Great build! Love the color combination, I got a 1987 CR500 waiting in the garage for a complete rebuild and your videos are really helpful! Thanks mate! Keep up the good work!
You’re inclusion of your mistakes makes you human and believable. Love that. One thing your really should do though is use torque specs and a torque wrench on the crank bolt, cylinder, and head bolts in my opinion. You were absolutely correct to use it on the clutch. I’m surprised you got it done in 30 minutes. That’s a lot of work. Great job.
On everything! I use a couple of them, I use your normal big boy torque wrench on parts JTR stated and then also use a pistol grip ratcheting torque wrench on everything else, it makes it not a time consuming hassle to spec everything out.. Assembly lube!
Hahah sorry bout the music 🎶 gonna have to pull the KTM motor soon and have a kx 125 I gotta build just hate computers and editing but will get back to work soon keep an eye 👁 out
@@judaslicciardello3946 For sure can't wait for the next engine build.. This may just be my opinion , but you could literally build a channel based off of collecting and rebuilding different bike engines . Not trying to pump up your ego here , but the details of actually naming the parts , tourqe values and showing literally all the parts going in ; is much needed and fills a niche while not being overly long.

awesome job bro I'm about to start a build on a 1990 CR500 in Australia. Going to install the MSVRACING Stator and Water Pump in mine with some porting
I am a noob at drit bikes, engines etc, bc my dad got sick and now we can't do the same things we did ages ago...... This helped me to know better how to build a motor, not completely but somehow.... Now K know more about these. Thanks you
Love all feed back .. been turning wrenches for years and I'm more then confident in every bolt on that bike is within a couple pounds of spec .. basically use my torque wrench just to douple check things ... lol had a couple mechanics laugh at me for buying spoke torque wrench and after truing my first set of rims prob didnt need it
Great video only thing that bothered me was when u re used a piston that had time on it after u just installed all new bearings and a crank I just rebuilt my bottom end in my 04 yz250 a week or 2 ago with all new gaskets and a new single ring wiseco piston
Last time it was bored and fresh piston fresh rebuild .. couple hrs after motor was properly broke in is when the motor bent the shift rod ... super super low hrs on piston and cylinder after being bored out
@@EbonyPope heating up the bearing is completely fine every guy does it to slide their crank in so the bearing expands while the shaft of the rod can go in what maters is if the bearing gets super heated and is spinning because then you’ll spin the bearing absolutely nothing wrong with heating up the bearing while it’s not moving like I just explained every guy does it this way so they don’t have to bang the crankshaft in the bearing which is super unprofessional.
@@Vaxzuv I didn't say that there is anything inherently wrong with heating up the bearing. But you should do it in an oven where you can control the temperature. Else you will overheat the bearing and change the hardness of the material. If it turns blue it's shot.
Lol ur like the 4th person.. bike was only a couple hrs after break in when it bent that rod years ago and was bored out to match piston .. top end still has no hrs really
@@judaslicciardello3946 That was was too much heat. Being manufacturers usually recommend heating them up to around 130 degrees C or 266 F respectively. This was way, way to hot. They're toast now. Would recommend to pull everything again.
Really good work. My only issue if one is when you heated the bearing. I think you burnt the grease . I know the puller on its own is harder but still. After that great job
Hard to tell with edit but yea grease started to smoke right away edit may look like I had torch on for a long time but as soon as it started to smoke I stopped... I don't think it was even hot enough to make a difference.. hahah but yea it does look like I torch the he'll out of that bearing
@@judaslicciardello3946 I'm clear in Wyoming. Just whatever's needed to make her fresh again. She still runs fine, just lotsa hours and maybe a bit of a loss of power. Probably cost more than what I paid for the bike unfortuneately
Great video thank you. Just what I was looking for. Getting ready to do some work on mine. My 89 500 sucks gear oil into the cylinder and burns it off. Realistically at how many points could I have a leak? Main bearing seal and center gasket for oil to get into the cylinder? Not leaking on the floor or anything, just into the cylinder. TY
89 love that year ... but yea man inless u had some crazy case malfunction ... just seals and gaskets .. I do have a video of just disassembling the motor on channel might help a lil
I teach Motorcycle maintenance and was going to put this video on the website for casual viewing right up until I heard him say "You don't need a torque wrench"
id have to check code if want exact .. but it was the high temp for motors and exuast . but pretty much any is gonna b fine for the heat of case ... call them they are really helpful and answer phone right away ..
How can I get ahold of you to talk about my CR 500 engine I have questions on when you're installing the base gasket for the cylinder head in front of the motor there are 2 ports when you put the gasket on it covers them up and the water porch on cylinder head gasket for the metal gasket why are those holes so small when the radiator ports are bigger is it for backpressure
Building a 2 stroke is the easiest thing in the world to do. Theres instructions online and millions of videos! You just gotta go for it. Challenge yourself.
Pretty sure no honda 500 have it .. Kawasaki 500 had it .. 500 has soo much torque it's not need ..power valve is more for low end power as fare as I kno .. also why I chose two stage reeds and gnarly pipe instead of fmf fatty
@@judaslicciardello3946 I think he means the crank seal around the 13minute mark, ive only rebuilt kawasaki kx 250f engines but on them the seal goes the other way so u would see the spring in back when installed. I would assume it would be the same on this engine too.
@@ericjaulin9562 thanks for response i check my old video when i took motor apart and another video soo if i put a seal in backwards that means honda and somone else did too soo im pretty sure its right .. but im just a dumb auctioneer lol no pro
Hahah if its just a motor gfi but ull never get ur money back out of it ... it's all good as long as u don't go and put it a 3wheeler lol 😆 but good luck squeezing it in Der
Uhh, that's not how you use a torque wrench bud. With that impact you could have taken them down to 50 ft lb and your torque wrench would still click at 7 ft lbs or whatever your setting was. You should know that, geez. This is sloppy workmanship
I’m sure you do good work and this is an interesting video. And I love Honda engines. But what in Satan’s name possessed you to put that awful, pointless sound loop over your own dialogue? Seriously dude, have listened to it? Jeeezus H K!! I would have subscribed and watched your other vids, especially if you work on other nice engines like this one, but I’m afraid they will all assault my ears in the same way. Please stop this nonsense.
Hahahahah thanks for ur feed back didn't kno how to edit it to be lower volume at the time .. should just edit the motor running next time lol .. getting ready to build a yz 250 next if ur ears 👂 ever recover check it out

Cool rebuild! Seemed kinda odd that you didn’t use a torque wrench on the head bolts. I would think you would want even pressure on that.

Looks awsome dude killer job on it so far 🤙
messing thoses seals up man
I hope you have better luck with the hot rodz crank than I have locked up within 30hrs on one 35hrs on the other
What are you using to hit the bearings in the trans
FYI when you get a visible color change on the steel of those bearings, you've altered their hardness.
U talkn about when I put the crank in ?

Thank you well done you make it look so easy
Lol must be the edit then !!
What does it really take to setup one of these engines for street use?
At the end,,,, that was quite funny lol

The only thing I question is the torque wrench use
I teach Motorcycle maintenance and was going to put this video on the website for casual viewing right up until I heard him say "You don't need a torque wrench"
Cr 500 doesnt have counter balancer?
Get rid of the orange ,nice job although using torque wrench on head bolts , the technic of guess normally ends in water leakage
Nice *eyegasm*
What's the name of this song your using I love the tune of it lol..
.... AND also - why no dowel pins in the bottom of the cylinder ??????
In the process of assembling the crank, the crank must be assembled with the left crank before it is easy to assemble.
That washer goes on the outside of the idler gear dummy behind the snap ring...
Which black cerakote colour did you use for the cases?
id have to check code if want exact .. but it was the high temp for motors and exuast . but pretty much any is gonna b fine for the heat of case ... call them they are really helpful and answer phone right away ..

wholsome channle thanks :))
Very good
Great work bro!! Love the Honda gloves...where can I get some?
They just had a random pair at the shop I got the shift fork rod .. guy just gave em to me so I have no idea.. lol it was a old package
Wish i had the confidence to rebuild mine. Save so much money
Building a 2 stroke is the easiest thing in the world to do. Theres instructions online and millions of videos! You just gotta go for it. Challenge yourself.
I use OEM Honda parts. The problem with Chinese cranks and bearings and gaskets. They will never last as long as OEM
Does this engine year model have a power/exhaust valve?
Pretty sure no honda 500 have it .. Kawasaki 500 had it .. 500 has soo much torque it's not need ..power valve is more for low end power as fare as I kno .. also why I chose two stage reeds and gnarly pipe instead of fmf fatty
The Kawasaki and Maico are the only ones with powervalves. Unsure about KTMs, but no CR500 had a powervalve.
