Really enjoy watching this series. Your style is targeted at the audio learner. Someone who learns by listening. I’m a visual learner and we don’t get to see you actually do any of the work. Just intended as food for thought
Glad you find these latest videos interesting. All my videos up to the last few are visual, showing every single action. These last few don't show the action as I only showed it a few videos previously. The work covered in the recent videos is just a recap. To see the action of all of the work completed in the last few vids on the T160 look at the videos previous to these last few, entitled 'Triumph Trident T160 Rebuild parts 1 - 115' (!) and you will be able to see all the work being done in great detail. (Before the videos on starting the rebuild of a Norton Commando engine - also showing the work being done). The later videos show the top end being rebuilt. 👍
@@Chris.rooke150 Thanks Chris. I will be sure to go through your back catalogue. Just want to stress I didn’t intend to be critical. Only intended as feedback. I’m used to more modern Japanese or BMW machines but your engine is quite iconic - hence my interest
Getting close now Chris, we are excited to see if the smoking issue is resolved - I hope so. I was thinking to myself, how informative these videos are and the amount of work you put into them, awesome work my friend! You can also see in this rebuild series how you stop and have components assembled and then continue on vs. the method of each detailed step. Both are of great value.
Really enjoying following along with you... . When i get to that stage i always compression test the engine just as a record so i can see where its at before fire up . And i use the spinning over to send oil up to the top end .. i usually use a pipe or connect the oil cooler up as i dont like the way you let it pour engine oil all over the fresh clean engine 😢... Also take that red tape of the leads that go to ground .. 😲 Use green or black or none . That's the ocd in me ..😂 . Good job otherwise plenty of really good information . Looking forward to the start up . 👍
Well this is the second time I've reassembled the top end as the engine was smoking after the initial rebuild - but I think I may have to do a third rebuild! 😏
@@Chris.rooke150So what's going on? Was it a smoker before it was handed to you? What has changed? I know you thought the honing was slightly suspect but had the cylinders been rebored as part of your refurbishment? I'm sorry, I haven't watched the whole series of videos on this particular bike.

Thanks, I didn't take your comments as criticism, glad you enjoy the videos. 👍

Thanks for that, some good advice - but note that the bike is positive earth, hence the red tape on the earth lead.

So, did you get to the bottom of the smoking problem? This must be the third time you've reassembled the top end.
