How to RUIN engines and alienate people!

[@chriswilliams33]

Hi Mat glad you're highlighting the engine bodging that some KZbinrs think is acceptable. Last week I watched some a***hole smash the cooling fins off a perfectly good head.😜

[@fatasdat]

KZbin is full of asshats doing well sub par fixes that give people the wrong idea.. I.e Samcrac, B is for build. More of these people need to be exposed

I bought a zzr1100 with a engine like this one good old number 3 said hello to big wide world, after replacing crank pistons cases and barrel’s and cleaning out all other components that I was reusing, one small slither of swarf remained somewhere, this slither then found it’s way to the oil feed pipe for the box and caused the oil spray to then miss the shift fork and gears, then causing the box to shat itself 2000 miles after rebuilding the engine. Since this I will never bother to repair an engine that has had a main component failure resulting in any swarf contamination. Just replace the whole thing it works out cheaper in the long run. 👍

[@stav2002]

I can't wait to see him try and rebuild this, I doubt a crank will ever turn in it again. And I don't think I will ever lose the image of him pulling those barrels off, or him flipping over the head. Etched in my mind forever I fear .

Trav, the American version of Arthur Daley. Loved the "And the seller is not answering his phone." This was a disguised educational and informative video on how NOT to strip a engine, waste time and money. But F...ing Funny!

[@TheBlibo]

I am no welder but I learnt a long time ago that when preparing surfaces for welding use finish with a file because the grinding abrasives can often detract from a good weld on both steel and aluminium

[@TornadoCAN99]

Wow, just wow. Was that washing sequence in a commercial car wash station? Looked very much like so, with that soap spray brush/broom and the large drain grilles on the cement floor. Must made lots of edits while running to put coins in the timer machine....

[@handycrowd]

Jeeze, and I think about how carefully I'm working on my 125 coz I don't want to fuck it up lol! Taking on one of the biggest engines out there at his age is just daft. And why does he want to boost it? Is the Hayabusa engine not powerful enough, sheesh.

[@Aengus42]

If it ever fires up he'll need to boost it to drive it out of his garage! It's gonna need all the help it can get just to keep turning over!

[@cliveadams7629]

What a good idea, Del could get himself a Sealey jet washer and do a show on how to properly jet wash engine internals. Maybe without even having to strip it down! But we knew that already, didn't we!

That white ribbon is where the original owner crashed his hayabusa dirt bike into a tree after finding the handling less than ideal

[@060racing8]

I once learnt the hard way that you should compression test engines that you are unsure of the there condition before you disassemble them . I learnt that valves can be bent so slightly that you cannot notice them but enough to cause problems obviously there is also proper ways to measure stuff but when you're young and don't have access to all the right tools it can be hard .

Holy shit this is the best example of confidence over skill

[@1südtiroltechnik]

1:00:50 I can not understand People that say this! Im around 20 aswell but i dont break stuff or abuse my things. Years ago, i had some "strategists" in my class that were like this guy. They did not care for the Schools Tools or even their own Workpieces. Their overall Behaviour and attitude was this way, also their Grades were, surprise, low. But there of course were also the other, more "polite", more accurate mates. Keep pointing these things out, Matt, and talk honestly about them. There is no excuse to behave and work this way!

[@walterverheyen1263]

I am glad that there still are guys like you. They are rare these days

[@CZ350tuner]

It could be worst, for this Hayabusa..... Del could be doing one of his restyling "builds" to it!!

[@shonith91]

Prior to hands on experience the guy needs to understand the engineering side of things. How something is designed, Manufacturing process, stress relieving techniques. After that he can start with physical work like how you described towards the end. He also needs to understand how to use a workshop manual. I saw the comments on his original video the number of positive comments he has received over this "turning crap into more crap" is just unbelievable. People seems to believe he has done something truly unique when in reality all he has done is just weld broken pieces together without understand what that casing was designed, made to withstand and the life of it. It's just ridiculous.

The wash job happened at a Coin operated self car wash. It is a crime to wash engine parts where I live in a car wash. An oil water separator is required by law for washing oily parts . The fine when caught is massive .

Except that one wasn't nearly as painful as watching someone bash a Hayabusa engine apart. I just prefer to laugh at the stupidity than to rage at a perfectly salvageable (if even just for spares) engine being ruined

[@Delboysparody]

He's never going to remember which bolts went where....

[@brabhamfreaman166]

At the start of the vid he at least had a whole engine, albeit in pieces in the case. By the end there’s bolts all over the floor and those and any other small parts that survived the disassembly were blown out with pressure washer water. He doesn’t even know where all the pieces are anymore. He doesn’t have a whole fucking engine to refurb.

[@mikebrooks9201]

He never actually made the final video where he reassembled it. He just mounted a 200cc engine in the busa frame!

[@mikebrooks9201]

So that’s it? He runs a channel where he’s supplied with welders etc. from manufactures and just does nothing of note with them? Is that how easy it is?

[@dirtygarageguy]

It seems so...

[@mikebrooks9201]

Well I want to see him held to some sort of contract, where he has to drag strip that reassembled bike with a turbo on it, all easily fixed as stated.

[@Number-ju1nl]

Why turbo something like that? Most people will never tap into what it can really do. 175 ponies in a bike that weighs 500 pounds or about 260 kg is more power than you need. Most people don't realize or respect what their machine is capable of, or know what octane does. And Matt cheers mate

[@phitsf5475]

54:58 All of the impurities have come to the surface so it's fine? Nah. He needs to dig those welds out with a carbide burr and go over them again. The first pass is really more of a preparation pass, creating the transition from the cast material to the billet flat bar. All of that shit on the surface is telling you that the weld pool wasn't very stable and all of your crystals maybe weren't the best. Looks almost decent but he stopped before he was finished. I'm also worried about his root, he had room to cut further back in the casing and the gap doesn't look enough for good penetration.

[@MotoControlEn]

I don't know why he went through all that trouble with welding. Should've patched the holes with epoxy resin - would be good enough!

[@KuroSanArts]

Maybe I'm wrong here, but in my limited knowledge of engines and repairing them, I've always just sort of assumed that if the engine has a whacking bloody great hole in it, then just look for another engine. The mere thought of trying to weld lumps back into it should invoke some sort of lightning bolt to the head! Also, when he said about the other pistons being useable and then whacked them, we both said "Not anymore" at the same time lol!

[@PGriff]

We’ve all done stupid stuff when we were younger thinking we know it all, but this really is on a whole other level. What’s worse is that because he has so many subscribers, people (mostly kids) will naively believe he knows what he’s doing and try to emulate his work. He’s like the younger version of Del - the kid will be giving his brake pads the wire wheel loving before you know it. It’s a shame that content like this isn’t censored for dangerous practice, but then we wouldn’t get to enjoy Matt’s reaction, as well as our own. #ripplesmooth

They do engine swaps and bodge together engine mounts with blocks of wood because they can't fabricate or machine stuff.

[@Tradeofjane]

Him not having tables has nothing to do with him being American and us being, "Dirt f**king cheap". It's most likely because that garage is small and he lives with his parents. Aside from that his biggest mistake was buying that POS in the first place. You can already see from the big hole in the cylinder head that it's gone. I don't know what he thought he could salvage except maybe a few bolts. The conditions that caused that hole would have already damaged everything from the cylinders to the gears anyway. Even if a part like a gear looks fine it will likely be brittle from overheating and isn't worth reusing.
