Dude, you're literally the only person on youtube that has shown a full teardown/put together of the cylinder head/valves etc - THANK YOU! I'm on a never ending quest for combustion on my old honda 90 and finally noticed that my valves don't seat worth crap. For sure going to try to lap them down, awesome!
Very good work and excellent video. We have two 68 CT90's I'm going to tear down and repaint (finishing up our 65 Yamaha's now). Love how the Vapor Blasting turned out. Might need to get a quote on doing my two engines (rebuild and all). They run fine, shift fine, but smoke a bit. That would allow me to focus on painting and refinishing.
Thanks for the feedback! Check out my Facebook page for my vapor blasting service. Just search JPS vapor blasting on Facebook. I’d love to help you out!
I watched this several times and the one thing I wanted to see, apparently was skipped in the video. I never saw the Timing chain tensioner spring and piston installed. My CT-90 skipped a tooth on the timing chain as a result of removing the bike by myself from the back of my Toyota truck. Apparently when the front wheel bounced on the ground, it was enough to cause a whipping action which caused the timing chain to skip one tooth. The spring to me, seems very weak, not much stronger than a ball point pen spring. Can you confirm only one spring is used or are there two? I have a 1971 CT-90 with the high/low transmission.
Hi I like your video, I am working on my engine honda ct90 trail 1973, So could you recommend there can buy new seals for engine, Cuz I bought already but they doesn’t fit! Please put list of parts you bought for rebuild your engine! Thank you!
Not sure, I’ve seen guys advertise full rebuilds for $1300. I do them for customers with vapor blasting service to make it look brand new for significantly less than that.
It was awesome. When did you put in the chain tensioner adjuster? Is it better to do it after the head is installed or before so it does not fight you?
Thanks Tom! I put it in after the head is on and torqued down, that way you aren’t fighting against the tensioner trying to get your camshaft installed
I just suggested that on of my on line CT folks go check out this video. I put my engine together a few days ago and even though I have done this years ago, I had my laptop on the bench with your video as my step by step guide. The very best video out there and I watched them all. Do you do Vapor Cleaning as a service? I have an S90 project in the wings. Thanks again!!!!
@@tomcook1546 i really appreciate that Tom! Thanks so much!! I do offer vapor blasting as a service. Honda engines are my favorite to do! Check out my Facebook page: JPS Vapor Blasting to check out some of the work I’ve been doing. Feel free to shoot me a message on there if i can help you out in any way. Thanks again for the support on my TH-cam channel!
Great videos on this CT90 engine teardown and rebuild. There's no way that all these cases, and covers are just vapor blasted though. Looks to me like there was some repainting. involved.
You should do some research on vapor blasting. The only thing that got painted on this engine was the cylinder painted black. Everything is raw aluminum that was vapor blasted.
I’m up to speed on vapor blasting, thanks. I’m not sure I follow what you’re saying though. You took them down to the raw aluminum? The cases had pretty severe oxidization, and paint loss. So you used the vapor blaster to remove the paint, and left them unpainted? They’ll oxidize. I strip cases like that, sand down the oxidization, then repaint, and coat with 2k.
@@MrTapes the use of an aviation grade corrosion inhibitor prevents oxidation. This video is 2 years old. That engine was never ran, and is still sitting on my shelf - corrosion and oxidation free.
@@TynkaTyme I haven't seen vapor blasting before but that looks like a brand new engine now. I came to the comments to confirm if they were all new parts or if i missed something.
Hey buddy, I gotta 1966 Honda S90. What’s a good type and weight oil to use? I saw some other guy on TH-cam saying to use the Shell Rotella 15w40. Isn’t that oil a little heavy?
I’ve never worked on an s90 but I’m sure it’s the same engine, or very similar. The CT90 says SAE20 below 60 degrees or SAE30 above 60 degrees. Can’t go wrong with what’s stamped right on the side of the engine. Lol
@@TynkaTyme yeah it’s basically the same motor as the CT90 if not identical. The side is stamped SAE30. So what’s that mean? 10w30, 5w30, automotive oil?
@@brettabraham4949 no you’re looking for straight SAE30 oil. Keep in mind you’d need one compatible with a wet clutch. They make specific oils for motorcycles so would recommend going that route.
you made same mistake every one that dont know the trail 90 alt side cover is a different gasket the drain for high and low gear box oil will run oil on the ground every time even gasket maker make the wrong kits

just got a ct90 1964 that needs work, wondering who you got parts from. good content. Thanks
Dr atv. I believe he’s only selling strictly on eBay now
Just getting ready to put mine back together...thanks so much for posting this video, it helped me out a ton.
Nice! Glad i can help!! She’s gonna purr like a kitten!
New to the channel at work so I will watch more videos when I get home take care
I like anyone who uses the phrase, " I reckon".
BTW, what restaurant is missing its stainless steel prep table? Makes a darn nice work bench.
No restaurant. Those are moduline cabinets i found on marketplace for a steal! Highly recommend!
Wondering who you deal with for parts. Am restoring a 1968 CL90
Do you rebuild those motors for people or just your own? If you do what do you charge?
Can you link where you got the Allen head replacement bolt set? Thanks
That piece of wood on the valve literately came off the block of wood it fell out on.
🤣🤣🤣 that’s hilarious.. i see it now. Don’t know how i didn’t catch that when i made the video🤣🤣 good catch
@@TynkaTyme Other than that, great video. 🙂 Now I just need to find me a nice 90 or 110 to rebuild.
What about the valve guide clearance with the valve stem.
At 19:49, what is that thing next to the hole where the shofter assembly goes into? Mine seems to be missing that but has a hole for it, thanks
Tynka Tyme, how was the cylinder, what prep did it need, did you hone it? thanks.
Yessir, this one was in good shape and just needed honed.
@@TynkaTyme thanks!
Can you please post the Amazon link for the spring compressor. Thanks.
Very informative. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks nick! Be on the lookout for dirtbike giveaway once i hit 1k subs! Make sure to ring that bell so you get notified when the video drops!
Approximately, what would a Honda shop charge to do a rebuild like that, including replacement of worn transmission parts and labor?
Not sure, I’ve seen guys advertise full rebuilds for $1300. I do them for customers with vapor blasting service to make it look brand new for significantly less than that.
Good Video 😎
brother help where can I get genuine parts
Dr atv.com
Perhaps I missed it but did you hone your cylinder?
I did hone the cylinder. Did it off camera though.
It was awesome. When did you put in the chain tensioner adjuster? Is it better to do it after the head is installed or before so it does not fight you?
