Keep these videos coming Rob, plenty of amateur mechanics out here ! I took a day to gap the rings and finely balance each piston assembly when I fitted a big bore kit, was worth it and it's great when you do things yourself.
Bro I just wanna see thank you for these videos, keep them coming. Nobody else wants to help or teach busa info they want to keep it secret like that's doing future bikers any good.
Make these videos longer. Lets talk about bearing clearance, cam timing and process of HOW (not what if your one of those guys)you set yours, dial indicator, and valve lash. Piston to valve clearance, compression ratio and stroke. Cam chain conversion, case splitting, engine disassemble and reassemble, fork wear and replace. ANYTHING--EVERYTHING. A lot of backyard boys but few to non legit. Thanks Rob, glad its cooling down out there
I appreciate the enthusiasm and interest. Unfortunately the few videos I’ve done that are that in depth and nerdy don’t do well, and hurt the channel. So I’m trying to find the balance. People just want short videos covering the main bullet points, and don’t care about the small details. You give me hope though!
I wish i could just spend my afternoons with someone like you. I've been learning small things over the years but I want to build something big. Too scared to go balls deep and just do it though. Scared I'm not going to be able to find instruction somewhere or scared ill forget something whatever.. Man how do I work the courage up to build something like a motor? And where do you guys put all the bolts for this stuff... I have a mini panic attack everytime I pull the fairings off my bikes..... You should have seen me rebuilding the forks on a damn dual sport.. I was a ocd mess
There’s nothing to it, but to do it! Get the manual, and that will get you 90% there. The other 10% is stuff like this that is specific to making power.
Ok you say the stock thin rings heat up faster. I guess I agree with that but wouldn't a thinner ring expand less with less mass? Seems back wards to me any thought on this?
That’s a great scientific was to look at it, and honestly never thought about it that way and you’re likely right. I’m just a mechanic. But what I can for sure say is stock ring gaps are too small for making big power. So it’s always a good idea to open them up when you have the head off anyways.
You talk about top and bottom rings. Are you just talking about 1st and 2nd ring? What about the three piece oil rings? Two rings and a separator. Do you also gap them?
Very good info rob! Getting super excited to see how this monster turns out!
Me 2 either

Thanks for sharing…….it’s not long winded, it’s thorough and Detailed 👍
The technical aspect of your videos is why most of us are watching 👍
keep ‘em coming mate
Thanks!

You’re very welcome. That is the very reason I’m doing these videos.
Every one of these videos of his I watch gives me even more confidence in BCP's ability as an engine builder. Thanks for sharing the knowledge
Thank you so much. And thank you for watching.

This is the kind of shit I'm talking about! Amen Jeff!
Thanks man…..have a good day too…..and can’t wait to see Joe laughing under his helmet after a speed run 😁
You and me both. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for this video…. One day I’ll be making an appointment to come down to see you..my busa needs some more HP..;)
Don’t they all?
@@BoostedCyclePerformance no it’s safe to assume once your done with joesti his won’t need more hahaha
Nice job keep on doing this videos it’s really nice 👍
Thanks for watching.
Great video. Thanks. Why did you say nitrous busa engines don't last long. Too much nitrous, or what else?
I said that because nitrous is very hard on any engine. If you’re spraying any sizable amount it’s a matter of time before you melt a piston.
Ok you say the stock thin rings heat up faster. I guess I agree with that but wouldn't a thinner ring expand less with less mass? Seems back wards to me any thought on this?

I forgot to check gap my piston nitrous setup,but I’m about to rebuild anyway,and will make them good 👍
Gap ‘em big!
Great info as always
Did you do anything to his transmission?
No, gen 2s generally hold up really well.
awesome !
When Joe STIs Hayabusa is expected to be completed
Should be running this week.
What about ring end gap position on the piston some say 90degress
Good info 👍
You talk about top and bottom rings. Are you just talking about 1st and 2nd ring? What about the three piece oil rings? Two rings and a separator. Do you also gap them?
Good question. Leave the oil control rings stock, or just slap them on if you’re using aftermarket pistons.
👍🏼😬💵
Please write the piston ring GAP
