Very cool, Dale. Amazing how how are done wrong by supposed "professionals" yet yours are pretty much perfect. You seem to be the only one who chamfers correctly. Thank you as always for all your help!
Thanks for the kind words, Jim, but my work is far from perfect. I just take my time and do the best I can. I found out many years ago if I get in a hurry, I mess stuff up. Thanks for the support.
No British anecdotes needed on this one Dale. You are the master. Great work. Incidentally, the TS185 piston is the type I'll be using in my modified BSA D10 engine. The 65mm bore gives about 186cc swept volume. I can't believe I've never noticed the can of Boeshield on your bench. Always an aircraft guy at heart! Best wishes, Dean.
No problem with the anecdotes Dean, just have a little trouble figuring out the meaning at times. I sure a lot of the things us yanks come up with have you wondering too. So, you are using a TS185 piston in your bike or using a Wiseco for that bike. Yes, Boeshield helps keep the rust at bay. We don't have a big problem till winter.
@@montana2strokeracer I'll probably use a cast piston. It's a well known upgrade in trials circles, the piston requires bossing as the BSA Gudgeon Pin is a smaller diameter and squish clearance needs to be cut into the head. Best wishes, Dean.
Your machining videos must have a meditative quality about them😂 You're the only man I know who could get a thousand people to watch you drill a hole! LOL. All your videos are great Dale, keep them coming!
Dale , i can see at the back of the work bench the crank !! you must want to cut the threads after locking in the snub shaft. Cant wait wait till you get back to that job !! this was a good vid very accurate as well .
Hi Chris, actually my plan is to cut the threads before I press it in because the splines will be too close, and they are case hardened so that would just be a disaster if I ran into them, and I don't think I could get the threads all the way up either. That is how I did the mag side also, if you haven't seen the other videos on this take a look at the playlist for the RM125 crankshaft think there are 4 videos so far. Thanks for spending time with me in the shop. Much appreciated. th-cam.com/video/C5PCyQGO1Tc/w-d-xo.html
Hi there, I agree with you, much prefer cast, they are lighter and allow the engine to run at its peak. I really only run Wiseco when cast are no longer available. Then I appreciate having them.
@@montana2strokeracer Good to know. I always thought forged were better and stronger. After watching your videos and explanations I'ver changed my mind.
Frank my friend.... if that is cool......sure glad I live here, 79 for a high today, started out at 51. Had a nice thunderstorm last night that watered everything.
@@montana2strokeracer if i had to do things over i would like to live in your area, but to old and all the kids/grand kids live here. i just wait for seasonal changes here. 3 months of spring and 3 months of fall are nice.
Hi Coleman, I do take on some outside work from time to time. I try not to take on much in the summer. It allows me to enjoy my summer with my family and to work on my projects. I will be taking on some work come fall. Just let me know what you have in mind. Contact me at dsweger@bresnan.net
@@montana2strokeracer appreciate the knowledge. It’s hard to just pick up specialized information about bike restoration without experience. Between your videos & the dozens of old bikes I’ve wrenched on in the last year or so I’m building up my skills. The way you shoot your videos + explain everything really makes learning easy. I used to get really frustrated when my stuff broke or I couldn’t repair it. Now I look at it as a challenge because I know what’s possible. Some of the people I buy the bikes from up here know about the channel. You are kinda getting famous from it.

Never thought of it that way. Sounds pretty remarkable to me also. LOL!

Good evening Dale, I hope all is well
All is good here Larry, thanks for joining us.
Thanks Dale , I have had nothing but bad luck with Wiseco pistons , I do best with cast OEM .
Hi there, I agree with you, much prefer cast, they are lighter and allow the engine to run at its peak. I really only run Wiseco when cast are no longer available. Then I appreciate having them.
Thanks Dale Your videos are great I have to learn how to edit so I can make videos like this but you were above me in school for sure
@@montana2strokeracer Good to know. I always thought forged were better and stronger. After watching your videos and explanations I'ver changed my mind.
Curious, what went wrong with Wiseco?
Aa ever Dale you're an education. Thanks very much.

Do you do work on motorcycles for the general public?
