Great to watch, love your work.

Diesel fuel also works great for honing cylinders. It provides just enough lubrication while still letting the hone do its job. Washes out the crud pretty well too.

[@digitalpizza1]

Hi Kaden, yes, diesel works, but has a very strong foul odor and is not water soluble. Solvent works great, smells nice and is water soluble. much more user friendly and has been the best choice with mechanic shops for a long time. But that is just my choice, there are many methods of cleaning engine parts. Thanks Kaden :)

@@digitalpizza1 Very true, hadn't thought about it that way!

Great to see videos again. How do you determine whether you do a bottom end or not.

[@digitalpizza1]

Hi John, I usually base it on whether I am familiar with the engine prior to the rebuild. i.e., I know the history of the bike, or had a chance to ride or hear the engine running, or was able to analyze the engine running before the build. Honda transmissions are pretty bullet proof, so if the bike has relatively low miles and looks clean inside, and no leaks from the cases, then chances are, its probably ok not to split the cases.

digitalpizza Thanks for the reply.

De que parte del mundo eres amigo saludos desde México tengo un motor que quisiera restaurar pero no conozco ningun lugar cerca de mi para repararlo

[@digitalpizza1]

Hola, Estoy en San Francisco California. Solo hago restauraciones completas en las bicicletas, no solo en el motor. Pero probablemente haya algunos tipos en San Diego y Los Ángeles que podrían ayudarlo.

[@shedred1967]

Great job as usual sir. Just seen a picture of a brand new mordern CBX from Honda! Will it be released?! If so, I'm ordering one.

[@ikichullo]

Unfortunately it's unlikely. Lots of people make renders of modernized retro bikes for fun and sometimes they look a little too convincing. I agree a modern CBX would be awesome!

[@mauricempinga935]

My work is motorcycle repair I like this

[@digitalpizza1]

Hi Maurice, Thank you very much. I really appreciate the compliment, especially from someone who is a pro :) Thanks again

[@trygvejohannesen4202]

Which machine shop are you using to recondition the head?

[@digitalpizza1]

Hi Trygve, I use a machine shop near my shop. I am sure you can find a good machine shop near you that does head work. Just call around and ask them if they do motorcycle heads. You will have to provide the valve seals to them as well as any valves that need replacing. I hope this helps. Thanks Trygve.

i am nor sure thay might need 2 go the shop from england

[@rideroll9609]

No way... This type of honning is the worst setup for how to do it... Why did you not take it to specialist to get it honned by machine?!

[@digitalpizza1]

This type of honing is only used to remove the glazing on the cylinder walls , not to bore them. I agree that if they would have needed to be bored, then they would have been done at the machine shop
