Good job you checked the shaft end plays. Another tip, take pics during dis-assembly so you have a reference to look at putting it back together. Take gears off the shafts and lay them in a line as they come apart, like the parts diagram exploded view, and take a pic of them. If you loose a part during cleaning it'll be apparent when you look back at the images.

I'm relieved to see you're using the oven for the casings. And yes you need to drop the bearing in the second you get it out of the oven or what happened there with the bearing sticking out will happen. By the time you pick up the can of cooling spray and use it that cases will have cooled too much, it should be fine without the spray so long as you don't hesitate putting the bearings in.

Wasn't uncommon at all to do this type of work after the season. Grew lots, turned to basketball which paid for school, now I'm a web dev.

Hi mate, you are thorough and you are doing good work. You should use heaps more oil during assembly and not that red rubbish you used! Use something mineral based thats no thinner than 15W. Just make sure it doesn't contain 'friction modifiers because of wet clutch. Get an oil can and squirt some into bearings and spin it in. Even the bearing housings before you tap bearings in, so no chance of damaging housing. Yes it's more messy. Wear nitrile surgical gloves. If it runs out onto gasket surface area use break-cleaner on a rag and wipe clean. You know what your doing, just use more oil. I know when you fill crank it gets in there, but we talking assembly here. Things bind and get air pockets and can repel oil for longer than you think. All threads, shafts, splines should be smeared with oil before you tap them in and before your gear/shafts cover them. Even thin smear of oil on the inside of housing before tapping them in stop binding and chewing of case and even knock down tension on case. The real tip I give you are sealed bearings that dont rotate much compared to wheel bearings. E.g headset, swingarm etc. Get a scribe and carefully pick out seal from the outside circumference only. Do both sides and use compressed air and blow that shit quality factory vaseline grade rubbish out. Buy some molibdimen disulphate grease and virtually fill it 80% full. You can do same to wheel bearings but only 50% max. Cheers from Baydo .

Hi Cameron, great video. Just a few points. I would not be too worried about localised heating of case before fitting crank. Aluminium soaks up heat very quickly & dissipates throughout the case with no obvious warping issues. Also when the engine is started it warms up unevenly anyway without any warping issues. I have found that more often than not, that cranks are a tighter fit in the LH case than in the RH. So I usually pull the crank into the LH case first & assemble everything in the LH case, then the RH case usually just slides on. Some cranks are a tight fit in both bearings, so in that case it does not matter which side you assemble in, but I will heat up the entire opposite case so you have more time to slide it on before it cools. Heating up the inner race only as you have discovered does not work well. Don't worry about the heat damaging the seals as they can handle a bit of heat, as long as you do not direct a gas flame or heat gun directly at the seals.

You do good work dude. Very meticulous. Great attention to detail. This engine will be way better than when it left the factory for sure. One thing I do is locate the gasket with the case bolts. Often it's not necessary, but on those few occasions when the gasket isn't a perfect fit, this helps avoid the bolts catching as you fit them blind later. I've known a gasket to get pulled out of position and then break at that point.

When rebuilding transmissions it is very important to know that the thrust washers have a barely noticeable chamfered edge on just one side. Same with the spline washers and circlips that go on the shafts. The chamfered edge always faces towards the thrust load side of the gear or bushing. If installed incorreclty it will still seem to shift smooth and mesh correctly, but it could eventually cause premature failure or overheating of the components and anything they come in contact with. Nice build! I really like that engine stand!

Lol. I had a lot of trouble telling which washer went where when I did a similar rebuild on a CM250c. None of the manuals were clear on which washers went where, and if you swap any of them you will end up with problems. Everything is done to spec on those engines, so when you take them apart use calipers to measure washer thickness and record where it came from. That way if you mix them up or lose them you can easily get it sorted out. Nice rebuild setup you have there. Very clean.

Rebuilding an XR 200 a few years ago I followed the book and was determined to get a click-click out of the engine.....new crank/piston/etc and on break-in I still had the clicking.......ran the gap on the rockers several times and still had the click. The engine had never been apart before and buttoned up nice. To make a long story short...it had come from the factory lacking a thrust washer on the end of the rocker shaft. For 73 cents I got a new one from Honda and the click went away. Crazy things happen!

I know what your going through first hand. My 2002 Xr650r was actually missing a few thrust washers and the dogs were pretty worn causing the bike to “automatically” shift from 2nd to 3rd gear under heavy throttle. Dangerous to say the least. It’s amazing how a few $3.00 washers can hold up a build. Or O-rings for that matter. Good luck bud

Nice and clean build. It´s important to check everything when assemble and not be in a hurry. One washer missing can end in a ruined engine or several crushed gears. Put some grease to the inner race of the seals, or else they can burn up.

As a young mechanic I ate an entire engine/trans R&R because I think I put a thrust washer on the wrong side or something ....was a hundred years ago so ...anyway I LEARNED to double triple quadruple check! Because that is OUCH! I mean I put the entire bike back to together and test rode it before i found out! Waaaa ....had to take every fricken thing back apart and split the cases and reassemble ...at least it was all nice and clean! After less than 2 years of professional wrenching? Being SCREWED over by shop labor charges with them taking half and the ULTRA stingy "flat rate" schedule Kawasaki had at the time? I knew there HAD TO BE a better way to make a living ...turns out there are LOTS of better ways to make a living! Take for example Kawasaki flat rate to Remove and tear down a Z1 (900cc inline 4 cylinder) ...EIGHT HOURS! I shit you not ..EIGHT HOURS to pull that big ol engine, remove the entire top end, split the cases and then reassemble it all running again ....EIGHT HOURS...yeah maybe in a FACTORY with all sterile brand new parts and air tools galore hanging with the right sockets in each one ...and after someone learned it for a while...but a filthy motor? You have to super clean first! Lock tighted together? with the inevitable stripped threads and broken screws just trying to get the thing apart?...I HATED warranty work! You had to cheat to sort of break even and create some fictitious non existent extra problems you had to fix on warranty ...which I mean is wrong but? you know? And the shops? They loved to be kind to customers at the mechanic's expense ...how would YOU like to repair several flats and/or install new tires? For FIVE BUCKS wheel ON BIKE? (drop everything rush jobs btw) ..The ONLY breathing room was the non warranty diagnostic and repair ....well and servicing still really new bikes made good money on services and non warranty repairs ...but the tire changes and warranty repairs were just KILLERS! Also being interrupted all the time to come up and help the parts counter idiot work with the customer idiot trying to buy parts for his bike...they had no idea what to call something and forgot what it looked like etc ..."Doug could you come out here and help us" ...Sure I get paid ZERO dollars an hour for ANYTHING but work orders ....but SURE let me just drop everything and help out ...what I live for.....NOT....

Draw the general shape of the crankcase on a piece of cardboard, and poke holes where the bolts go. As you disassemble, push the bolts in the holes until you assemble. That way you don’t have to guess where they go. Can do this with side covers as well. I keep the cardboard mockups in my shop for reuse.

I believe you might be actually warming up the bearings slightly by spraying them IMHO. I use dry ice or liquid nitrogen as an A&P Mechanic on aircraft but I know that's not readily available or cheap for most people. Don't even stop for a few seconds like you did in the video before installing the new bearings, they have to be installed immediately after coming out of the freezer, same with the covers coming out of the oven. Work as quickly as you can & don't use pliers that are at room temp. Put the crank tool, pliers & any size matching sockets or bearing installation bushings in the freezer with the bearings. Your pliers are transferring/conducting heat into the bearings if they're not as cold as the bearing you're installing. Most bearings should drop right in place but if they don't drop right in use a socket or bearing bushing installer tool frozen at the same temp as the bearing to push it in place as quickly & straight down as possible. Hyd press should not be needed if you clean out the bearing cavity real good. Use a 3M Scotch-Brite 37448 Ultra Fine Pad by hand to remove any built up gunk & try not to remove any metal using light pressure only when cleaning out the bearing cavities. Keep up the great work. I hope & pray you get well soon. I would love to see you rebuild & restore a Honda CR500 also in your future videos (I have a 91 & a 94). I'm sure you'll get a lot of views!

Great work Cameron.. Just noticed the gasket covering some other holes rather than the case bolt ones. Check with the manual that it is not covering any oil passages or something. Keep up the nice videos going...

If you don't have a special crankshaft puller and dont want to spend 80 bucks on it, just put 3 out of 4 engine mount bolts in and start tightening them down evenly in a circle with very small increments. it will draw the case halves together in the same way

It is really easy to rebuild a bike transmission, did this on my old moped. you have to pay close attention to the spacers and stuff like that because if you get it wrong you might end up with a transmission that won't shift.

Dont forget that the washers and c clips on the transmission are supposed to face a certain direction. Each one has a flat side and a rounded side. Not all of them face the same direction.
