Thanks mate, I got caught buying a 2nd hand 230 crf for my son...had it a month and the thing started smoking like a hippy at a Bob Marley concert. Took it to the local Honda dealer.....and bang....sir your quote is $5000....everything is fucked they reckon.....well that is little more than twice what I paid for the thing....I told them don't worry about it I'll do it myself. The icing on the cake is when I went to pick it up (in pieces) the mechanic offered me a carton of beer for it.....what a fuck'n liberty! So I will do it myself.....and like you have shown in your video...some bikes you just need to get up and running again....they arn't worth a lot and you don't need the rolls royce service on em...just want em working again so you can use them.
Hello, just want to comment on how you and the young guy (your son I would guess) are working together. And the respect and patience you show in helping him. My dad never had the patience so we didn't do those things together. It's nice for me to see that fathers and son's can work together like that...good dad
+Nick Nicoloudis hi Nick .my piston is seized in the barrel and im gonna have to knock it down somehow ,but then it wont be in sync with the valves? i dont know how im gonna do this .any ideas?
This is an Apollo 250 bike if anyone wants to know. Thanks for the video, Ben thinking of putting a new head on mine, wanted to see how aggravating it was to do.
FUCKING THANK YOU!!!! JESUS CHRIST WOULD IT OF KILLED A CUNT TO SAY WHAT THE BIKE ACTUALLY IS @RCflightSeeker . thank you so much dude saving me heaps over here I just braught one of these I've had to try and re-wire the fucker as it's been modified by some asshole has just screwed it completely so I'm in the middle of rebuilding an it's just been a real shit show brother so this has helped me out so much I now actually know the things I'm looking for and this is gonna help out heaps
Good job, worked fine by the sounds of it :-)) Reminded me of the old small honda's of my younger days, same chain tensioner system as some ive tinkered with. I used to make base gaskets out of cerial boxes, i didnt have much money eather.
Dear Nick, I do not fully understand your explanation on the valve clearances. At what clearances have you set your inlet and outlet now? Thanks for the great video!
Good job, but it will be good it you follow requirements of the engine manual, because as I know some consumable materials needed to replace during their removal. Best Regards.
@@M-Revs You have markings on the side of the clutch that allow you to bring the camshaft back into position by finishing flush with the edge of the cylinder housing with the markings of the camshaft gear
I've got one that's heat seized. Assume I need to get the head skimmed before refitting as well as new barrel and piston? Like the way you dropped the engine without having to take it out, very informative. Thanks.
Does anyone know what a good compression test reading would be on a cold engine? I'm trying to figure out if I need to tear mine down. I got about 135 cold without adding any additional oil to the cylinder head through the spark plug hole.
This looks like the 229cc I have on my 2016 magician I was riding earlier after I changed oil and it got choppy then died when I pulled the clutch. It was leaking oil like a sieve but started once cooled down. What's the problem u think?🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Hello. I have a zongshen 250 dirt bike and I need a replacement hub and rear brake rotor. I was wondering if you could help me find one. I haven't had any luck. Thanks
Look at the dent in the piston from the exhaust valve hitting it. LOL. Look at the exhaust valve spring when he puts it back on. It's crooked because the valve is bent from hitting the piston. This bike is fucked. He did not even check anything. Didn't even use a cris-cross pattern when putting the head bolts on, much less use any torq specs. Good way to warp the shit out of the head.
gasket is worth more then the bike, but you can just use silver paint from spray can, it has small metal fragments in it that will fill the imperfections
No new gaskets?, no torque check, using a blunt metal object on head surfaces, what gives dude?? as I see this, if I didn't know how rebuild an engine and watched this for the first time!, wow.. I'm surprised if it ran after this, very poor video tutorial
you can slap these chinese engines together if it was like a cbr 125 engine i would have set it all out on a white table and had trays and torque settings and a set of new gasket with copper sillicone
kierankay100 That attitude is why Chinese engines keep encountering problems. Treat em like any other engine and they're not a bother. Did a top-end rebuild on my Chinese 125, treat it like I would any other engine and she ran smooth as ever.
Does anyone know how to mount the cam chain on a zs169fmm machine, the piston is 69mm. I have a chain of 102 links and 104 links. 102 links are too short and 104 too long, regardless of the tension in which phase it was. on the 102 link, it needs a little bit to sit, but I'm afraid that it would be too tight and could damage the camshaft bearing. by the way, I don't know if it is the original cylinder on the machine, because I read that the piston should be 65.5 mm.
moe green guess what....when your an experienced engine builder ....youll see black blowing past the compression ring....this is the tell tale sign the rings are bad...youll also see black on the skirting of the piston.....but you would not know that...cuz you've never been inside an engine......you have to realize this engines worth about 250 us dollars......so you have to weigh the cost of service to the value of the product....would you put 300 dollars into an engine worth 250...no...here in USA an hour of a mechanics time is roughly 100 dollars...so 1.5 hours and your at 50 percent total value.....it does not make sense to do a documented blueprinted build on this engine
styles,unlimited I've rebuilt countless motorcycles and ATVs you were partially right on what you say but not 100%. I've only built 2 Chinese machines a 110 and a 70 cc. Most Japanese engines the valves are shimed nonadjustable replace shims only
unfortunately most of these bikes dont have timing marks so you need to do it yourself. need to be scared. just turn it over by hand from the crank. this way if it gets stuck somewhere you know it's not right and just do it again doesn't take long. don't use the starter motor. and have fun

+GAR A I know how to find out if the piston is on tdc (Top dead cernet) and not on bdc (Bottom dead center): take the spark plug out and look inside to visually check that the piston is there. if you cant see anything it maybe because the top of the piston is black. in that case just stick something inside to feel the top of the piston but be careful not to drop it inside the barrel!. if you have done it wrong the bike will probably still start but be really noisy. if you notice this, open the valve covers and search tdc again. The valves clearances will be REALLY BIG, adjust them again. that is definitively tdc. it is good to always take the spark plug off when you do this anyways because the engine is easier to turn. I think the valve clearance would be more accurate if the engine TDC is set turning the crankshaft in the same direction as the engine normally turns as it normally works (that is the oposite direction the mechanic from the video does it) I have done it in 3 different bikes and i think it would usually be anti clockwise in probably most bikes If it doesn't have any marks on the crank i would imagine that something somewhere would align somehow, like the bolts on the timing chain sprocket in this case?
Is is a movie , as in this engine properly set the timing ? Where you put the cam , up or down? After setting the timing chain tension ? Sorry for my English, but I explain in google . Regards.

Amazing... I've been looking everywhere for videos, parts, etc. for this bike. It is the same motor as my ZS250GS Storm. Thank you!!!
That Piston is Brand New never Fired- No Soot or Oil Deposits! -Someones Already Been into this Motor!
Good job, worked fine by the sounds of it :-))
Reminded me of the old small honda's of my younger days, same chain tensioner system as some ive tinkered with.
I used to make base gaskets out of cerial boxes, i didnt have much money eather.
hahaha. the Chinese have copied the Honda engine. I have head of using cerial boxes for gaskets. have not tried. will do :)
My father had no clue, so I just took the bike apart myself, it still is the best way 50 years later, and 50 years later I'm still doing it....
Saved me a lot of time and money with setting up the engine timing chain
I have the same dirt bike engine that propley need a topend rebuild thanks for helping
Dear Nick, I do not fully understand your explanation on the valve clearances. At what clearances have you set your inlet and outlet now?
Thanks for the great video!
wow how is that piston top so clean, when i look at mine through the spark plug hole its just black not shinny like yours.
New gaskets wouldnt be a bad idea
Good job, but it will be good it you follow requirements of the engine manual, because as I know some consumable materials needed to replace during their removal. Best Regards.
Apollo 250 let's get it brother dope and well done
Not a single new gasket was hurt that day, and no torque wrench got disturbed neither.
Η καδένα χρονισμού είναι ότι πρέπει για τα κλειδιά ^_^
Hello, I have a question, I have the same motor, How do you adjust the camshaft correctly? Best regards,
Did you figure it out ? Same sitautipn i didnt mark marks just took it off dont know where to put back now
@@M-Revs You have markings on the side of the clutch that allow you to bring the camshaft back into position by finishing flush with the edge of the cylinder housing with the markings of the camshaft gear
@@Spartan-recordings so does fl on cam have to line up with the fl on clutch ?
Where does fl on the camshaft have the line up with
@@M-Revs exactly. 👍
Dude Ive seen shade tree work and yours takes the cake
I've got one that's heat seized. Assume I need to get the head skimmed before refitting as well as new barrel and piston? Like the way you dropped the engine without having to take it out, very informative. Thanks.
Very nice video Dost
Dose that say “in” on top of the piston?
I see theres no plastic guides for the cam chain, the one i have has guides i was womdering if the chain is tight can i just remove my guides ?
Does anyone know what a good compression test reading would be on a cold engine? I'm trying to figure out if I need to tear mine down. I got about 135 cold without adding any additional oil to the cylinder head through the spark plug hole.
If its a 250 like in the video, 135 is around how much it should be, your engine is good to go 👍
Rockies toad side repairs and Frankie's farm house fuckups! Ok on a Chinese bike.

The same principles on this thumper apply to a vtwin yes?
Hello bro,
Hope you are doing well
I have this engine..can you please tell me how much HP does this engine have?and what brand is it?
These are zongshen engines made in China. They range from around 16 to 19 horsepower depending on the exact model.
Dude your are the best
What bike is it
Needs to be a rtv comercial
what is the torque of the cover and cylinder? i have zongshen 250 engine..... PLZ answer me!

KING TROLL true it's his bike he's see the results soon
They machine those dents in there on purpose. One for each valve
very....very nice......congratulations...... São Paulo - Capital - Brasil
what exactly you wanted to show?? how to remove and install cylinder?? and why you dont use new a gaskets?
gasket is worth more then the bike, but you can just use silver paint from spray can, it has small metal fragments in it that will fill the imperfections
Nick Nicoloudis any silver paint works?
th-cam.com/video/m6AZ7_mACUg/w-d-xo.html
hi there.after the modification you did on the camshafts,how the engine perform? is there any difference? is it better?
yes, a big difference a lot more top end. not good for dirt bike, but good for road bike :) higher top speed
Nick Nicoloudis THANKS.
hi I would like to ask how many articles has rozvodová chain thanks in advance
Is this almost the same for every 250cc 4 stroke single cilinder engine?
Can show how to overhaul an loncin gp 250cc step by step thank you
Can u make a video on tdc
It must be cleaned before assembled...
Thanks u bro ❤

Y cuál era el problema????? Sólo desarmaste y volviste a armar como para que??????...
After rebuild it how many km we have to ride below 40-50 km....
I recently bought a 2nd hand bike and it has the exact same engine you have but I don't know the name of it can you help me out please
You didn't rebuild nothing take apart and put back together, WTF?
Didn’t show putting the rockers back in

This engine is not a 250cc engine but a 230cc Honda engine.
sl230 & FTR It is engine used for motorcycle.
Is that 166fmm loncin motor
Can you please send me your wiring diagram i have the same bike but messed up wiring
Top End rebuild*
What engine
Great
Looks like stop motion
pliz help and teach me am intrested
what the name of this bike engine,not totaly same to hero karizma engine👍👍
Zar Mawia it's a lifan engine Apollo made it
also there is a torque sequence to those head bolts and you sure didnt follow it
Perfect
loncin re250 engine. same as mine
this is not a proper how to video
lol didnt even mention what engine...
If i put regular gas in a 91 yz 250 what needs to be done.???? Anyone with knowledge please comment
Drain all the gas and put 2 stroke mix in it. Unless you already blew the bike up
how can i repair my gear
روعه
which engine name
How in the world do you build any engine and not put new gaskets back and torque the bolts correctly this is SOOOOOOOOOO stupid
This is a basic re ring and yeah it does work just fine
start white out a axhous man thouse valves wont last long
Is this engine is honda
Clone of the crf230 motor
مرحبا بكم
Or I can find the piston and cylinder
Needs more performs brothe for better videos you don't explain position on piston and rings
