- In this video, I show how to do a valve stem oil seal replacement on a Honda GL1100 without removing the heads! This sure beats taking the entire top end apart!
Service manual for the GL1100 can be found here on the Manuals link: www.blastworks.net/
Follow me on Instagram for a sneak peek of what I'm working on during the week!

Music was amazing. It will now be the soundtrack in my mind whenever I'm out riding the amazing old girl
Dude I've watched like 3 or 4 of your videos. Really good stuff. You're really thorough. But if I have to listen to that intro and same 4 chords..... I WILL LITERALLY DIIIIEEEE!!! I hear it in my sleep.... I hear it, creeping up on me when I'm rinsing my hair in the shower.... i hear it behind me when I'm driving on a dark windy road.... dun nun dada dada, dun nun dada dada.!!
That's the point!
@@blastworks lol
brialliant.so simple when you know how.I bought stem seals 12 years ago for my wing..I think its time to fit them now thanks to your very well done vodeo.Thank you from Ireland
Glad my video helped W00dpellets! Hope all goes well!
Thanks very much for sharing, just used same technique on a Honda CB175, worked a treat!
That's awesome to hear! I'm glad my video was able to help you out!
Oh man, I REALLY did not want to have to pull them and re-do the head gasket and this trick/tip will come in very handy in the very near future. Had new valve stem seals for over a year now and was just looking to buy new head gaskets. So glad you saved me nearly 200 bucks. I personally HATE RTV and have gasket making material just for these instances. We all do what we have to at the time I know, but, I am repulsed by mechanics that do these things. I've cleaned up after folks that do this and it really annoys the Fucc outta me.
Edit:
Holy crap you actually have the RIGHT Trac forks too. So cool. Only on the 83+ models (11 and 1200) Subscribed cause never can have too many good tips. Loved this one.
Thanks for the sub brother! I've been lax on posting as of late but I've got new content coming soon, including a 77 CB750 I recently picked up!
@@blastworks Cool, I have an 81 which is dual overhead cams. It's been sitting in my shop for a minute.
Thank you so much, really helpful video
Glad I could help Jimmy!
Good idea. Clamp the bolt the other side it will be levering against the screwed in bolts then. Or better still drill two holes in a flat bar.. glad I seen this saves a lot of hassle and a £50 gasket.
Great ideas Rusty! I'll give it a go in 100,000km :D
I'm happy my video was useful to you! Cheers!
Why not use compressed air to hold the valves shut? I've changed many a valve spring and/or valve stem seals using air.
That's also a great option, although if you have valvetrain issues (bent valve, damaged seat) then that method would not work whereas this method still would. I've actually done it both ways in the past.
Good, thank you.
Thanks 👍
I will be using this as a guide as I do valve seals fork seals and carbs on my gl1100 this winter, I've been riding it this summer but it smokes pretty bad until warmed up and has leaking fork seals and one carb leaks
Awesome to hear that my video will help you out Tony! Once I did the seals on mine, the smoking went away completely.
One thing to keep in mind is that with these boxer style engines, if you are using the side stand, some oil will remain up in the valve cover. This will cause the bike to smoke a bunch until that stuff is burned off. I always keep mine up on the center stand and it rarely smokes. If I don't start the bike for a while, the first time I fire it with choke it will smoke for a few moments and then once I roll the choke off it runs as clean as a whistle!
Bruh, I re-did my fork seals last year and do yourself a favor. Have the replacement Guide and Slide Bushing on hand. I replaced mine due to the wear and had to wait 2 weeks to get em. I bet I know which carb is leaking too. I re-did mine and bought new Shaft seals that do not come in Randakk's kit. They are on Ebay though from some dude in Wisconsin or Michigan. Do yourself another favor and buy em. Vacuum leaks happens from worn felt shaft seals. Do it right or do not do it at all. My 2c worth. Also I replaced my carb plastic tube between the adjoining carb with a brass one, additional cost from Randakk's too. But just call me anal, I know I am. It is not required though. You can re-use the plastic ones.
Does the rope you put in the cylinders need to be cotton? Can other rope materials be used?
This is very helpful, thank you for making this video!!
Glad I could help, Brendon!
Normally when the valve seals need done the engine needs a full decoke to remove the oil build up carbon the left bank cylinders usually the most choked caused by the bike being parked on side stand and oil seeping through.
This work was done as part of my $500 budget goldwing project. I had a bike all summer that ran perfectly, didn't smoke, and carried me thousands of kilometers. You can check those videos out on my channel. That being said, I will rebuild this motor one day! I also only ever use the center stand, so hopefully it's not so much a problem for me going forward.
I'm gonna hear that music when I ride my goldwing now
It's a catchy tune! I've had people complain about the "lo fi chill-hop beats" that I use in most of my videos so in this case I decided to write and record my own music. I've had a number of people say that the tune is a bit of an ear worm so I guess that means it ain't half bad!
Thanks again for checking out my videos Tony
Can you add links to where you buy parts? Thanks
Hey Joe, your best bet is to use something like cmsnl.com, look up your exact bike, get the exact part number you want, and then punch that part number into places like Amazon, Google, or ebay. I've had a number of people ask me this so it may be time for me to create a quick video of exactly how to do this. Would something like that help you?
I'm kinda disappointed you didn't change the cam seals too.
You should start a TH-cam channel and do things your way on that channel!
@blastworks I meant no harm in my comment. But you obviously took offense to it, and i apologize. I'm sure it would have been informative to other viewers that don't know how to change them.
Except for the idiotic music. Great video and information.
For a musician you'd figure you'd have a bit of class. No accounting for taste!
That music u put in the breaks is sooo annoying i was not able to watch ur video ! Rethink ur musical choice
Man, lose the music inbetween every comment pls. I can't get thru your vid
Then go watch something else!
@@blastworks Useful response
@@SuccessShared for a similarly useful comment. "The customer is always right, in matters of taste."
@@blastworks Feedback is the breakfast of champions. You may not have heard this before.
@@SuccessShared I'd not. I've thoroughly enjoyed our discourse. I hope you did also.
