[@DjRay1967]

I don't care what anyone says the second method is the easiest way to go. I've been doing that method For years on 2 and 4 stroke motorcycle engines. This video just reaffirms that this method is one of many good ways to install a motorcycle cylinder. 👍👍👍👍

[@patriotsleepercell4060]

I love method 2 that is how i'm going to do my bike since i am alone.

[@markkelhart3374]

Really don't care who's a hater on this I HAVE and putting motors together for a long time 2-stroke 4-stroke big bore etc. Best method ever and like your student said you don't need any help thank you... keep on KZbin and explanation of the float on a carburetor was awesome to thanks again the only thing I would add to that is you if you do have a ring compressor it works awesome putting them in that way instead of using a little screwdriver still awesome idea thanks a lot

[@timryerson6733]

one tip I gave to my students was instead of using a screw driver to work the rings in to the cylinder I use plastic or bamboo chopsticks to prevent scratching the rings especially the cast rings. they work really and I also use tuning fork type rod and piston supports I either build them from 1/2 alluminium bar stock or blocks of hardwood

[@How2Wrench]

+Tim Ryerson Freakin Awesome

[@chewybrand238]

I've used the "screwdriver" method myself. I would prefer wood or plastic.

[@gentlerowdy]

Time i have one tries to use a a unsharpened pencil but you will never know when a bloddy particle of that fell in the chamber of your crankcase- as wood is quite vulnerable to the pressure you use to compress those rings

[@herkko61]

Exactly! No metal tool for this rings compressing job.

[@flytheedge]

Shane, I really appreciate all the videos! I'm not a technician but I have done 99% of my maintenance with your videos and those of others, in supplement to my service manual. I'm looking at doing a big bore kit on my '17 XL1200X and feel confident that I can successfully do this project myself.

[@commonclay0070]

Thanks for all you do. your videos are the biggest help to me. I'm watching all the videos I can from you. I'm going to do a 88" - 95" kit on my bike. I'm going to do all the work myself. money saver. so I really appreciate you and your teaching skills. Awesome. thanks.

[@trevorjameson3213]

Great video, I'm really happy to see this on youtube. Excellent! Thank you for showing three different methods. I still prefer the first method though, use a ring compressor and lower the cylinder over it. Very easy this way and no fooling around with the circlip with a cylinder still in your hand. Anyway, it's so good to see each method of doing this job!

[@XenaTheQuadCamBikah]

Ordered my sportster Hammer 1275 kit with pistons already installed in the cylinders. I’ve installed two sporty kits this way and it’s super easy. First time I pulled one piston a little too far down to get it on the connecting rod but was able to gently compress the rings with my fingers and put the piston back up. Love the channel guys!

[@albertaboy1139]

I’m not a mechanic but have been a carpenter for 30 years and agree with the upside down solo method of installing piston into jugs. When I install doors ( heavy fire down to hollow core) I like be solo. Less hands on means less pinched fingers or things messed up. The best way to learn the easy way is by yourself alone. Thanks for the knowledge again. Great vids.

I love these videos, I taught powersports(small engine,snowmobile,atv, marine and some motorcycle) at Fairview college in northern alberta for 4 years, doing something like these for the theory classes or demo,s before we actually went to work in the shop.is a great idea because its really tough to show 25-28 students individually these techniques in the time allotted in the shop. really hard to get around to everyone and make sure they all understand the procedures. excellent way to teach. nice job. and it also shows there are always other ways to do the job properly and with skill and end up with a finished product you can be proud of

[@How2Wrench]

+Tim Ryerson Thank you and please share!

[@Salvatore3333]

I used method two as I'm on my own and inserted pistons from the top going down so could monitor rings and gaps as the moved in the cylinder on a bench at home....pre-fitted pistons in cylinders and marked the four spots for gaps all the way top to bottom vertically....babbaboom job done....cheers Shane.\m/

The rings rotate in a running engine at various rates if the gap positions move a little during installation it won't matter

i been work on many atv and snowmobile .. i never used a screwdriver at all because it will leave a mark in piston and rings .. i used piece of plastic that i made special tools .. or used compression rings tools

[@moustachemike7128]

i use the wood handle of a pencil wire brush..wire end cut off from the handle and use that to push on the rings...no slip gouging the ring and piston...

[@derekwatson1975]

Another reason you would want to do it like this is you may not have enough clearance to get a tool underneath the cylinder. I have installed many this way when there is no way possible to use a ring compressor tool on the cylinder.

[@kyleessary1974]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@3544S]

I use a combination of both methods. I install the piston into the cylinder on the bench with a compression tool. I install one circlip and partially install the wrist pin. Then I go install it on the bike. Not gonna lie, sometimes It's a pain to install the last circlip, while holding the jug. Would like to see someone come out with a circlip install tool. Maybe motionpro makes one?

[@How2Wrench]

+3544S They exist but are costly as they only fit each size wrist pin.

[@dongking6245]

Luber is always a good thing to use

[@sergioa.villarraga2616]

Recently, I learned the second method. I always used the third method. Hey calm down, only on my bike ok? lol

I use a hose clamp for my ring compressor as I went from 88 to 97” and the piston pin is in ring gap

[@paulacabbo466]

I never had a problem just using my fingers to compress each ring as the cylinder drops, the piston has be up high enough to get your hands in there but not so high the jug won't catch the studs, tall cylinders you can get away with this, short cylinders would be more difficult

[@SaddleTrampTV]

The second method is exactly how I built my motor. Why does harley hate that so much?

[@AmericanDefender]

Would you suggest method two on a 4 cylinder engine? I'm working on a 79 gs1000.

[@AmericanDefender]

@@How2Wrench I've actually watched that video before. I'm working with the engine still on the bike by myself. This is the second time I've had to replace the jugs and I'm just curious between both methods which is better? I also don't have a small enough piston rings compressor. I used hose clamps last time but I really don't want to again if avoidable. Last time, after getting the bike together, I had no compression. I found that the rings were stuck in their grooves and didn't expand. I'm curious if that was due to the hose clamps? I don't see how, but I've seen a lot of weird things working as a heavy line tech for Dodge. I have ran a ring groove cleaner on the pistons again and did find a very small amount of carbon that was missed. I speculate that's why they stuck. I apologise for rambling. I'm just trying to cover all my bases before I move forward and spend another 80 bucks on gaskets.

[@How2Wrench]

@@AmericanDefender Have you seen how cheap the "right tool" is? I'll out a link below. amzn.to/2ZrYb3D or amzn.to/2NQgPN2 I did a quick check on your stock bore and it showed 64.8mm (www.google.com/search?q=79+gs1000+bore+size&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS718US718&oq=79+gs1000+bor&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j33l3.13783j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) I personally like to first one with the short clamp band width. Nice for getting in and around studs. I don't want to discredit clever ideas but when it comes to piston rings, I find the tool is much wider and correct for installation without damage. As to why the rings compressed and did not release I have an amazing video showing exactly. I am in the process of editing it for our new members/donation site.
