I used to run Toyota 5 speed gearboxes in my small block falcons years ago and used those type of bearings on the input shaft and the front of the lay shaft to strengthen the box they never let me down and lasted years. We have a great bearing supplier for bearings like superblend ones for triumphs and Norton cranks in Ch-ch NZ
Wow that flew over because it was really interesting. Your machining skills are spot on. Regarding the hardening of your bush it may pay to temper it back to stop it fracturing . Cheers Richie 🇬🇧
@@PhilsWorks Nah too old mate , I subbed when I saw what ya were doing with the Howard...remember seeing them several decades ago on my many travels round Oz. I'm happy just to watch ya do what your doing with it , easy enough to understand and relaxing as well...onya.
Hi Phil, as you know I have been working on these engines since 1980. These engines are 1264cc or 77 cu inch. The reason the flywheel is lighter than a 1340 is because they had an external cooling impeller which you must replace. If those metric bearings are not as good as Timkin or RHP, they will get smashed and remember the conrods are very weak and will snap if over reved. The right bearing should be a roller MRJA 1 1/8". Correct piston clearance is .005" and ring gaps are .018". I'll keep following your build and you can email me if you need more info.
I recently saw a parts Howard v twin engine on marketplace around that $500. The engine is making great progress, can’t wait to see it finished and running.
I was lucky when I built my bike where I lived there was a old garage who used to be the Howard dealer and I was able to buy all the parts I needed they of course were new old stock
The amount of knowledge you have is insane
Don't fact check me please! haha
Very cool build Phil!
Super interesting to learn more about the Howard’s too
Thanks mate! Fascinating to learn about how little an engine needs to run hey haha
You my friend are a lot smarter than I thought. I love watching this come together
Thats not much of a compliment but thanks anyway.

I might have to give them a go in the future! Machining bearing adapters like these are time consuming!

I didn’t make it that hard! I’m not worried about it fracturing! I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t soft and crush under the load!
Great video as always Phil. Patiently waiting on those shirts mate!
This is the kick in the ass I need! thank you mate!
Well I know I'll never be doing what you are doing but ya really threw a good vid together Phil , thanks mate.
You'll be surprised! Might come in handy somewhere else!

Keep up the great work mate your videos are very informative
Much appreciated! Thanks for the support
Very informative as usual, & a great tip on quenching with old diesel oil , it definitely seems to work 🤗✌
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
when will we get a update on this build? can't wait to see it done
Yesssss I know need to get back into it. As you can imagine I have 35 projects on at once so we will get back to it soon

She will be fine. Thanks mate

I have bought a few basket cases since my first video on the Howard. I have a few future ideas for bikes!

Yes if only these places were still around haha!
Good stuff at last an Ausie building VTwins on TH-cam. Keep em coming m8 yours Brendan.
More to come! Cheers!
Phil you are the only chopper builder with no tattoos. what's up with that ? just kidding!!
I have tattoo’s! Just don’t need to show them off to look tough 😂
@@PhilsWorks good answer 😂 hahaha

No but Ill double check and get back to you
Fkn; Unreal as Always Phil, Your not the only bike builder I follow on Utube
But your the Best Mate;; From One Cane Toad to Another--- FK YAIR
👍✊😎
Legend! Cheers!
Bit rough with the measuring tools
I’ll have to get you to do it next time.
Word of the day is "thing".
