- A detailed video on how accuracy matters on thread repair, on a KZ1000 cylinder block. One M6 head bolt thread was stripped, we repaired two using Time-Sert thread inserts. Milling machine, indicating, drilling, tapping. Accuracy matters!
Love these videos, thank you sir!!!
I admire your attention to detail. Good to see these bikes getting the TLC they deserve. Keep up the good work!
Anal/OCD and neurotic. Has its benefits.
Great repair.
We installed Time-Serts on ALL our KZ drag motor Top-Ends (cyl, studs, cam towers).... If you have a set of precision ground gauge pins, find the one that fits and use it to locate the bore, much faster than indicating it in. there is about 10 thou you can play with, not all that accurate from Kawi
Nice work Tom. Only way is the right way. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
Great job on that head! I got a lot out of this video. I never thought about that hole in my tap holder, but now I know what it's for! Thanks!
1.10.24. I’ve used TimeSert’s™️ to repair stripped aluminum threads in the heads for the rocker arm pedestal bolts on a GM 3400 V6. They are a superior thread repair system❗️
very good repair last forever
👏👏👏👏 quality repair!
Excellent 👍
Those locating dowel pins are usually pretty hard and finish ground. Stainless is soft.
I did order two new pins when I did the center O ring they’re only 0.70 cents a piece. Just in case. The original pins in there were not hard. I found that weird also.
If You want a hole in the back of Your tap, put it in the lathe chuck - backwards, and grind a little hole with a diamond ball in a Dremel. The rotaion on both the lathe and the Dremel, will make sure you end up in center. 🧐
Nice video - Thanks!
I want to build a proper tool post grinder. Good idea.
Couldn’t you have centered with the pin inside the hole?🤓
No pins aren’t that snug. Best to indicate on the bore itself.
Ah, so that’s what the hole in the back of my T handle is for. Now all I need is a mill. 👍
Yea, for a center. They make a spring loaded centering tool for those pointed ends, I've seen one used somewhere on TH-cam by someone, can't remember which channel. I need to get one or more.
@@MotoRestoFL Your channel is very interesting. I trust only myself to maintain my bikes so as to avoid what your customers have to go through. I believe people overlook the lower torque specs for those end bolts. And the factory torque specs for the cam caps is wrong.
Great work, I might have to get me one of those fancy dial gauge thingy ma bobs😁
funny story, I saw the Roto-Dial on Abom79's channel recently, indicating in a Fireball vice he was machining. I ordered one like right away. The guy from Roto-Dial emails me couple days later, asking where I'd seen the device, because he's seen a recent spike in sales. I told him, of course, didn't hear anything back, but it appears others saw the same video and had the same idea to buy one.
Hey Tom, regarding your mill in your garage, do you have to constantly monitor your mill for oxidation/rusting due to it being in your Florida garage or do you have an air conditioned/ heated garage? I’m wanting to get a mill and a lathe as well, but I have an uninsulated/ unconditioned garage in Central Florida. It gets very humid in the county I live in which is Lake County.
@@lickitysplit2413 only this time of year. In the winter, with cold snaps, the mass of the machines stays cold, then we get these warm and humid days - you know what I mean. Then the condensation hits. Last week I almost had a heart attack, it was soaking wet out there and everything started to rust. It happened to @hapticgarage and he put up a short about it. He’s in central Florida also. I have a portable AC and some insulation, that day I closed up and put the unit on nuclear dry, then cleaned the equipment with WD40 and green scrubby pad. Summertime it’s more humid as you know but the temp is stable (always hot) so it’s not an issue so much.
@@MotoRestoFL yeah, I was doing the same thing on my bandsaw table a week or so ago as you. I forgot to apply wax to it and that day was when the warm front moved in after a couple days of cold weather. So out came the WD-40, green scrub pad and then coat of wax. I have pretty much decided I’m going to build a small wood framed room in one corner of my 30’x24’ shop with bat insulation in the ceiling and in the walls and put a little 6000btu mini-split heat pump in that room where the mill and lathe live.
