Before modern cleaners I often used petrol as an engine cleaner. Works great but stings like hell if you've any cuts! My budget never stretched to gloves. Informative vid.
hi bro ... i like to change rings every 4000 and piston every 8000 . change small end its pennys and its better safe than sorry .... enjoy happy new year
yes all good mate . the problem with working on other peoples engine builds is , you have no idea what was done or the milage on any of the parts . keep up good work ...@@m1scooterlife259
by the way if the barrel is tighter in the middle could be honing technique . as it spends more time at the end of the bore and less in the middle .... if thats any help
The engines I've dismantled its often the case that someone has been inside but not replaced everything as it should be ... I just describe it as a bodge up
I used to ,but you never know the full story , these days I look at it as a mystery and also a learning curve. I started doing my own rebuilds as I found it was the only way to guarantee the parts you bought were put into your engine.

Hi Paul ,gloves are a must nowdays. Brake cleaner is great too
Petroleum products on your skin are carcenogenic .
PPE is a must, you only live once, I do have a parts washer that gets used when there are a few parts to be cleaned.
