Thank you for your feedback!

I like the paper trick for the gasket application 👍🏼 I usually use the corner of a small plastic bag and cut a small hole in the end . Check your piston ring gaps are correctly placed 👍🏼

Hello, Thank you for your comment, I will make a follow up but have had little time and having trouble sourcing the correct piston rings. I have the gx25 as well as a spare. I swapped rings on that one long time ago, food engine, has an overhead cam. Best regards

[@keithnoneya]

@@tmdrtn Got to thinking about it, if the GX35 has a larger bore, try using those rings and cut them down so the gap is a little tighter. Here's a link I found to some good info. You may have to use your browser to translate the page, but the manuals after download are in English. rentamaxcr.com/content/9-soporte-tecnico Just in case you may need it, I'm uploading a video right now on how to change the rocker arms on the GX25/35 on my channel.

@@tmdrtn Thank you very much!

[@bpetnoi1472]

OK I will throw in my two cents. You said you honed the cylinder. After honing did you pull the compression rings into the cylinder and check end gap? If the gap is too large either the rings are wrong or you over honed the cylinder. Also what grit did you use for the cylinder honing? If the grit is too large the engine will smoke and have blow by until the rings wear the cylinder smoother. Rings. Even if they have the proper end gap they must be installed correctly or they will pass oil from the cylinder walls up into the combustion chamber. Since you are indicating oil being blown into the crankcase breather it is most likely a piston ring bypass issue. These engines are designed to run in all positions so it is possible you are sucking oil past the intake valve guide into the combustion chamber causing the blue smoke. If the head has removable valve guides that might address that issue. Most likely Honda doesn't replace them just offers replacement heads. My next statement is going to sound a little silly, but are you sure you are using standard gas not oil/gas mixture? Sorry for asking as you seem more than competent as a mechanic.

[@tmdrtn]

Thanks for your very elaborate response to my video. The honing might cause the issue, but since I used a very fine grid on a caliper honing set I do not suspect over honing, I measured the ring gap in the proper way and the gap is way to big, I'm having a hard time finding reasonable priced better quality rings to solve the issue, for about 10 years ago I swapped rings on a gx25 which back then I could pick up at the local hardware store, those times are long gone unfortunately. And yes, I'm using straight gas and actually always use aspen 4 on all my four stroke equipment.

We've got the same problem.. It's an engine blowby.. There's a combustion leak somewhere in the piston and liner or in a valve stem. Crack in a liner and piston will show up when it is heated and pressured.

Excellent video!! It did look like you used the same valve clearance for intake and outtake. What clearances did you use if not the recommended .012 intake, .015 outtake?

[@tmdrtn]

Thank you, I did, this because I do not have the correct feeler gauges, I had to use the closest metric alternative, this also because I do feel this is not affecting my problem solving work. I have broken down the engine again and understand more about the most likely root cause, working on that video right now, will release soon!

[@9willand]

Hello thanks for the video, I had the following question; how did you position the piston with crankshaft relative to the gear that drives the valves. best regards

[@tmdrtn]

Hello and thank you for watching! I put the piston in TDC to dead center and positioned the cam gear in a neutral position so that both valves are in the closed position.

[@9willand]

@@tmdrtn nice, thanks.

[@Super_Natural_Power]

On the timing gear, look for one special tooth... Theres one dent/cut/slot... Position it on top...Then on the magneto fins theres one special fin which has a cut... Allign tht to one small nipple on the body of engine. Once both is checked, slowly lowered your piston.

[@ricardoromanowski3073]

Oil coming from the crankcase breather is a sign of blowby at the piston. Thus either your rings do not seal properly, or your rings do not seal properly. Thats from a worn bore, or shitty/worn rings usually. Shitty rings can be either assembled in the wrong way (e.g. top down) or the ring gap is too large, or the preload of the rings is too low. If it does not burn lots of oil (blue smoke) it is a problem of the compression rings only.

[@tmdrtn]

That is correct! The rings I mounted have a way to big ring gap, note that 1 millimeter. That is what is causing oil consumption, that rings where provided with the. Chinese piston kit I bought, will have to source original ones to solve the issue!

[@ricardoromanowski3073]

@@tmdrtn You might get away sourcing another chinese piston kit or an oversize chinese piston kit whilst only using the rings. This will total in a bit more tension on the bore, thus a bit of power loss due to friction, but you should have a bit more room to gap them properly if you're putting them into a bore, say, 1/4th of a millimeter too small.

[@kolyaroma]

Hi. Please advise what is better to get, Honda UMK 435 or Makita EM4351UH?

Hej, I am not familiar with the makita, but assuming it is a 4 stroke the difference probably is little. I would choose the Honda if the price difference is limited. The technology and quality probably are the same.

[@progreen9370]

Hi. I'm using the same trimmer, I noticed the airfilter is full engine oil and spitting engine oil from muffler. And it's hard to start. Can you me help pls.

[@tmdrtn]

Hej, start by checking oil level to high, otherwise it looks like similar problem as I have where the wear and gap of the piston rings and piston need to be checked, other possibility is that the valve guides are worn causing oil consumption, best to disassemble the engine and check/measure if your within tolerances. Good luck!

First, get the measurement of the compression that you're getting. For the low compression, it is either the rings or the valves that are not sealed properly. For the rings, you have to assemble it correctly. Make sure the rings are facing the correct position to get good compression. For the valves, have you do a leak test. The valves need to be sealed tight as well. Please get the genuine rings from Honda.

[@peteboe2114]

Hi, have you considered the oil outlet valve in the bottom of the crankcase. It’s meant to stop oil draining into carburettor but still relieve crankcase pressure.
