How to Resurface Engine Parts For Cheap! | RM250 Rebuild 8

[@triplec3804]

Come on Cam, lets get this thing built ! We’ve been waiting on the videos. Hope you’re feeling good brother!

[@chadvalliere8697]

Jim McDonald honestly, Rocky Mountain atv will probably donate quite a bit of parts.

[@darrellsipes4977]

Thanks so much can for thanking of me you do such good work on your Prime I have learned so much from watching your video your the reason I'm working on my on bike I sent you a picture on Instagram God bless

[@krosstsp1698]

Small tip to mark the surfaces with black or red ink/marker so you can trace when it’s absolutely flat. Figure 8 motion is the correct way of lapping surfaces. And before you even start it would be a good idea to check flatness of the glass with a flatness ruler gauge and a filler gauge because the glass tends to curve when it’s thin and you load it by pushing the item of work on it. So thick glass is better or multiple glasses and measure it first. Good job all and all

[@SammyPsk]

As a vintage motorcycle mechanic, i do this everytime i separate cases.. Works awesome, on a 2T you can also sand your cylinder head, so its smooth and doesnt leak..

[@maciekm7953]

Man you're not doing bike you're doing work of art. Thank You for all the tips you include in your videos. 👍

[@jimmadonna1436]

Everything you do turns out remarkably well! I'm looking forward to you tearing into the SF forks.

[@clarencemainjk9231]

You can use polishing compound on your glass instead of sandpaper, you can change the grit a lot easier than with the sandpaper. We were using this method on scooters and snowmobiles back in the 70s. Great video, good wrenching

[@terrystewart5225]

Its turning out to be amazing!! Someone is going to be grateful to have this after you going thru this bike!!!!!!! Keep it prime Cameron!!!

[@250race]

Very good trick. I Sharpie my gasket surface to see where the high low spots are and I actually use 80 grit sandpaper. Good video

[@robertwest9105]

from 5:04 using the steel plate, clamp those parts to the table to keep the piece from rocking. just my observation. awesome job keeping it Pryme.

[@xterrential]

Top tip for using spray glue: cover your arms completely. If you have any amount of hair on your arms and if there is any (skin) exposed when you spray, the glue will stick to your arm hair and will be a sticky mess until it dries. Really annoying feeling.

[@ThingsWithMotors]

Been patiently waiting for a video from you cam! Hope all is well, pumped for the next video!

[@hafeexius]

I love your attention to detail. Waiting for your next video. How about taking a busted up 125/150cc scooter and rebuilding it up to your standards? You'd open up your channel to a whole new audience 😁

[@albertucho46]

good afternoon here in Spain Guadalajara cameron you are doing a great job completely restoring the suzuki rm 250 greetings from Alberto and much encouragement so you can take your project to the end

[@scottyboy8868]

Have you been keeping ok dude. Haven’t seen you on here much. Looking forward to the rest of the build , take care man

[@shaneschex1038]

They have long sanding blocks out there used for body work. Rather than using adhesive and a steal plate. Keep up the great work!!

[@lukegulas6520]

Can’t wait to see the final product!!!

[@archchrisler23]

Your every next video is a thing worth awaiting for man. Helps a lot, keep it up, bless up.

[@cappe_yt9182]

A tip is to show all the tools and things you are going to use in the start of the video, alot of people might wanna try and its good to show instantly what to have/use.

[@brianrehmert8292]

Bro! Been seeing your pictures on Instagram and I am so stoked to see this engine together. Great work as always and God Bless.

[@Gervivasio123]

Cameron, nice job the only thing i remak is that you must used the dial pins on the crankcases to line it up perfect, saludos de argentina 🇦🇷

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks! Yep spaced on that one

[@cbadnc9040]

Who are the idiots that downvote Cameron? This guy is the best!

[@dixoncider7256]

I thought the same.

[@kellywiley9007]

Was just thinking yesterday that I haven’t seen a new video from you. Then a little while later I got the notification. Lol

[@kevinlepage123]

Camtastic you are the best every rebuilder should watch your videos and do it right

[@haydendouglass1417]

[@gtisid]

great stuff, i feel the need to kick a can of old oil over in your workshop or even drop a screwdriver on the floor😀

[@robertwoods2505]

Nice job as always Cam. Everything looks new!

[@dixoncider7256]

Hats off to powerseal. Nice work.

[@VlogEpicness]

I hope whoever gets the bike takes good care of it 👌🏻

[@thomasaltruda]

Very cool! Why didn’t you use the crank case dowels to line up the half’s?

[@frankkapsner188]

glad to see your back ,great video

[@ArcanePath360]

Your engine parts look more new than when they _were_ new.

Hello Cameron, always following you, very good tips, I am currently restoring a YAMAHA WR 400 F, Any page or place where I can get the engine manual? Greetings and thanks for such good videos.

[@gandhicap7844]

So much effort and so little views, you deserve more views

[@oilfieldmoto4847]

Hope all is well man, love your channel.

[@skippyguy3]

Great content 👌. Grinding paste also works perfect as well without the sandpaper glueing step 🙂

[@thomaslapan1323]

Where's the vapor blasting link Josh traxler

[@1E11evenMoto]

For my next build i hope i can get the engine to look anywhere near as clean as yours 🔥

[@jimmadonna1436]

Power Seal does great work.

[@9thgarage]

Very nice idea use a glass as a feedback plane!

[@ShaDowF50]

Hey cam any advice on what to do with a case that has a low spot about 3/4 inch along the mating surface that leaves a .025 - .003 thousandth of an inch gap below the crank housing ?

[@nathanklassen9213]

That was a minute since u posted.cant wait for ur next post. Ur my favorite youtuber! !

[@mikeshem7665]

[@patrickgagne8795]

Cameron..your vids are epic man. I'd love to show pics of the 2001 cr250r that I'm just finishing redoing. I used your vids for every step and it's turning out amazing

[@paule5812]

Looking good Cam I saw some of your IG posts it’s gonna be another beautiful bike💪🏻

[@ashtonfairhurst1240]

[@jamesrobert7155]

Now all I have to do is get up the nerve to split my case!

[@justinv9209]

You got a discount code for power seal USA?

[@danielarney9729]

Got to wonder would it be a good idea to have your plate fly cut, and or surface ground, when I use to machine cold roll steel, it would usually have a crown and edges would have slightly raised edges, I was lucky enough to sneak my cases in and use their lapping table with clover compound, but the glass idea is nice, manuals tell you to check shafts from trans on glass, never thought it would be good poor man's lapping table, or mobile, wonder if a small coffee table glass is good enough.

[@liberty5565]

Sad it before, but this guy is ridiculously meticulous. All his work is top notch. I'm surprised he hasn't built a vapor blasting cabinet. Power Seal are great guys and do amazing work, no clue how they do some of the repairs, but they can fix about anything.

[@dixoncider7256]

[@sketchyoperations9181]

is it okay to vapor blast inside the cylinder bore itself? or does it need to be blocked off somehow

[@bertgjaltema7430]

Never, ever in the cylinder bore!

[@CameronNiemela]

Not a good idea to use abrasive in the bore

Glass is not nearly flat enough. you need a granite master flat plate to do anything worth while.

[@jackheinemann1994]

Plenty flat enough for an aluminium engine case

Looking prime!!

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

Hey cam should build me a bike please i like your full engine rebuilds there bud

[@joshbassett7939]

Good advice, bad technique... Love your videos man and normally dont comment, but theres a few things that make me cringe as a machinist. Glass is actually not flat as it appears and sandpaper is waay too agressive. Just use a quality norton combination stone ($20) to lap the edges. It has a course side for the novice boogers and a fine side for a nice finish... Also use the locating pins while resurfacing the base gasket... Thats all. Thanks for the great content and useful tips

[@joshbassett7939]

Btw, I just want to clarify that im not one of the A-holes that put a thumbs down on this lol

[@dixoncider7256]

@@joshbassett7939 sounds good. I would think that glass is more than flat enough. I rebuilt my CRF450X and was very surprised on how hard the paper gaskets were to remove. I started off easy and ended up using several razor blades. I cleaned up the surfaces with green scotchbrite and the engine seems to have sealed up propertly.

[@oilfieldmoto4847]

Wow, I thought you'd gone missing lol

[@epicbagelswag]

Just a heads up from my experience, NEVER USE US CHROME FOR A CYLINDER REPLATE!! I sent mine off to them and slapped my engine back together (yz125) within the first hour after break in the ring caught the exhaust port due to welding slag on the cylinder. Needless to say, I now have to do a complete engine rebuild thanks to them. Not impressed!
