Hi Cameron. Engine looks awesome. However you need to remove that washer you fitted to the power valve lever arm. It needs to have free play to allow the arm to rotate around the shaft it is on. This is so that the arm opens & closes the power valve via the spring.
As well as enlarging & restricting the exhaust port to alter power output as you mentioned, the power valve is positioned above the port to allow the valve to change the port timing. This is the main way it alters the power output. Port timing effects the power a similar way to valve timing on a four stroke engine. In cars they call it Variable Valve Timing (VVT). So the power valve is the VVT of two strokes.

This is dope, great lookin engine Cam,
“I call this the double nut technique”
That’s great
Don’t forget that it had the “FAT HEAD”
And he’s “BUSTING NUTS”
Busting a couple nuts
That's what she said.
The amount of innuendo in this video hahaha.
Also, I'm so glad you kicked cancer's ass! Thanks for the fantastic content!
The man is back again, complete with dirty jokes ahaha
Nice!!! Im looking forward to watching! You are the only one who make a 35 minute video and it be so easy to watch the whole thing!
Lol forreal. Other channels have came an went while cams vids pop up i don't want them to end still.
I agree, I literally dread the end of the video. I love this channel!
Cameron: whats crackin guys
My engine: oop that's me
Wow😂😂
Sergey Kiz 🤣👌
Yikes
Your vids always inspire me I’d like to see a yz250 build for the next one
can’t wait to see this bike done!
Vinnie Rachwal45 👍
Can't wait to get my bike done 🤟😎🥦
You can just tell by the intro that he’s doing soo wel and is happy 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love the videos! You’ve taught me many tricks that I can use on the old stand ups I’m restoring for my channel! Keep producing the great content! Hope I can get my channel like yours one day!
Beautiful engine! That tool you're looking for is a Box end crows foot! You can get them with 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" drive ratchets, extensions and torque wrenches.
I appreciate your depth of detail in your rebuilds.
Just what i needed after a long day working in healthcare. Crazy times at work, but coming home and seeing this vid makes me forget everything. Keep up the good work!
Great to see this build again dude, really digging the RM on the channel🤘
I have said it before, but you are an inspiration dude, not just what you have been through, but what you do on your channel, I been around bikes along time, am a car guy and into my 4wd off road projects, your attention to detail, work process and explanations are second to none, you don’t take short cuts, don’t miss the small details where I feel allot of others focus on big mods, bling eg pile etc and miss little things, like new studs or head bolts, cleaning detail, the work you did on the PV parts for example, not just this build, if anyone wants to learn how to work on bikes they should be watching your vids and filming too dude, while sometimes time lapse might appear useful you rarely do that and hence allot of important steps are not missed, for me anyway as a gear head, it’s almost therapeutic to watch your builds, even though I have done it myself many times, but we learn from each other, why I watch and have watched many channels over the years, talk to engine guys even if can pick up one thing, it’s invaluable ime, do anyways dude, thanks again for keeping it Pryme, can’t wait to see and hear this bike rip.
I would love to this this and your CR250R rip around your track for a couple of laps before you give it away, someones going to win a great bike.
Grip it and rip it y’all, be safe keep her distance and right side up 🤘🔥
Hey buddy, just an fyi in the nicest way possible so that you are informed. Honing a cylinder creates cross hatching which will allow oil to stick to the walls of the cylinder for lubrication. Not really for sealing. Great video! Keep it up!!
The little play shown at 16:43 is by design to allow the lever to turn over the shaft with the buffer force of the coil spring. The extra washer used at 17:02 locked up the lever and the shaft which disabled the buffer function designed in this whole spring assembly.
LETSSS GOOOO NEW VID!!!!!!!!!
Cool vid, buddy. You just got yourself another like and sub. I do have to mention tho, I disagree with "not lubing very much when putting it back together". It should have plenty of 2-stroke oil on it when asembling to make sure engine wont take damage in case oil pump is not fully primed for the first start-up, or there is some un-oiled fuel left in the hoses in case of pre-mixed engine. Rings will seat fine anyways, trust me.
Simple and Clean. Just the way a two stroke should be. Good Job Cameron.
2:22 "I say we send it wit no piston bet that'd work out!"🤣😂
I know man I cracked up at that, I love his sense of humor
Watching you put together that powervalve really makes me appreciate my 02 cr250s powervalve setup. So much more simple.
Yo cam- idk if u have ever read any of my comments but i attempted my 1st ever bottom end rebuild on my 02 rm250. Bro my bike started today!!! 2nd kick!! Thanks for the step by step instructions. Man ur vids are gold to guys like me. Im so stoked. Thanks again brotha
Nice build!!! Very nice head with the adjustable volume combustion chamber!!!
Finally yes yes yes 👍
Stay safe in these times peps
“Yes, she’s tight now....no more second hand parts” 😂🤟
Absolutely incredible Cam. To look at where this engine was to where it is now is mind blowing! You're the best!!

I’m Curious Man,How Much Would You Charge To Rebuilt A Motor?
idk but i'd rather just watch his videos and rebuild it yourself because its cheaper and quite easy tbh. and definitely more interesting
I charge 300 +/- for a 2 t top n bottom (everything gets gone through) and 500 for a 4 t
Pretty sure unless it has collecter value it will generally never be worth truly rebuilding a worn motor to bring everything into spec....ALWAYS you would be money way ahead to find same model that has hardly any miles and has been garaged ....I mean EVEN if an old original motorcycle has sentimental value? If you can find the same model in pristine condition? Strip both bikes down to bare frame and simply transfer all the nice stuff onto the old frame....and yes of course you would have to have the frame refinished first.....same with engine if you want to keep serial numbers? splip cases on both engines and swap all the parts.....totally restored bike for a fraction of trying to restore a beat to crap bike with sentimental value....cool thing is the old parts can be all reassembled into the donor frame and cases replacing minimum parts to operate and then SELL that one to offset some costs of refinishing original frame and cases and/or paying for labor....I have done exactly this and it went quite smoothly
If you want to very easily torque those cylinder bolts to spec, you should pick up some "dog bone" or "crow's foot" torque adapters. They aren't too expensive, and are the correct tool for the job.
Dude, you’ve motivated me through my build. Not as extensive as yours due to lack of funds, but a huge learning experience. I have an 07 RM 250. Wish I could post pictures on here. Also, just learned you’re in Spokane. I’m from Colville and am stationed in Fort Lewis. Too cool. Thanks again, bro👍🏼
Mann I would have been pretty lost if it wasn’t for this video and your last video on this rm build. Thank you for posting full build bolt for bolt. I picked up a rm 250 completely broken down. And your videos made the rebuild a breeze. 🙏
This bike is going to look crazy great job
16:15ish “fuck” under breathe when things don’t go smooth. Reason why your my favorite youtuber😂😂
9:32 😂😂 I’m dead
Hot damn. That looks amazing. Couldn’t help but chuckle when you kept having the exhaust valve spring come off the collar 😂 been there with other spring loaded parts. Rage quit and came back to it later when I cooled off haha can’t wait to see this bike finished. What are you going to do for reeds on the bike?
Kris When I am working with parts like that they usually fly of into space. I usually don’t find them till just after the new parts come in the mail.
"A little tap with a rubber mallet never heart any one" bangs the shit out of it
Great video Cam! Been here for a while and loved every bit of it! We’re slowly building our shed so I’ll be able to start doing rebuilds again finally!
The power valve actually changes the port timing by raising or lowering the port height . Lower for more bottom end and raises for top end power.
Sweet!!! I'm so far behind on my 93RM250 build but it's so cool that you are walking me through!! Thanks Cam!!
Nxt to how to do things..U also teach us patients n no shortcuts!
And thx for giving that awesome bike away....U rock.
Spider-Man drops an engine on a table “wheelie time”
I've watched alot of build videos and yours are the best and most thorough by far.
I bought an 01 rm250 3 weeks ago. I'm using your videos along with a clymer to fully rebuild it. Your videos are informative and entertaining. I can't wait for the next one. Oh yeah... "that reminds me of last night"
Watched an Amphicar rebuild earlier and the pot metal door handles were heavily pitted. A dedicated plating sorcerer saved the build with magic. I wonder what defects a copper cladding would correct? A nickel finish might look good with some clear Bake & Plate Ceracoat sp? Next time I'll have it. I'm getting inspired to build my 94 RM125. Everything is ready.... There it goes, try again tomorrow.
Peace.
cameron man wow another rm 250 rebuild ,that was the cleanest engine ,thanks
Chill bro, can't wait to see bike done!!
I love how detailed you guys are with your builds you Neimela boys build some dope stuff.
Amazing work! Did not expect the brushed aluminum to look that great!
1:57 Just in case anybody is rebuilding theirs or any other similar engine and using this as a guide, do NOT tighten studs in aluminum down to "20 or 30 foot pounds", that's insanely high and you will likely snap them off or strip the aluminum, follow the factory spec. M8/ M10 studs like that especially in aluminum get snugged up to about 10 to 12 foot pounds. (EDIT: If it wasn't obvious, I'm referring to the tightness of the studs into the engine case, not the nuts that thread onto the studs. Steel nut on steel stud accepts more torque, and a stud is different in nature than a bolt)
Yep the factory service manual must be wrong bud. States 27 ft lbs.
@@CameronNiemela for the nuts on the studs? Or the studs into the engine case?
16:11 I'm dying man 😁😁 sounds like myself every build thanks for all the videos man
Aaron Oneal wasn’t sure if anyone else noticed
man great video as always. liked how you showed the parts dropping time after time. showing us no projects is ever perfect. I appreciate all the tips you always share. RM is coming along looking better than new
Don't know if its been mentioned, but for the head bolts that are in where the exhaust vale arm comes through. You can get crows foot wrenches which are mainly made so that you can torque nuts in hard to reach areas
Just when u think an engine can’t get any cleaner, then u make it even more clean it’s amazing, good video
The mix of dirty jokes and humor is one of the reasons I love your vids man 😂🤟🏽 I'm in the pnw too!
Next build idea that I would LOVE to see: 05 and up Yz125
Cameron, I have been watching your video's for a long time, I have subscribed of course, and even though this is my first comment to you, I just want you to know, you are doing a fantastic job, please do keep up the great work, I really do enjoy your video's and the commentary, you Rock!
This has been an experience for sure the kids and I love the videos such a learning experience!!! Keep up the great work that you do
Really enjoying your vids in the UK, keep em coming Cam
Cannot wait to hear this beauty run!!! Looks gorgeous!!
Amazing detail love it, probably best to use same oil on piston for fitting as your running in fuel.
Hows marred life? Well deserved .
Cleanest engine builds out there.
Wow! That engine is a work of art ! Can’t wait to see it all come together . 👍
The quality of these videos never lets me down...can't wait to take mine to this level of beautifulness! 🔥🔥🔥
16:09 that fuc had me dead. I felt your anger
For torquing down the nuts that need a wrench you need a crows foot. You can use a torque wrench with them.
1:34 - 1:47 that was rich
Cameron :" U can see the gap between the 2 rings"
Camera: " Nop, u can't ""
Your so good
Getting that sucker done! Good stuff!
I've been watching your videos and noticed how nice these engines come out or the nice work you do on everything.
So I thought , wow! you should do engines for people , I sure you'll get many customers.
that cylinder head kit is dopeee
You are an inspiration man, i loved your videos and the detail.. Craig job on this motor.. From Panama
Man the detail is great looks good let’s see some body work soon ready to see what you have plan for the body
Rad indeed.
By the work one knows the workman.
Excellent!
Yessss, i was waiting for this video 😏 you are amazing Cam!
Motion pro makes a cheap torque wrench adapter for the base nuts. 12 & 14 mm double sided wrench. They recommend using their equation for proper torque specs with added length but I just torque with the tool at a 90 degree angle so it doesn’t add length to torque wrench.
That engine looks so amazing. Really nice work. The video series has been excellent as well
Great! You're back! Missed your videos.
Lookin’ good. Can’t wait to see this bike completed!
Of course that head only fits 01&02. Couldn't have fit my new 07 project lol. Looking really clean man keep up the good work!
These videos are my favorite, I could watch them all day. I need to get another project bike soon. I just finished a polaris rzr170 that im going to surprise my little brother with. Now its time for another bike.
Cam the man! I am in the middle of a Cam style rebuild atm. Coming along great with all the details you provide making it easier in so many ways. From the tools you use to many many links and tips ... can not say thank you enough! I see a Cam restoration/ performance shop in the very near future! Pryme Racing! Think about it ! All the best. Sean
Beauty! I could do with out the innuendos, personally, but seems others find them entertaining. Don't you need some sort of sealant on the powevalve vents?
IF you want to torque the cylinder. Use a torque wrench extender. Motion pro makes one. If you use it 90 degrees to the lever to does not increase torque so no math. If you use it straight on you will need to figure that out. Read instructions for it. The motion pro one has It think 12 on one end and 13 on the other with a square 3/8 drive in the center. Looks like a long wrench. Google toqrue wrench extender. OR just wing it and use the "torque arm"
If you really wanted to, you could use a crows foot to torque the hard to reach bolts.
Id love to have this bike especially having your name engraved on it and knowing you built it. Its just one of those builds you'll never let go of because of the history
I'm pumped to see this bike done
Love these videos have been watching for years inspired me to create my own TH-cam channel🤙🏼 and start doing some project bikes
Wow! I feel kind of guilty for watching this for free. Seriously, this feels like a class I should have paid to take. So thank you! I really enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next one. You inspire me to better myself, and I'm thankful that you are doing what you do. God bless you and your family!

BUST OUT A COUPLE NUTS LMFAO
Great to see this video, its been a weird summer so this project captures my attention in a productive way that has a useful potential,....
Fittingly, the step by step explanations are synched to my wonderment.....
Looks amazing, like you said better than new. Thanks
I hope you have checked the squish clearance using the phatheads. I got one for my cr125 back in the day and it ran great until doing 5 or 6 hard laps.
Love the videos cam, good quality as usual. As for the your nuts, on the cylinder that is. Motion pro make a torque wrench adapter tool that will make your torque wrench fit on the cylinder nut in the power valve orifice.
Man this is one of the sickest looking motors I’ve seen !!! Awesome job keep doing your thing !!!🤘🏼
So clean it looks like a diamond
Once again... looks amazing man 👍🏻👍🏻
Gives me memories of the CR engine, man it looks so good!!! Be careful tho, Pastrana will want the bike for himself hahahaha
Good video bro, I can not wait to see the finished bike, I am from Ecuador and I would like to know if there is any way to buy a bike made by you, which you rebuild 🤘❤️
