Finally putting the engine back together!

[@SilverWedge]

I gave it thumbs up before it started and I was right. I like the subtitles. Thumbs up for the production, camera angles, lighting, etc. Thanks.

[@AlbRider03]

Damn you saved me alot of work , I thought if i have to split the engine like you did I thought i have also to remove the flywheel 🤯thank god i saw your video just in time🙏🏼

[@MrAdam8419]

Glad you continued this build thanks for the vids.

[@stephenauty2402]

Might be an idea to turn the engine over on the lift (no plugs) with the starter motor to check the oil is pumping to that rear cylinder. I'm sure it's going to work this time but it won't take long to rig up some leads to a battery. Amazing perseverance..well done.

Hola amigo saludos desde Colombia Exelente video muy buen trabajo ahora sí va a quedar muy bien tu motocicleta

[@itsdotincdot]

I like how you include a time summary for the work on each portion of the project. I don't recall you doing that on your earlier videos. Looking forward to the final assembly and next test run. :)

[@fuggit4319]

Enjoyed the subtitles on the longer/time lapse sequence 👍

[@jishh]

Top work! Looking super clean!

[@namepassword2106]

If you use Hylomar to seal the engine casings together, you don't need gaskets or RTV. Also if you have to pull the casings apart again it is easier and you never have the problem of stray RTV pieces getting into an oil passage and causing oil starvation.

[@chiefpepdesign]

Thanks for the tip. I never have problems getting the old gasket out though. But thanks!

Yes I like the subtitles ... and your choice of music too! Welcome back after your two week break.

Damn i enjoyed this video, nice work! And new music on videos works great. Keep good work up chiefpep 👍

[@capitanknightfilms3986]

Great video! Just wandering if you aligned the pistos rings correctly as in at 12oclock and 6oclock oposite away from each other. Just saying. Keep rollin!!

[@chiefpepdesign]

Yes. I do that always

[@vladshap]

The anticipation is at all time high!

I have been waiting to see this video checking every day. I like watching these vids of yours mistakes and all.

[@ronaldwestland]

Zoals jij die motor weer in elkaar zet maakt het lijken of het super eenvoudig is... Maar ik weet zelf dat er veel voorbereiding en lezen aan vooraf gaat. Super video weer en ik hoop.voor je dat hiermee alle.problemen verholpen zijn! (Ik wil graag nog een keer langskomen zodat je het uit elkaar liggende xv1000 blok kan bekijken...) gr Ronald

[@chiefpepdesign]

Valt mee hoor. Wat ik nu deed is weinig tot geen lezen omdat er geen heel duidelijke volgorde of timing aspecten zijn. Ja alleen het kettingtandwiel maar die heeft een duidelijk merkteken die ook op het andere tandwiel zit. Dit blok is vrij eenvoudig om aan te sleutelen als je het vaker hebt gedaan.

[@markhorton7013]

Another great vid ChiefPep.... have to say I was a bit nervous watching you slip the cylinders down to the con rods thinking to myself 'please I hope the pistons are in the correct orientation' as you fitted the pins. But I relaxed knowing you've rebuilt this engine before and know it very well. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@Uncle_Chuck]

Done a great job mate

[@petervdp8911]

Je video,s zijn erg leerzaam en ik kijk uit naar de volgende.

[@scottishbybirth8436]

Looking forward to it running. 👍

[@specialse]

liked the subtitles ( music a little modern ) can i suggest for your tool kit a clutch locking tool ( EBC do one ) so you can torque up the clutch nut correctly , and also a proper automotive ball peen hammer and not a wood work hammer. and another piston ring compressor is needed , you will use it again . very much enjoying the progress , this time all will be well .

[@chiefpepdesign]

Totally right. Need them all. This time did it 'the old fashion way' because of these missing tools. You know the feeling 'want to continue and not want to be stopped by missing the propper tools'...

[@specialse]

Some times thats a good reason to stop ? i know we dont all have the correct tools for every thing but if it helps with an XV build and its the correct tool , i get it , many people look to these videos for inspiration , the correct way when teaching is maybe best . i say all this as i love my XV,s

Hello, Great your videos, very well even without the translation it is easy to follow. Small question, I redid the segmentation, of my virago 750 1982, I did not need to open the casings and I still have in my kit of replacement gaskets, 5 red o-rings of small diameter (12mm thickness 2mm) which were with that of the lower cylinder ... Any idea of ​​their locations? thank you for your reply.

[@chiefpepdesign]

These rings are for inside the engine when you split the gearbox. Also you sometimes find them between at the sidecases. They are seals for oil routes which go through the engine halves. You always can find these anwers at the exploded view www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-xv750-virago-1981-b-usa_model8837/partslist/#.X8OOIGhKiUl or your (Haynes) workshopmanual.

[@zebuhlon1]

@@chiefpepdesign Thank you very much, so I can continue my reassembly of the high engine quiet. Thanks again.

[@chiefpepdesign]

@@zebuhlon1 I think so yes. For ease of mind you can always check the exploded view of the part you are working on just in case. I would always do that.

[@dreiandy3775]

your video is very helpful. ive been riding my virago535 for two years now. cant always fix the leaking on the oil filter cover even though i did change the rubber o-ring. whats the other way to fix the problem? thanks

[@chiefpepdesign]

Hard to tell. Sounds like the surfaces aren't flat anymore and thus don't shut. I see a lot of Virago's with liquid gasket there. Otherwise try that.

[@dreiandy3775]

@@chiefpepdesign thank you for the tips. ill work on that.

[@homersimpson2620]

What holds the oil pressure valve in? Is it the other case half? You didn't seem to check in the video

[@chiefpepdesign]

Yes. It exactly fits. The case holds it in place.

[@seonspeksi]

Hello. I have yamaha xv 750se 5g5 1981 model and now there is head gasket replacement going on. I bought gasket set VG284 and the head gasket thickness is about 4mm. Cylinder track is about 2mm deep. The head gasket material is somekind of white chalkstone I think. Do you know can these gasket get pressed about 2mm or my gasket is too thick? How about cover bolts do I have to by new cover bolts for my yamaha xv 750se 5g5? Do you know are there bolts stretch model? Whats is real torque for cover bolts? Thank you chiefpep 👍

[@chiefpepdesign]

I believe I don't understand most of your questions to be honost... Gaskets are supposed to be pressed together. That's why you also need to replace them once used. I have never heard of 'stretch model bolts'. For the torque specifications I always refer to the Hayens workshop manual.

[@antondiaznojrin4350]

hello, I see that it does not put anything between the cylinder and the cover (the valves) I say a joint, could you tell me if it takes something and the regulation of the valves, the measures

[@chiefpepdesign]

I am sorry, I have no clue what you are saying or asking... Could try to explain?

[@garajulfaragaraj]

Hi friend, I am having some trouble with the chaing guide (the one that you put in at minute 09:00 ), The rear cylinder was making a ticking noise and after further inspection I have saw that the top part of the chain guide is gone, probably somewhere on the bottom of engine. My question is: I need to take the engine out of the frame to get the cylinder head out so I can replace that guide? Or is there any other way? Also, is that guide hold in place by any bolt? Thank you

[@chiefpepdesign]

That guide can't just be 'gone' or fallen off. It's a pretty short guide. Perhaps you think a top is gone but it's not. One of the two guides is loose on the top and gets pressed by the chaintensioner. That's the round cap that you find on your cylinder with the screw on top. The other cap has nothing under there. You can put your finger in and feel if the chain tension is ok or loose. You press the other tensioner. The one tensioner is being held by the cylinder head. Often a job that doesn't go well instantly or wrong if you put the cylinder head back on for the first time. What makes you think this part fell into your engine?

[@garajulfaragaraj]

Chiefpep Chiefpep I inspected the rear cylinder further and basically on the right I have a shorter chain guide that is moved by the tensioner and on the right side (side towards the front wheel) should be a longer chain guide that goes into a groove on the bottom of cylinder and on another groove on top of cylinder. I saw clearly that is too short and the top was “broken shaped” so I took the engine cover off and I can see the broken tip of the guide in the lower groove where the guide should sit. So, my question is now: Is there any way to install a replacement chain guide without taking the engine off the bike? Thank you!!

[@chiefpepdesign]

@@garajulfaragaraj yes. In that case you will have to take out the engine and take off the cylinderhead. Hoping you can take out the broken piece. If so, you can put in your new chain guide and reinstall the whole lot.

[@garajulfaragaraj]

@@chiefpepdesign Hi, as an update: The broken piece is out, tomorrow I'll put the head back after replacing the cam chain guide and gaskets. But I have another question, So on the rear cylinder the left guide (intake side/the longer one) is going in the bottom grove/seat and is locked in place when lowering the head and placing the top of the guide in the seat in the head. BUT what about the right cam chain guide (exhaust side), it is bolted in place on the bottom but it goes into a grove in head as well?

[@chiefpepdesign]

@@garajulfaragaraj no, that one will be pressed and hold to the chain by the chain tensioner

[@billwillis8051]

i myself was wondering do you have an extra virago 700 jug and if so is it in fair shape and how much for it its the front one that i need

Subtitles are much better than your long talk

[@evilkabab]

Pep, what you did with piston rings seems like an overkill. Check bottom of your cylinders you see it's got a chamfer? Sole purpose of it is to compress piston rings while inserting the piston in.

[@chiefpepdesign]

You mean replacing the rings is an overkill?

[@chiefpepdesign]

I know what you mean but I always have a really hard time to put them in. This is the only way I can manage. Rather be safe then sorry...
