Really interesting to watch and follow the progress there Euan. My heart sank for you when you went to bolt in the chain guide..but helicoil saves the day, phew ha ha! 👏🏼
excellent step by step instruction video Euan, hope mine goes together as well, & I'll be checking all the bolt holes this weekend before I start assembling cheers Steve
Hi Euan, hope you're keeping well and your patience has recovered. Good progress on the engine rebuild, 2 steps forward and one step back sometimes. And where would we be without helicoils? Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, always wear your safety glasses, and keep up the good work. 🧔👍✌
Really interesting even though I am so far from being able to do an engine to that degree also it's good to see that even an expert can forget to put something in 😉 and don't forget those safety glasses 😂great watch cheers 👌👍
That’s rather interesting it’s bigger bro I guess you’d call it the gb 500 1987 is vertically split with a gear driven counterbalance at the front that input shaft balancer is new to me always liked those little cb rss’ my bro had one. Was keeping the oil industry slive lol
Not wanting to be rude or discouraging but we’re those main bearings new or used they sounded a tad ropey to me I wish u good fortune with this great little engine
I'm amazed you can diagnose worn bearings through a TH-cam clip 👍🏻 Yes, they're used, but they run smooth as butter and sound more than ok to me. These types of bearings run in oil as opposed to a greased set. They'll always sound a tad louder than a set packed with grease. It's all in the feel. As demonstrated by my rotating the conrod to gauge the feel.
@@ShooglyShedMotors I’m used to hearing a rolling element. Bearing as in your ball brg mains and as u said yourself there’s been metal thru that engine I usually inspect the races for pitting etc if and go by feel we’re those bearings dry? I lightly lubed bearing in good nick will spin very smoothly that’s not what came across in the vid! Hope it’s good
@@ShooglyShedMotors thanks for your sarcasm not so much concern more an observation u seem like a competent lad so perhaps my observation was incorrect just going by what I heard but as I wasn’t in your shed the microphone could have done strange things
I don't know if I know anyone who does not like to watch a nice engine build
Whenever Allan Millyard has a video out, I can't wait to watch it!
Nice build looking forward to the next installment 👍
Good job in fitting the helicoil with the clutch still in place
I have one of these little Hondas and enjoy your rebuild videos.😊👍🏍
Still love the fact that you show the real world frustrations as well as the good stuff.
Shouldn't really but there's something satisfying in seeing someone else making the same stupid mistakes I do, more power to you for showing it👍

Great work mate! Your resilience is inspiring!

I watched right to the end - bugger. After all that work 😢. Great save with the helicoil though
Don't worry - that happened about halfway through! All sorted and back together now!
Good progress and glad you were able to fit a helicoil insitu

Oh no you will have to split the cases again. Could be worse you could have missed out the part completely.
Don't worry - that was mid way through. I've already sorted it 👍🏻
@@ShooglyShedMotors There are some channels that would hide little errors.. and cover them up.. Love the fact you say when things don't go to plan.
