CBR600rr Wrecked Bike Rebuild (PT 2 Block swap/Motor rebuild)

I know this is old but this is the best home way I’ve seen to smooth or resurface a head mating surface

[@ashithcalicut]

the dust particles during sanding will get into piston ring gap and seize the ring rotation and also scratch the cylinder

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

Not if you blow it out with 150 psi of compressed air...

[@lucasgarcia2353]

@@Benjamminoutdoors Thats a mistake, you blow it and it goes back to the engine, every time you send the block or head to the machine shop you have to clean it, imagine these tiny dust particles that can get stuck anywhere, specialy on a surface with oil or gasoline that can make it more hard to clean

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

@@lucasgarcia2353 dust particles can always get in unless you’re doing the rebuild in a secure and clean environment. Yeah I know I should’ve resurfaced ahead before I put it together (I did that in my current video) but after I resurfaced it and blasted it out with 150 psi I put it together immediately so no particles could I get in after that. The motor has been running flawlessly super powerful for about 3000 miles now so I don’t think that I have any problems clearly if I was a professional with professional tools I’d be doing it probably differently but I’m just some guy that’s only rebuilt three motors and I’m still learning, so I’m pretty happy with the outcome.

[@matejdivic9189]

Amazing video, but why when you unbolting the head, you just go one way, instead of unbolting the screws from outside to inside, that way preventing possible head distortion. Same thing when you putting head back, just useing opposite pattern (from inside to outside). Anyway awesome video, Thanks for putting it out, I have learned a lot!!! 🙋‍♂️👌👍

[@stevenguy2630]

Good way to fill your cylinder bores with ally shavings

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

I blew the cylinders out with 160 psi of air after. But the $200 cbr motor rebuild I resurfaced before I installed pistons like you should.

[@911soham]

when you sand down the cylinder block ( from 18:07 and onward ) little debrises may fall inside. Evantually these little debris may scratch your cylinder wall. i think you should have done it earlier.

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

I used about 130psi of compressor air to blow any debris out before I put the cylinder head on

[@911soham]

understood. that would clear all debirs for sure.

[@BigAaronism]

Damn man, I knicked the corner of my oil pan on my 07 600 on a curb and didn’t realize it had leaked all of the oil out until it spun a bearing not long after. I bought a used engine off eBay for $800.. checked the valves and threw a new set of plugs in it and threw it in. Still running fine 6 years later lol

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

Nice!

[@HDsauce32]

I’m hoping you checked the piston ring gap

[@jal1797]

Nice work man!I only change oil and filters on my cbr and bleeding the brakes.I would be afraid of doing such a job even I had a tech manual. Otherwise you could weld the hole instead of swaping the block.I.My cbr had exactly the same impact from r&g crashpads as I was crashed it and the shop fixed it by welding and shaving the block and cylinderhead replacing the headgasket with a new one and new rubber rings on the valves if I say these right.Now after 13000 km is still runing great. If you find some free time can you make a video how to change coolant on cbr because I had seen many but all they do not do corectly from the drain bolt and how to flush properly.Sorry for my bad english I am from Greece.Keep on the good work!

[@firdousahmad86]

nice job

[@FromTheGroundUP627]

Really enjoyed the vid man, very informative for sure. The only thing I didn't get is why did you decide to resurface the bottom end and head once u rebuilt it with the pistons and everything attached. Wouldnt you be dropping sand particles into the engine, either way good job bud 👍 I need to resurface mine also as I'm looking at 0.20mm warp on the cam chain side and its stating 0.10mm max clearance...not sure if that's common or not. Would I get away with just resurfacing the head only.

You shouldn't mix block halfs/cases as those are machined toghether just like cylinder head with cam holders. You got lucky, I learned this the hard way building Bandit 400. When bolts got torqued to spec, crankshaft wouldn't move at all. Nice job but this one thing is rather critical.

18:26, why did you resurface the deck after you installed the pistons? I would have been concerned aluminum oxide from the sandpaper and aluminum dust would drop into the crevice volume between the top compression ring and crown, introducing debris which could score the cylinder walls.

[@alancampbell1008]

I assume the engine you bought had some serious problem that you decided to strip both and rebuild. You should remove head bolts in the opposite way to how you showed tightening them, it's more likely to warp coming off than going on.

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

I just wanted to have a fresh build the one that I purchased was definitely neglected, but I will Definitely keep that in mind next time I do a rebuild, there were a few things that I didn’t do the way I should have but it’s running great right now and I’ll be torture testing once I break it in.

[@gogs97]

Remove - outside to in. Tighten - inside to out. Both in a criss-cross pattern, evenly. Don't fully do one bolt then on to the next, it needs to be a few turns evenly over all of them until fully loose/tight. Ben did any which way to remove, outside to in when torqueing down. Some of the comments to correct him are incorrect. Ben - good job in getting stuck in, and being honest about your mistakes. This loosen/tighten patten applies to the cam caps too.

[@Kc6spd]

A note of caution: Never wedge a tool or something against the mating surfaces to get things loose. You will damage the mating surfaces it won't seal properly.

there is no need to resurface if there is no obvious reason. And especially the way you did it can cause more harm than benefit , not to mention that you did it with the engine half assembled, so now you have all the crap inside your engine.

If you could give me a brief rundown on the process it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Its worth to repair a hole in the engine?, I read that any engine with that diagnostic will have extra vibrations that will reduce the life as time pass. I bought a 2008 CBR 600RR and has a patch in the left cylinder. 95k kilometers, and at least 50k were spent on tracks

@@afanasiy299 This initially had JB Weld on it, I don’t typically condone using that but if you can try to take the valve cover off and try to slide some thing behind it and slap some JB Weld on it then you could probably drive it for a long time with that patch on it.

You can only set the timing once you have the head on and put the cams in, You can go on Facebook in some groups or Google and get The manual and it will tell you how to line the crank timing marks with the cam timing marks.
