Shoutout from the United states. You are a True Craftsman.
Awesome work, really cool to see this piece of history looking brand new again. I just bought a 1971 atc 90, your videos have helped alot so thank you for sharing!
I apologize for my bad English. I like yr channel I watch all yr videos. I m a biker I like most of all videos with bikes. Excellent job and restorations. Thank you for that. A French fan.
It's not until you sit and watch these videos that you really start to appreciate that even a simple engine like this can appear complex. That people designed all the parts, and then designed machines to make those parts. People to assemble and test. All the human influences to create a simple little engine. And of course the best influence of all... the one who breathes life back into an otherwise forgotten gem. 👍👍👍
Hello, I’m new to all this you tube stuff, but when I was researching how to replace a piston and rings on a 1975 ATC 90. I came across your videos and I will say I REALLY enjoy watching all of your restoration projects because of how you do not cut corners on any of them. You do amazing work. Thank You for all your videos and mayGod Bless you.
I love these videos because I can watch the transformation from my couch, enjoy the employment of skills, learn some mechanical techniques that I’m not likely to use as I’m a wood worker (I’d have to retool my garage and divorce would undoubtedly follow) and see a fantastically restored item. Thank you for taking the time to do the video so we can join you on the journey.
This takes me back to around the early 80's when I rebuilt a Honda 250 Super Dream from two trashed ones. I found a lot of problems with Aluminium/Steel cold welding and it was a hell of a job to get everything apart. Great videos. I'm hooked!
@@RRCRestoration Yeah, they were great bikes, and super-reliable, just so long as you didn't drive them into a car like I did. Watching your video brought back a lot of memories of my only venture into stripping and rebuilding an engine, but I was amazed I managed to do it right at the age of 18.
That Valve-lapping job took me back to my teenage years trying to salvage junk Honda singles to ride on the cheap. I"m glad we've made it past that, and really glad you uploaded this trip down memory lane. Great vid as always. Cheers from North Carolina.
What a glorious way to spend 44 minutes on a Friday night - a couple of beers and the new RRC video! As always, such a pleasure to watch - the right amount of informative narration, no unnecessary music and the noise of the tools talking to us makes this one of, if not *the* best channel of this kind on TH-cam! Very much looking forward to the next installment! Excellent work man. Outstanding! Take it easy Chief! 🤘
Great rebuild, it's been some years since I rebuilt an engine, bought back lots of great memories. Thanks for the video, looking forward to the next one 😀 👍
Wow, I think my life cycle is almost complete. I started my mechanic career in 1978 working on Honda's, motorcycle's and ATC's. I retired this year. I remember how pretty these were when I would unpack them from the crate and assemble them for the showroom. You are doing an awesome job with this, I really love it. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Really enjoy these rebuilds and restorations. The last engine rebuild I did was over 50 years ago on a BMC A series of 1950's vintage! I always put a good dollop of grease on the valve collets to hold them in position while releasing the spring compression tool. Saves a lot of swearing. Keep up the good work. Bob
Hi there really glad you enjoy my videos. To be honest i usually use a bit of grease to hold everything in place but as i was filming i thought i better do it dry so as people can see whats happening.
Excellent! Tip: When replacing valve stem retainers, put a drop of heavy grease on the tip of your screwdriver, or whatever tool you are using, to hold the retainer until it's in place. Then it's easy to release it, without a lot of swearing! I keep a small can of that red thick stuff, the older the better, so thick you could cut it with a knife, for any time I need to hold a small part without a magnet.
I can't be sure, but I think I heard the Internet release a sigh of relief when we saw that old piston get replaced. I mean, I knew you weren't going to rebuild the entire engine without touching the top end, but SOME people may have been confused. As always, fantastic job, both the rebuild and the video production.
I wish I could afford, or indeed justify the purchase of a good quality torque wrench. I just use my cheap socket sets and whistle when I think I got it nailed, always makes my mate grin, lol. Brilliant work again Brother. You make great videos, and you know how much I love your almost OCD level of attention to detail. Can not wait to see this fully restored. God bless you buddy.
Always a pleasure to see you :) Yeah a good torque wrench is an expensive investment but i always look at it in the way that its an investment and if i invest wisely into good tools they will last me a life time and save money in the long term ( hopefully lol ) Really glad that you are still enjoying my videos and hope to see you again very soon with another episode.
You sir, you are the perfect example of the word *professional*, excelent job as always. I was truly happy for the new workshop and for you, im waiting for the next episode already, cheers mate!
So excited this video is finally out! Another amazing video! These always give me so much motivation to get back out in the garage and finish my project! Thanks for that!
Thanks again for sharing this video. I love your videos and always look forward to new episodes. Your approach to the projects is hands-on and thorough. In some cases, like the fibreglass of the ATC, I would quickly decide to replace (if possible), you demonstrate a solution that is actually quite doable, very effective, and therefore inspiring. Please keep up the good work! Warm regards, Maarten Paul
When you are replacing any bearing in the engine, you must heat the block And freeze bearing, with this method there is no risk of damage to the concentricity of the blocks. However, the lever press can damage it..
@M Bacon my bad i was thinking the other way, you fit the bearing into the crank case not onto the case. in that way, you're right, you're enlarging the hole and shrinking the peg. if you where trying to fit the bearing in the case, you'd need to shrink the bearing
Now people can see the importance and reasoning behind the investment you put into the engine stand . Its wort its weight in gold or at the very least , comfort level. Nice to see see you back with another part to the series👍👍👍
Exactly ;) People were probably thinking thats unnecessary but when rebuilding the engine you really dont want freshly painted and polished parts sliding around the bench when trying to apply torque to them. Really glad you enjoyed the video and i hope to back again soon with another ;)
Great job mate, this Honda engine will perform like new or even better - really looking forward to hear it run again. It'll be like a teenage boy in springtime, full of power and unstoppable! lol.
Always crack open a beer and settle down to watch your episodes, love the no nonsense and no music, another quality vid, would love to see you take on a triumph bonnie one day 😀
Setting up each shot so beautifully, the lighting is great, emphasis on getting the best view possible for your viewers is definitely not lost on me. Great job man!
All those cross head screws would have driven me mad...i would have to change them for low profile socket head cap screws if possible.... Great video as always
I definintely would've pinged those gudgeon pin retaining circlips off into a far corner of the universe if I tried to put them in with oily gloves, hahaha nice work mate this whole video was awesome, thanks so much for making it so long! Bet it took a bit of time, we are all grateful!
Haha dont worry you're not alone with that one, those shots took 6 or 7 attempts between trapping my gloves and them pinging all over the room haha! Really glad you enjoyed the episode :)
Refitting pistons into the cylinders and reseating valves has to be the worst job when working on engines. Even with the specialist tools, it's a swine of a job.
Honda did a great job on these motors. Just remember that every single part was engineered and designed with pen and paper in three dimensions on a drafting table.
It’s always a delight to watch your videos.... I so much appreciate your fabulous workmanship!!! There’s only one way to do it right and that’s the way you do it!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us! Until the next video, stay safe! Greetings from Canada!
Sadly I can only give ONE thumpsup,- bc these videos and the whole channel deserves more. If you want to learn how to do it , watch him wrenching ! Well done mate!
43 and a half minutes of nostalgia and mechanical pleasure. As ever, you have done an excellent job. A couple of points - the pivot bars for the rocker arms, if I remember, have a screw thread in one end for easy removal, at least on the SS50, C50/70/90 -- does this one? Or do you like the old screwdriver up the shaft trick better? Did you set the ignition timing? Or just the points gap (0.7mm if I remember!). Great video, I could watch you work all day. Oh yes, I did in lockdown! Cheers, Norm.
Thank you so much im really glad you enjoyed the video :) i like the screwdriver method as its just quick and easy as long as the shaft pulls out however if its abit stubborn then yes the thread needs to be used for better purchase. The ignition timing is set to the standard mark for the time being and when its running ill fine tune it ;)
@@RRCRestoration Thanks. I was just wondering as, I seem to remember, setting the gap didn't always amount to correct timing. Your videos are reminding me of my teenage years fixing Honda bikes and later, Yamaha outboard motors and marine diesels. These days,bI fix databases. Stay safe. Cheers, Norm.
Yet another great video, very interested to see the extensive use of Phillips head screws by Honda especially on the crankcase halves, really looking forward to the next instalment, top job as usual 👍👍👍👍
I can remember when I bought a set of Allen head screws from a mail order company to replace them on my 1972 SL 125. What a pain it was to get some of those screws out with the wrong screw driver. At the time I didn't know that Honda used their own screw head.
You must have spent as much time positioning the camera and setting up shots as you did restoring the engine. Excellent overhaul and top notch shooting and editing skills. Thanks!
Haha yeah, being the camera man and restorer things do take quite a bit of time to get done haha but its all worth it when i see you guys getting a lot of enjoyment from it :)
Ah what a relief to see the wonderful restoration taking place. In the times we live it is warming to know you are enjoying restoring things and finding joy in doing it and sharing it with the world. As always it is quality work. I have a question regarding the seating of the cylinder withe piston. You used a tool to hold the piston rings in and slid the cylinder over, I did not see how you got the tool out that was clamping the rings in. Maybe you shall let us know in another video. Awesome as always, looking forward to another high quality performance and tradecraft. Thank you sir.
Once again my dinner is burnt to a crisp 🤣 engrossed in the video, thought I had you on the wee screw!but no not a chance, can't wait for the next one 👍 off to the chippy 😂
I am amazed by your skills like how you can resurect an old 70,s corps back to the living 2020,s. Like in how many different carter parts this engine is build up, not as easy as Kreidler or Zündapp
excuse me for using a translator ... what appeasement to watch your videos. we would like her to come out every day. you just have to stop sleeping;) Thank you for sharing

When you are replacing any bearing in the engine, you must heat the block And freeze bearing, with this method there is no risk of damage to the concentricity of the blocks. However, the lever press can damage it..
@M Bacon wouldnt have worked, you would have shrunk the hole and enlarged the plug

Thank you very much :) Stay safe
You must have spent as much time positioning the camera and setting up shots as you did restoring the engine. Excellent overhaul and top notch shooting and editing skills. Thanks!
Haha yeah, being the camera man and restorer things do take quite a bit of time to get done haha but its all worth it when i see you guys getting a lot of enjoyment from it :)
Ah what a relief to see the wonderful restoration taking place. In the times we live it is warming to know you are enjoying restoring things and finding joy in doing it and sharing it with the world. As always it is quality work. I have a question regarding the seating of the cylinder withe piston. You used a tool to hold the piston rings in and slid the cylinder over, I did not see how you got the tool out that was clamping the rings in. Maybe you shall let us know in another video.
Awesome as always, looking forward to another high quality performance and tradecraft. Thank you sir.
Залипательное видео, золотые руки, хорошая мастерская, приспособления, отличная работа, спасибо! А в подшипники смазку не добавляешь?
Is there an alignment mark on the cam sprocket when presses on the crank? I did not see you align it. could be 1/2 tooth out
Hi thanks for the comment, the timing is spot on i triple checked ;)
You are a man of many talents. Great Job!
