. You can bet i was scared to death that i had probably just fried my motor. I pushed it back to my shop, put oil in it and called it a day. Rebuilt it probably 40 hours later and even after the hell I had put it through everything looked good.
I've been wanting to do a xr80 vintage race style build for a long time. After seeing pics of xr75s and what was done to them, I wanted to see if I could do the same with an newer 80.
did you use a different bolt on the cam chain tensioner hold down plate when you put the engine back together? It was soothing to watch an XR80 motor get rebuilt. brings back memories. Im looking to pick one up for some backyard fun.
Awesome information/tutorial on how to fix up a DirtBike engine system and also helpful explaining to us aswell. Awesome video once again. Cool and helpful guiding tutorial video.
You make doing engine rebuild so easy 😂 just blew up my aprillia rs50 and I’ve had to take the hole engine apart even bottom end and I’m only just getting through it 😂😂
I had a 91 RM80 when I was 12-13 years old. Thinking back, I don't remember changing the oil or adding any EVER. I ran the absolute shit out of that bike. I finally sold it when I was 19.
I have lapped valves manytimes u can do it how u did it BUT after lapping lapp the valve without lapping compuond and you should see some clear rings around the sealing surface and do it by hand
Good video. Bore should really be measured near the top (below the cylinder ridge), middle and bottom to check for taper with a bore gauge or snap gauges and a mic.
On the bright side more content...
Or was it for more content? 🤔 haha either way this something neither will forget and it was very informative!
I agree. When I get a notification from Cam I 9 times out of ten stop everything I'm doing.
Cameron, to replace cam chain on XR80, remove flywheel and stator assembly. Note use JASO MA oil for motorcycles.
when you have oil out for a while its good to put a tag on the bars with "No oil" on the throttle. That way anybody that attempts to start it can see the tag.
Every time I take out the oil or air filter for some days, I put a sticker in the throttle grip as a reminder. "No Oil"/ "No Filter". Sometimes we may have a busy week and one can forget things, no good to run the engine with no oil or no filter ;-D
Zip tie on the throttle grip also works.
If it's not a daily driver, just check the oil before starting. Takes literally, 20 seconds.
I remember the time that I rebuilt my 400EX and I did a high compression big bore ported, stage two hot cam, kibble white +1mm valves and springs etc etc...

Place the ignition key in an envelope marked "NO OIL". Place that in a safe place in another room.
Tape over the keyhole, mark it "NO OIL".
Glad you saved the bike and congrats on your engagement. Happy days.
First video of yours I have watched. Like your calm style, clean work area, as well as good camera quality. Congratulations on your engagement.
The good part is now you dont need gloves to open this engine🤣🤣
Nice work as always, I'm glad you have stopped this engine before it was completely trashed👍👍
I'm sorry this happened, BUT it's a pleasure to watch you work bro, I enjoyed every second of this video, learned a ton like always 🙏🏻
The more I watch you work on bikes the more confidence I get to do my own work. Thanks!

Even the best make mistakes, don´t be too hard on yourself! :-)
Crazyhero 1924 Well ya know the only difference between a pro and a amateur is the pro can fix there own mistakes
You should get a bbr big bore kit

Xr80s aren’t really pit bikes and they can definitely wheelie just drop the clutch in second or third at half throttle and it will wheelie

Hey Cameron
Sorry to hear that!
But problems are opportunities for improvements, so thank you for yet another great video!
Question : How would you suggest i restore the bike's axles?
should i run them in a wire brush wheel before the PrymeMX© cleaning pad or should i only alternate between the two pads instead?
Thanks for ALL your valuable help bro!
Congrats on your engagement!

Congrats on the engagement, and for owning up to your mistake.

GREAT Video Cam!!!!!
As usual, Very Informative and Enjoyable as well.
Do a big bore kit
You're not alone, man! I did the same damn thing like. In a hurry and ripped around for 5 min with no oil. Doh!
Ooo nice camera!
Dude I’m new to your channel I absolutely love watching these builds you have such a gift!! Looking forward to maybe a CRF450 build!!
I known the comments help... enjoyed this one. Thanks!
Not to nit pick, but you should use blue loctite on the cam gear bolts so they dont loosen up. I've seen what happens when they do come loose. It's not pretty!
Anyway great informative video Cameron. Keep up the good work!
Great instructional video!
Fresher is always better🤙🏻 mistakes happen keep up the good work cam
We all make mistakes my friend but congratulations on your engagement.
Not often I watch a 40 minute YT video all the way through but I learned a lot
That copper colored thing in the exhaust port is actually a gasket that's squished: 18291-KZ1-670
You can still see the old one in the head at 18:55. Use a pick to pop it out.
Rebuild this with all takegawa parts

Hmmm, Devin`s car gets broken into and his camera gear gets stolen,
then Cameron shows up with a new camera in his next Video !
lol
Hahahaha
Try to find a cheap surface plate. The glass can bend a small bit if the surface the glass is on isn't flat enough.
Keep it up. Diggin' your attention to detail. This video, LOVE you can own a mistake and correct. Keep leading by example!

Love your videos man and I wish I had my old xr100 to fully rebuild it!
Good video. Bore should really be measured near the top (below the cylinder ridge), middle and bottom to check for taper with a bore gauge or snap gauges and a mic.
I use to drop the oil in my XR600 and tip it straight into my car...bit by bit.
It was motul oil. My car use to use 16 litres every 6mths.
I don’t even own this bike but watching someone who knows what they are doing was great
