Digging the content, well done sir!!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Thank you Brian!

[@daviddesotomayor9975]

Love all your work! - thank you for sharing! - wonder if by chance you’d know a different place to get the 650 piston rings

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

There is a Canadian seller on ebay who has them. If you simply search "gl650 piston rings" they will come up

[@OffWeekGarage]

What were the piston ring end gaps supposed to be? Truly appreciate these videos, this will make my current build much less of a struggle.🙌

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

That I don't recall off the top of my head. You can find the service manuals digitally on the cxforum or cx Facebook pages. Sorry I can't help more

[@OffWeekGarage]

No worries, thanks for the response!

[@aksharrao789]

Noiiiice work!!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Thank you!

[@TR5T]

just curious as why you went with stock pistons and rods, great built.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

There are no aftermarket options available

[@HowdenDaniel]

Great informative tutorial. I used it to build my CX engine. I noticed you used washers on your socket head bolts. Do you find it doesn't chip the paint if you do that?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Oh man chipping paint is a never ending battle. I always prefer washers and yes thats partly why

[@daymartinezsierra2179]

Execelente dia algun proveedor para conseguir piezas de estos motores Saludos ..

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Hello, I list my parts suppliers in my description

[@peterfowler4538]

Kick asssssssss! Bhb4ever!

[@shanekelderman1457]

Where did you get the conrod bearings for this guy? Those 650 conrod bearings are unobtainium!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I reused them as they were in good shape, micd out good, and yes...cant find any

[@kurtlynch]

Where are you getting your rod berings I've looked all over. Also the piston rings?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I had to reuse the rod bearings. The rings I should have linked

[@usernametexasims]

Sorry if I missed it, but what assembly lube do you use?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

No worries. I just use a basic high moly content engine assembly lube from any auto parts store

[@andrussbmwe]

Is little crank walk normal after installing the crank on that motor?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

There will be crank thrust on any engine. I believe there is a spec for it but I don't know how much by memory

[@ColbyRasplicka]

Where did you say you got the piston rings? You said a guy off eBay in Canada? Do you have a link to his store?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Here is a link to an active listing of his www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CX500-GL500-Piston-Rings-x2-Sets-STD-Standard-Silverwing-13011-415-003-/363704128737?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

[@chrisstaylor8377]

How many miles would that engine have done befor the rebuild ?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I do not known the mileage it had before I got it which is why I tore it down. Being a customer bike I needed to be able to give him piece of mind and a clean starting point

[@gabefoster8620]

Where can i find these? Its unavailable everywhere! Tryna rebuild my gl 650 and reatore it but no parts are available anywhere

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Which parts specifically? I linked where I get the bulk of my parts in the description. Beyond that it is simple exhaustive searching.

[@nowde2491]

First :)

[@luiscardozo0000]

the amount of assambly grease is too much better change the oil right away

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I'm sure if I used less there would be the same comment saying it was not enough. Engine is fine and not my first engine rebuild.
