Cameron you’re just like a Honda takes a beating but still keeps running 😂 I’m glad you’re doing a lot better love the build stay strong 💪🏻

[@mattymccolgan9453]

M.R John Deere 04 ohh yeah Honda's are indestructible!!! Especially 2004 crf450r!! Mate I rode that bitch to hell and back and back again for 4years on 2 oil changes and 1 new set of clutch plates that i discovered it didn't really need... Was popping and a bitch to start in the end but once it was going it still went hard even though the valves where probably sealed shut

[@zackmcguire3837]

Matty Mccolgan I beat on my Honda recon 250 every weekend the thing won’t quit I love it to death though

[@Dvniemela]

The grind is unreal.

[@bloodfox567]

i'm sure it was a breath of fresh air for you doing what you love. Stay strong man it only gets better from here!

[@joshsrcadventures5297]

I know you probably heard this a lot. But what you're going through with your Leukemia treatment. Still making videos you really are a true inspiration. You really are camstrong!.

[@Bitplanebrother]

to get the zylinderhead nearly perfect flat....place sandpaper (400-600grid) on a mirror and place the zylinder upside down on it...move the zylinder in a circle on the paper without pressing on it...rotate the zylinder in your hand every couple of turns.. @cameron...you are awsome..nice video again...stay strong and best whishes from germany

[@ped1355]

You are a real warrior fighting cancer and rebuilding a bike, prayers with you brother 🙏

[@aaa77233]

It’s amazing how Cameron can do this kinda stuff so smooth and knows mostly everything like it’s written in the back of his head! Keep it up Cameron💪🏼

[@rickfeith6372]

Been WAITING for this....that gorgeous 250 Honda!!! Glad to see ya getting back into it.

[@drunk_cat9975]

Camstrong should be a race team.

[@tmk5522]

It’s getting so close. Hoping for more good days and sweet build videos. keep pushing through it brother nothing worse than getting complacent

[@claxtonf.403]

thanks for another great video man, hope you are doing better. I'm about to start my 92 rm250 project, ive taken a lot of notes from all your great advice about cleaning and such. can't wait to see the final result of your CR.

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

I'll second that, the result is porn for sure. Brilliant strip down and build.

[@anthonyk9534]

This build will turn out factory! Awesome cam! Glad your doing well! 👍🏼

[@Hood259]

Stay strong! I do have a tip use glass or granite slab with your sand paper on it for gasket surfaces it's a for sure method to "deck" a surface. Good luck to you and keep up the vids.

[@knightnight0237]

Adam Hood good call I need to do that as well

[@SMMBHQ-cg2zy]

Oh dude so sorry to hear about your problem, you got this . I absolutely know you got this , please please take care and get better fast.

[@dwightschrute3862]

Good idea having a buddy do it. Better safe than sorry. I know it is late but best wishes and hope that you are feeling better.

[@dh1270]

Glad to see your are up and around. Get better bro. I'll check out your site and order a shirt for my son and myself.

[@acjfilms33]

Hey cam I’ll make sure to tell all my friends at the track tomorrow about ur shirts I’m buying one today cause with out u how would I know how to put anything together!

[@310devildog]

I dont even have a bike but i find ur videos very informative.. you have a clean and easy way of explaining things.... keep up the good work

[@N221BP]

Keep fighting! Wish you lots of strength and really cool you keep on doing the vids man, even if you're pretty knakkered by the leukemia and treatment. Takes courage to show yourself in this state. My respect to you!

[@marioguzman9290]

This video makes me appreciate the simplicity of my YZ250 motor especially the exhaust valve.

[@danmeifert2469]

Love seeing the CR & YZ 250 two strokes saved. Thanks for your thoughtful work.

[@AllboroLCD]

I just got a big bore block for my CB250. The lower part of the barrel that protrudes out underneath the block was honed so thin, it cracked while trying to fit my pistons/rings. I was left no other option but to sheer off the rest of the cracked skirts and re-burnish the surface. Made fitting the pistons that much harder, but I did manage to get it all back on. I really dont see there being much issue as the pistons do not travel past the bottom of the block, but no one can really give me a straight answer if I will or wont. Motor is going back on frame tomorrow, just gonna give it a start and see if it grenades or pisses oil out of some unknown crevace. Fingers crossed

[@brokewheels5]

I just used powerseal usa as well. Waiting for my cylinder to come home. I had used another company in the past and it wasn't a good experience. Thanks for the great videos

[@BigBeefBazooka]

I love the CR build stuff. Awesome content as always!

[@weedys483]

you still keep the youtube grind even after all you are goin thru, keep it goind

[@mikevanosta4321]

I work at Powerseal Europe! Cool you went to Powerseal USA! Diggin' it!

[@lucaskeersmaekers6651]

[@G9Garage]

Glad to hear from you again mate. Best wishes from down under.

[@MegaCountach]

Great work Cameron, good to see you back in your shop! Cheers, Doug

Can we not Grow Cams channel for him more? Amazing personality, unbelievable story, huge heart, unmatched skill and knowledge for Niche MX fixes and mods. This Channel should be a monster!

[@tjridez6331]

Hey Cameron, thanks for the super super fast delivery of my scotch bryte discs all the way to here in New Zealand. Cant wait to get cracking on some serious polishing on my custom klx300.

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks for the order man! Let me know how they work out for you

[@mattymccolgan9453]

Had a idea for you mate while I was in hospital having spinal surgery, was thinking about certain repairs that I'm unable to do as I don't have specific tools and I'll be out of work for a while so can't go spending 100s on specialty tools that I may only use once or twice... I had a friend who passed away recently who was a car mechanic and always had some special trick to get the job done... Maybe you can do a vid on backyard fixes/ Bush mechanic repair to get some jobs done without buying a specific tools but still getting it done... You don't have to just an idea for ya mate Hope your everything is good mate and your content is still number1 on KZbin along with Travis Pastrana and Nitro Circus... Positive thoughts

[@jessestauffer2626]

I hope you get better i love your content cancer and leukemia suck and you are a strong guy and i know you will pull through.

[@blakeevans5195]

Nice to see you back home get well soon! Love this channel!

Hope you are doing well man! Glad to see you back with the CR250 build 👍- From the UK

[@lukebell2683]

Stay strong brother !! Your the best keep your head up man we're all behind you

[@chrisarmstrong7678]

Happy to see another video from this build, thanks for the great content as always.

[@NeilSnapePhotography]

Been watching some of your excellent videos lately. Shocked and surprised to hear about your fight with leukaemia. You are young and strong, you'll not let it win. A very good friend of mine was diagnosed 2 years ago with the same. He is fully back up to where he was before! I can hope the same for you Cam.

[@frobinson2413]

Slick video as always dude. keep strong, Be strong, Camstrong. wish you a speedy recover.

[@MartinHubbard1]

Thanks for all your really great vids Cameron. Sending get well wishes from Cornwall in the UK ...Keep strong.

Nice to see you working in bikes again. Camstrong! ✊

Good to see you're working on the CR250 again. 😎👍

[@kermit30au]

Good to see you back in the saddle. Great video.

[@alexluka9521]

i thought this was an old video but it was just posted. really good!

[@bighorn4908]

I was so excited to see these new videos pop up on my subscriptions! Glad to see you up again. Will be taking a look at the web sight. School year starts soon and my boys would love some of your gear.

[@jamiedavison297]

Nice to see you back at it. Camstrong 💪🏻

[@yellowveedub]

Something sweet I use to clean up gasket surface is I had a piece of plate glass cut and I attach any grit sandpaper you want to use either that has an adhesive back or use painters tape in the corners works super good and being tempered plate glass you know is perfectly flat

[@glahut93]

Millinium technologies replated and welded mine , it runs flawless and I highly recommend them.

[@ryansmifh]

this is why most of us subbed i believe and seeing this is so relieving

[@gavanrogers8480]

So excited for the reveal of this baddie. Stay strong man! You got this💪

[@acadventuresnz5855]

Love watching your vids, super great content. can't wait for the 250 build to be finished!! stay strong Cameron.

[@hank1556]

I think its bad ass that youre letting your subscribers help decide the direction of the build. super cool. I hope youre feeling better. oh, I picked up a Yamaha Tri-Z 250 today :)

[@Eury9819]

PowerSeal USA is an amazing company I plan to send off my spare cylinder for my 84 KDX 200 so in case something happens I can do a quick top end swap and keep running

[@jasonlemire794]

Sorry to hear the news God speed buddy.. I really enjoy your videos you are very particular in your builds im the same way so I appreciate that.. Im making a nice 87 rm 125 right now so been learning from your vids I have never worked on engines before so very helpful !! Thanks for making it easier..

[@bigboi6578]

you uploading made my day better

[@MrMalky1550]

Another great 250 video, good to see you looking well brother.

[@timmwhite9218]

First, we're sorry to hear about the leukemia diagnosis Cameron, hope you get through it to full remission. will be praying for you brother! Second, another option here is just to send the cylinder to L.A. Sleeve and have 'em install their chromoly sleeve in it....works well every time I've done it and you then have the option of rebore to next size piston/overbore to more displacement (a bit expensive but they do great work.) : )'

[@temisweey3358]

I’m so glad you are back and strong!

[@derrick6483]

Wish I had the money to buy a shirt bud. I'd love to help support your fight but unfortunately I'm struggling ATM... Awesome to see you back at it though! Getting up and being active doing something you love can only help strengthen you IMHO. I struggle with addiction and the best thing for a recovering addict is to stay active, so I believe it's helpful in your case as well. Take care man. You look healthy and strong brother! Keep up the good fight my dude. Love your videos man!

[@Sn0w1981]

Nice one! So much more satisfying than replacing it with a new one.

[@eeroerkintalo9858]

Back at it again👌

[@supermairo1716]

Nice to see you back and a round dude

[@itsmesavagecars5783]

Hey finally you're back! Hope you're doing great!

[@aa7jc]

Camstrong shirt on its way! Your videos are the best.

[@Dm0stFin3sT]

Powerseal did the welding and Nikasil on my kx125 jug last month. They come with a warranty as well incase of defect. 300$ total with shipping for a better than OEM product. Even less if you don’t need welding just a replate

[@johnybrug5406]

Hey I brought it in to my local shop (CEP Automotive) and it costed only $200 including the Wiesco Piston.

[@Dm0stFin3sT]

Jonathan Brugge you have a local shop that does plating? Dang how lucky

[@robertgisthebest]

That's a bit of a rip off. For £180 ($230) my 94 kx 125 cylinder was vapour blasted, welded and re-plated.

[@darylturner6094]

It is good to see you Cam!

[@njmxjunkie3128]

Powerseal is the absolute best in the industry

[@larryproffer8603]

I think the correct clearance is 0:0024” to 0.0029”, 24 to 29 ten thousandths of an inch. Nice job on the video as usual.

[@georgewcamp]

PowerSeal is the way to go Cameron, good choice!

[@justinhorter4229]

Wish you wouldve showed how ypu remove your power valve. I cant get mine out of the cylinder to clean it when i do a top end job. I have an 03 cr250 as well. Love all your vids. Sorry to hear about the cancer

[@corytryon6374]

Love your videos! My favourite are the cr 250. Mine is a 2002. You're my go to for advice. Keep up the good work!! Stay PRYME!!

[@patrickbyman7408]

Cory Tryon I have a 2002 Cr250 as well.

[@rigourmortis]

Good 2 c they relieved th bridge after they plated it 👌

[@markokretzer2665]

Hi Cameron! Du machst deine Sache wirklich sehr gut! Erlaube mir eine kleine Kritik oder besser gesagt, einen Verbesserungsvorschlag. Betreffend deiner polierarbeiten an der Zylinder Außenseite. Ich habe wesentlich bessere Erfahrungen gemacht, wenn ich die Zylinder Außenseite Glasperlenstrahle und somit eine leicht aufgerauchte Oberfläche erhalte. Das hat zur Folge, dass sich der Fahrtwind besser in der rauen Oberfläche fängt und somit eine bessere Kühlung des Zylinder gewährleistet ist! Eine polierte Oberfläche des Zylinder leitet den Fahrtwind ab und verhindert somit ein zusätzliches kühlen durch den Fahrtwind! Probiere es aus und gebe mir dein Feedback.

[@MikeSmith-rx4uu]

I've used power seal USA before. Very great results from them. Can I make a suggestion, now is the time to clean up the ports on the cylinder. Because if you happen to hit the cylinder wall is doesn't matter. They will correct any slight damage like that. Plus it would make for a great video!

[@MikeSmith-rx4uu]

I should have watched the whole video 1st. Kinda too late to clean ports now. Lol

[@treforwilliams4181]

Great to see you back.

[@christoviljoen8321]

Im also telling everyone I know about your shirts and I should have an order ready by next week. Sending you good vibes all the way from Namibia!!!👌💪

[@markokretzer2665]

Hi Cameron! You are really doing your thing very well! Allow me a little criticism or better, a suggestion for improvement. Regarding your polishing works on the cylinder outside. I've had much better experiences when I get the cylinder outside glass bead jets and thus a slightly smokey surface. As a result, the wind will catch better in the rough surface and thus a better cooling of the cylinder is guaranteed! A polished surface of the cylinder dissipates the wind and thus prevents additional cooling due to the wind! Try it and give me your feedback. Lieben Gruß aus Deutschland und dem Thüringer Wald 👍

[@willeypoboy6052]

Great video Cam! As always, thanks for the education brother!

Probably best to go to a local honda parts dealer. I found this is the easiest way to get parts for my old husky. Luckily I have a husky dealer right here in town, and the prices aren't bad at all, same if not better than what I can find online.

Great repair on your cylinder. I know you love team red (Honda) but as you know their 2 stroke parts are getting rare. You my want to consider team blue (Yamaha) for your next restoration. I pray you will continue to improve health wise.

When he was back at powerseal after they fix your cylinder you should have sent it to dby Motorsports to have them Port that cylinder. You would have seen the Improvement of their port work what they do. I've been running their cylinders since 2006 in my car
