Building My CR250 Engine!

[@andrewroberts8993]

When checking ring gap use the piston to center up the ring in the cylinder. Great video

[@2nasty]

Hydro dipped‼️ my CR250 check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/foHIYn2Haa1pr6s

[@deeotto23]

Thanks for advice

[@ChuckHaney]

Was about to post the same thing. Oil the cylinder and piston so as not to scratch anything and let the piston perfectly set the ring depth.

I love how everybody is like : When is the crf250r being rebuilt? How much longer till the CR is done? Everyone needs to chill. Your primary goal right now is getting better! Don’t let ANYTHING get in the way of that! #camstrong

[@rickfeith6372]

No F...this is a real CR

[@themittenoutdoorsman6969]

@@rickfeith6372 he is talking about the Crf250r he said he was going to rebuild for his friend in a previous video before he was diagnosed

[@milan5159]

Nice kawi

[@nobba255]

When checking the ring gap i like to use the piston to push the rings straight. Awesome video as allways!

[@thareal1318]

Can’t wait to see this build complete!!!

[@NuggahJones]

When you popped that second ring into the bore, you could see all the lube getting squeezed out, sooo satisfying lol. Keep sending it bro! 11:49

[@joshculp8428]

I’ve never been the type to really watch or get into someone’s KZbin channel, I will admit I always find myself watching your videos more than anyone’s Cam! I’ve had to rebuild a few motors myself and when I’m stuck I always look at your channel bc I know you have had to deal with it most of the time! Thanks for making the best tutorials! I hope and pray your treatments go well, for as much as I watch your videos I had no idea you were going through any of this! You can do it buddy! #CamStrong

[@ZygmuntKiliszewski]

Good job, congratulations 👌.

Praying for you man! Nobody deserves to kick cancers ass as much as you do!!

[@powerwagon3731]

I just did my KX 250 F. The expansion ring , and rails are very delicate and hard to keep clocking oriented right. My shop manual suggests circlip ends not to be in piston cutout. You can use piston to square rings for end gap. I’m now gathering up all my parts to totally restore my 2001YZ 426. Glad to see you back working , fantastic results as usual!

[@christopherzubris7559]

Sir, Cameron, I have a 1986 CR250R, Which pertains too the Bottom end of your assembly videos. I really like what you've done to the CR. Alike you I've had a battle with Cancer, 6 Cycles of Chemo and 7 treatments of Radiation. Countless hours of treatment, I went through 2 months being nauseous and lost 80Lbs. I received the CR as a gift for completing therapy. Basically what I'm saying here is I wish you well with your Battle with Cancer. Never give up biking, and cranking. Drip, Drip, Drip, Drip,. Have a great season CN a friend CZ................................................

[@paveldeveraux2729]

You are a natural kid, great job... You are in your element, keep up the excellent job.

[@cccccc5398]

That was FANtastic. Thanks for taking about the head. I NEEDED that.

[@MrSourCheezle]

Awesome assembly, i really enjoy your videos man. Very well put together

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks Shaun!

[@Urchfab]

Awesome work, awesome channel. Get well soon dude.

[@harryskinner5140]

Love you man, keep fighting. Love from Australia!

[@billwaid1834]

That looks sick! And I'm glad you are doing well. We are are here for you!

[@zackmiller1165]

That's so awesome. The way the engine turned out, and all the companies helping out.

[@bakerxcr85]

Hey cam I know this video is a couple years old at this point but thank you for making it. I put my 2007 CR250 back together with a new top end today and your video helped me out a lot

[@bryceb3796]

man i hope the rest of your treatment goes well. i am happy you can put out videos even with the stuff inside of you. prayers to you brother!!!

[@Wideopen69]

Vertex is always a great choice!

[@morkenhielm4068]

Wow this was the first vid I saw from you, great work. I hope for the best for you. I kind of know how it is since my mom got cancer 2 years ago but is now free from it. Fortunately I live in Sweden so treatment doesn't bankrupt you. You've earned yourself a new subscriber!

[@Happygrowercbris420]

Hope your treatment gos well ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lyleswan6671]

Excellent video, Thanks for addressing the lube holes drilled in piston on exhaust side theory(cast vs forged).

[@TeejtheDeej]

Keep your head up and shoulders square my dude! Love from Zimbabwe🇿🇼

[@mxthunder2]

hope you are feeling better. just wanted to comment on the circlip orientation... gap should always be facing at 12:00 or at 6:00, not where the gap in the piston is. its very prone to back out if it is not straight up or down.

[@heatherblankenship7958]

I love watching videos like this. Informational without being too padded. Also, hope to see you ripping on that bike!

[@rickfeith6372]

OHHHHHHH BOOOOOY!!!!!! I've been WAITING for this. Watched the whole 30 part series, with the motor and final assembly being the most anticipated...wanna see that thing GO!!!

[@kevinhalli4818]

Been waiting so long to see this bike assembled, looking sweet!!! Cancer sucks cheesy C##k, looking forward for you kicking it's arse and putting a video up saying you've had a full recovery. Stay strong and keep up the good work

[@fergie1976]

Hope you get well soon Cam. Love watching your videos. All the best from the UK

[@glenmourmendoza2473]

Get well soon. Ill pray for your speedy recovery! More power!

[@luckgrip252]

Man... The tutorials, things you are showing to us are awesome! That makes me feel to take my bike apart and explore, what's in there as i haven't did that once myself, but my dad does so my bike wouln't blow up

[@coreypierce4888]

The head in the thumb nail looks good on this motor

[@davide9900]

Hey Cam, I’m watching every video you’re putting on! I’m from Italy, and I’m supporting you! Can’t wait to see this bike done! We love ya’! #staystrong

[@christhalassinos5574]

Thank you for all this beautiful video's you help me very much with my CR 250 rebuild, I am a big fan of you!!!! (From Greece)

[@edoardocatelli4873]

Can’t wait to hear the sound of that beast 🔥 great job man, stay strong! Get weel soon , greetings from italy!

[@themittenoutdoorsman6969]

Beyond stoked to see this build completed. Keep going strong man!

[@rorygardner451]

Good on you mate, brilliant video, hope the treatment goes great

[@stevewilliams1797]

When you're doing ring end gap use the top of the piston to press the ring down into the cylinder just a quick way to make sure it's seated evenly.

[@Fakhrezzy]

keep going bruhh, keep strong, from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@CameraPonselChannel]

Sama kita

[@putragaluh79]

Nyimak

[@Trumplican]

this is just amazing we have all been waiting a long time to see this congrats man! An easy way to do ring end gap is to bring the piston up from beneath and push the ring until its level. And its good to use some assembly lube.

[@alexandermeiner103]

love watching your videos! You are awesome Cameron. Stay strong! Best wishes from Germany.

[@haroldleedy6868]

good to see ya in the shop and gettin it done! have tough we with ya

[@kjmahanna5138]

Love you Cameron. Thank you for always being a positive role model. Stay strong bro.

[@CJ3B1]

Great video Cameron and wishing you a speedy recovery strong man!

[@jaydenbrockington4525]

I’m fairly new and I love your videos, I didn’t know u are battling cancer. Best of luck. Stay strong

[@josephwilliams2650]

Just bought 11 raffle tickets and a pack of stickers. Wishing well with your recovery. My mother went through chemo for breast cancer and it was tough. But shes been in remission for 2 years now because of it. Best of wishes from minnesota. Also that engine looks amazing.

[@aliveli4676]

Life is good to you!we are trying to enduro with xmm250.

[@jasonhill04]

Watching from the UK. Love your channel bud..can't wait to see your 250 finished.. And its sitting next to that sweet 125 of yours!! ..hope your feeling better soon stay strong!!

[@goodboyringo9716]

Great job on the Cr250 engine build. Great attitude on the cancer fight ! Get well soon!

[@50337andy]

Just watched all your videos on this engine build up to this point but it's late here in the UK so I'm headed to bed now. Brilliant presentation by the way and fascinating to watch. 👍👍👏

[@leopoldghazanfari]

Awesome built!! Wish you the best!

[@savierashintyara1922]

Very very clean workshop... very nice to watch !!!

[@jasonprocai1020]

Congratulations on the 100k mark, couldn't have happened at a better time for you.

[@diriyunani]

you are the vlog I ever seen man!!! you are the man completly detail and clean job!! very very totally suberp!!! you are true mechanic!!

[@Vicsam7]

Hey Cameron ! Wish you the best with your recovery ! i gotta say i couldnt wait to see that engine put together ! but the oiling holes has nothing to do with cast or forged pistons... they are there to cool the exhaust bridge ! no holes, no Cooling, that bridge is gonna heat up and crack ! Your work is amazing and Keep it Up buddy ! Sam

[@kostaszannes366]

Very nice job!!!! Good luck from Greece!!

[@romeoscrying2048]

Great vids. One thing I noticed, you mentioned that when you install the circlips into the pistons, you prefer to line up the circlip gaps with the gap on the piston. Most manufacturers have a tolerance and diagram displaying a minimum distance that the circlip gap should be from the gap on the piston. For instance, my Yamaha indicates a distance of atleast 3mm for my 2017 YZ250F. Its good preference to keep the circlip gap as far away from the gap on the piston.

[@rbljackson]

nice to see ya back in the shop doing the assembly!! Cant wait to see the bike get re-assembled. Its going to be PRIME!!!!!

[@wyatt5317]

GOOD LUCK!!!! So sorry to hear about this, wish the best for you!

[@jeroenja8657]

I love the smart and calm way you assemble stuff, great video! Learnt something to😀

[@griffspeed]

Motor is looking good... Good Luck with your treatment Mate.. Hope you get well very soon..

[@johnchafin3817]

Can't wait to see that bike fully built out and running.

[@billmacfarlane4083]

Awesome vid! Just a tip...when you want to measure the end gap, use the piston skirt to push the ring down the bore a little way. It helps get the ring level quickly and easily and you get more reliable measurements.

[@coconutcreampie3795]

Really enjoying the detail in these videos.

[@dirtriderwr250r2]

Best looking engine ever ...can't wait to see it run buddy

[@aklegion5747]

Engine looks killer man, wish you could get ahold of my CR500R.. Say strong 💪 and always keep it pryme 👌

[@MotoMirius]

Late to the party but you might find it easier to put the piston with rings into the cylinder and then put the locate the piston onto the connecting rod. Loving the videos - so much to learn. Skäl David

[@justcruising9030]

Can't wait to see it running

[@LusoCMD]

Keep strong Cameron!!

[@njdownhill]

Looks Great Cam... Getting there... No rush, we are here. Take care of yourself first.

[@beachboardfan9544]

6:44 awww I saw that! Left stud was upside down 🙃 Good thing the editor flipped it for you!

[@Profabdesigns]

Hi Cameron, Glad to your up and moving about more. Still praying for you and the family too. I do have a suggestion for the studs in the cases or barrels. Per tax makes a copper based anti-seize compound. This is way better to prevent Galvanic corrosion for the steel studs and the aluminum cases. The silver your using help, but can also promote the corrosion your trying to prevent. The copper prevents this and lubricates the seating of the studs. hope this helps. Blessings brother.

[@20e01l97i]

CR 250 is back !! Blue thumb for it !

[@bradgriffith6234]

Pure perfection. It looks awesome

[@wawaron1407]

Goooooood job "Bravo"!!! Stay in shape buddy, from Portugal

[@lindenphilippson]

Cannot wait to see the bike assembly!!!

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

I prefer forged Wiseco pistons, but otherwise, 20 mins for top-end assembly is pretty good.. If by some accident you do drop a nut or circlip into the crankcase, you can allways fish it out with a magnet.

[@EDP1]

my morning is great to see you build this engine.

[@ashokraja4745]

Love camerons positive attitude

[@happycrush8129]

gonna be the cleanest cr out there, keep up the good work :)

[@CountyCorral]

Beautiful build man! That bike must be like therapy for you. Can't wait to see the finished product. All the best! #camstrong

[@francescoporpiglia650]

Use the piston itself to fix the piston rings into the cylinder at the correct height for measuring the tolerance correctly. And the rings must be pushed a bit ( 1 cm from the cylinder top) when you make the measurement bc next to the upper side, the cylinder is not reached by the rings when the engine is working and it will have kinda brand new dimensions, so push rings into the working spots to have a correct measurement. For the rest really nice video! Very well done and nice assembly!

[@nickchilds3104]

Great to see you again Cameron. I can't wait to hear this bike ring ding ding. Make sure you name it too! It should start with a C. I named my WR426 Walter lol

[@steel_city1623]

Thats one good looking engine,keep up the good work and hope you have a speedy recovery

[@Newmyyy]

Good luck Cameron. I just picked up an 03 CR250 this weekend, I love that bike

[@Rocketman1000R]

Keeps updated on your treatment, great videos!

[@andrewlopez314]

That engine looks so pryme!! Looks like a straight up works engine from back in the day. Stay strong brother, soon cancer will be just a distant memory!

[@jeremyhowell9463]

Using the piston to push the ring down in the bore is a great way to be sure its level and straight.

[@1970genes]

Good to see your feeling good and back to making vids.....

[@motocowboy7770]

Good attitude about your struggle right now you’re doing grate keep it up and you’ll be back on the bike in no time🤘🏾
