      How many miles can one expect to get from. A 150cc 2-stroke that hasn't been dogged? I'm looking at Vespa with 8,000 miles with a 4-speed manual. Any clue?

    I just want to give everyone a couple tips on not just 2 stroke engine’s but pretty much anything in general. When you’re taking something apart that you’re not experienced with or you don’t fully understand take pictures and take notes. “For (Such and such) part, the washer goes on then the 10mm bolt” take photo’s of each bolt and the part before you take them off so you can look at those later and figure out how to put it back together. While you’re doing all that look at the different parts, look at how they work and learn about stuff. My Father completely took apart a V8 and was able to put it back together a year later because he found the old photos and notes

    Hey man love your vids. I work on practice bikes for Mitchell Harrison if you're into racing at all. I'm a machinist as well and I just caught the bit on metrology and piston clearance. You can still get totally accurate readings down to .0005" if you just lift your caliper to clear topside. Essentially set the piston on it's head and stand skirts up then come in from the top at like 45° with the caliper. Or as you said you can go with a mic. But don't take this as a dicky comment bro from one mech to another I know how sometimes those little tips are important! That's why your vids are doing well too man you do a fantastic job of showing the right way while explaining WHY it's right. Cheers from Temecula CA brother! Keep em coming.

    • @jordyjordan9151
      @jordyjordan9151 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also setting the bore gauge is definitely better to use a mic and gauge blocks. And converting to or from metric always multiply or divide by 25.4. Just machinist talk but you are completely capable of doing all that man. The math you're doing is well beyond the measurement technique. In other words you have too many opportunities for human error, you are doing math down to ten thousandth placement. To put that in perspective to other people, one human hair is .003 and you're using decimals down to +/-.0005 so thats 1/6 dia. Of a human hair lol so if you use that tight of numbers on math you really can't trust setting bore gauge off calliper and then doing that math to get difference. Instead. Use a 2" and a .130" gauge block and set a 2-3" micrometer then use the dial on bore gauge to set ZERO at exactly 2.130 then you let the gauge work for you just read the dial and you will have the best reading I think you get the idea. You're killing it man hope these couple tips only further your success

    Awesome video! Looking at buying my first dirtbike soon. Seems pretty straightforward maintaining a 2 stroke. My mechanic friend always tells me to stay away from them cause he claims they break a lot more often and are harder to maintain. I'd say otherwise though, when a 4 stroke breaks it's a lot more expensive and harder to repair. Am I right?

If you have not already get the Motion Pro Torque wrench adaptor, I got one and I use it for all four cylinder studs so they are all evenly torqued down and they give you a simple math conversion to set the torque wrench. Trust me it is worth it! :)

    ive ran into a problem where i got a new cylinder for a cr250 and i reused the old studs but they were very hard to get in and one didnt go in all the way and i ended up destroying the thread on the stud.
    I was curius if i should always change the studs too when i install a new cylinder
    I have also heard that the studs are only made for one time use, as if you would need to replace them everytime you take the head off.

      It’s the other way around the more compression I have the more i need a higher octane fuel to reduce pre detonation.

      In the video I said it’s what the guy at phat racing recommends with his h14 cylinder head. It allows the squish tolerance of the cylinder to be at an optimal range where I can still have high compression but not sacrifice much on top.
