[@hoosierfatha]

Nice work as always. Ive Had dirt bikes since the 70's, have had jeeps and all kinds of road vehicles too, and i will tell you that i never ever let my rides get that dirty for one reason only, Dirt will eventually migrate into the engine, and clay soil turns into an emulsifier when it gets that powdery and will mix with the oil. I can see the dirt left on those blue towels after the oil filtered through. That is also why we beat you up in the comments about washing these Chinese hunks of crap down before you tear into them, ive seen you drop enough dirt and grit on cam towers to wear them out. Having said that you are an excellent mechanic and i have learned so much watching this channel.

[@spruceville660]

When working on engines, I use cardboard, as I’m pulling bolts out of case sides, I draw a basic diagram, put holes in the cardboard where the bolts go in orientation, makes reassembly easy. Probably low to no maintenance. Oil breaks down, and no oil change. Wear and tear.

[@Thuddster]

That cardboard trick is brilliant!

[@ezinatx]

Oddly, I enjoyed the tracing of the oil flow through the engine. No detail was too small to skip or ignore. Nice vid!

[@catarruchos]

[@keyper555]

As others have said and I have said many times, CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN, as a retired mechanic I always cleaned anything I tore apart first. This is a must, your hands, tools, workbench get covered with all that dirt then contaminate everything you attempt to do, only takes a few extra minutes and you will have better results and less people telling you to CLEAN UP YOUR ACT!!! Your a great mechanic and diagnose very well, but your lack of cleanliness is your biggest mistake and no one who wrenches for a living will work on a dirt or oil encrusted environment.

[@TheZl9000]

It makes me mental ! Like those pakistan truck mechanics that take apart a dirt covered diesel and lay the crank rods and pistons on the dirt floor then "rebuild" the dirt block on the dirt floor. Absolutely makes me mental.

[@dalemettee1147]

Joe, good video. One thing that I've learned over the many years of owning a lot of cars and a few light trucks. Oil is the life blood of these vehicles. Matter of fact Joe, I even change the "break in" oil at 1000 miles even though the manufactures don't require it. I just feel better by doing that. I've never had to open up an engine because of failure. Used to be every 3K or 3 months but now it's twice a year or 5K miles. At my age Joe, I don't drive that far every month so the time factor is the controlling requirement.

[@nunya9555]

Thanks for doing a teardown on a CFmoto. These things eat a lot of dirt because the air intake is technically in the engine compartment! All of that swirling crap that it stirred up by the rear wheels gets sucked into the air box. 😢. I did like many and put a snorkel at the top of the cab plumbed in through the bed box. The manual states to clean or replace the air filter after every ride! Knowing this and it's extent of severity, I would posit that it is possible the previous owner did not do anything on purpose to harm this thing, besides the obvious pulling of one spark plug boot. The oil was low because it burned a lot of oil. The engine was eating dirt from the sub-par air intake engineering and caused all of the damage at its root. Please re route the air intake on this unit to ensure the return of your investment! All of the dirt in that air box was eating can be minimized. Also add a two stage Uni.

[@smokesandalloy9487]

RZRs had the same issue. It's also interesting that they chose to make the belt housing aluminum on this (large part), yet important oil soaked gears are made of plastic, such as for the oil pump and water pump. Perhaps better decisions could've been made.

[@nunya9555]

@smokesandalloy9487 . I know what you mean about plastic gears. They aren't what I would prefer. But at least they aren't under much stress running the oil pump and water pump. But dammit, those are two things that a guy needs working in his engine! Probably made of nylon like a butcher block. Tough stuff for a plastic...

[@crabmanrockefeller9117]

Machine the shaft down and use thicker bearings might be a little cheaper.... Some shops know how to properly harden the bearing surface - some don't but think they do. Touchy one for that part. Re doing the Alpha case is difficult and must be done. special bearings - thicker - are an issue as well. I agree with the pressure washer crowd. Clean clean clean.

I wanna see another attempt at the turbo 400ex. Or something similar. You were so close to making it work and I think now that you're more advanced in working on engines you can problem solve better. I know you could get a turbo to work. If you work at it long enough it will work. I was working on a 1982 atc200es a few weeks ago and I couldn't get it to run, I thought to myself, 2vintage wouldn't give up, why would I? So I worked on it for almost a month. And everyday I made a little progress. Let's just say now, I mastered wheelies on that thing and it runs like a top lol. Never give up!

[@JustAnOldMan]

Good thinking young man, not only do you have the video for a visual how to put it back together, you sneak in like a washer here, 12mm bolts here etc. which obviously we don't need to know, but you do.

[@mgc1970]

You're the best small engine mechanic on KZbin, so far be it from me to question your methods.....BUT WHY??!! wouldn't you bust out the pressure washer and blast the crap off the outside of the engine before you started tearing into it??

[@vettepicking]

Make sure to replace the oil cooler . It looks like this engine got mud in it and wore the bearings/rings out. I ruined a rebuild once because of that. you never can clean the grit out of cooler passages and it just comes out during running . Its worth replacing

[@Thuddster]

Yes, if you can find a replacement cooler. If not, you might be able to find a radiator repair shop that could cook it and reverse-flush it well enough.

Got that right the Honda nighthawk 750s used the frame down tube as a oil passageway to the cooler and they were notorious for holding engine shavings and wrecking a fresh rebuild.

I have some experience, but mostly with motorcycles. But one thing you don't do that I guess my OCD kicks in a reacts to: you don't clean up the stuff you work on before beginning or generally speaking afterwards, either. I would take the time to powerwash everything, and perhaps even give it a scrub before diving in. I wish you'd do the same. Other than that minor niggle, just great content. Keep it coming!

[@andrewchernenkoff2611]

I think your one of the best diagnoses going. Having said that, I noticed when you took out the oil filter was it originally put in backwards or does it have openings at both ends?! In the video it had an opening at the oil filter covering but I couldn't see if it had an opening at the oil pump end so it could filter properly. If this has been asked already or discovered please just disregard this as I didn't get an opportunity to really watch it until today. As if not, I'm sure this had alot to do with things maybe. Cheers from Canada.😊

[@vettepicking]

My guess is fine sand and grit wore the rings and bearings away from dirty oil. Basically like valve grinding compound in the oil. Its hard to see but leaves a fine black residue and the oil filter doesn't catch it all

[@corkybaker996]

I’ll bet she was “dusted”! Worn out from all the abrasive dust that came in thru the intake. Nice work!

[@georgeumberhind6813]

Great teardown. I have to wonder if the crank journal isn't hardened as it should have been....

[@71rcode72]

I love how Joe takes stuff apart and doesn't need to document any of it. that's just genius (edited later to clarify --- every fastener, bolt length, assembly order/configuration is very unique on a motorcycle/ATV/UTV/automobile engine. For most humans, we have to take pictures and notes and draw assembly/disassembly diagrams of how things come apart so we can put them back together properly. Yes, Joe is videoing his disassembly, but he is not taking notes to later help him in a day, week or month go through the 100s of fasteners on his bench and in what order. To your point, yes, he can revisit his documented video for hints (and probably does). The purpose of my original comment was to recognize Joe for his mechanical aptitude for just *knowing* across brands/makes/models/years how things fit together. And this is the result of his thousands of hours of doing this sort of work, his passion for it, and truly his genius. It's marvelous to watch, and I know you gents agree!)

[@TruthHurtsSomet1m3s]

yeah, it's not like he made a video documenting the complete tear down, or anything. SMH

[@TheCybrKnyf]

My guess is over-revving - I've seen this type of damage in a Yama RD 360 2-Stroke. The engines revs so high that the wrist pins stretch the holes in the pistons... You will need to measure the crank dimensions as well as the rod holes at both ends.

[@daveb4210]

[@louisjohnsonjr.4934]

Seems that cfmoto does pretty with their assembly. Most all the bolts were very well tighten and lpc tite was on just about all the needed components. Goes to show they are built pretty well.

[@mikemilburn7823]

Great video, think I would have cleaned it up a bit first tho. Plastic gears should be illegal on anything. That crank must be as soft as he77 or else the bearings are hard, if there wasn't enough oil, wouldn't you think the crank would be blue from heat?

[@BillMalcolm-tn3kq]

The main and conrod bearing shells seem like a design from 1950. One would expect a center groove in them to get oil for sure all the way around the journals. This way relies only on gravity except near the crank oil supply holes -- until the bearing shell coating material wears away and gives wide clearance, when it's too late and the journals wear away as well despite willy-nilly lots of oil. My opinion only, but I think it's a really crappy design or a complete lack of forethought. And the huge second piston-ring end gap? Hilarious. Where is the oil fed from to lubricate the cylinders? And if the bearings have excessive wear, overall engine oil pressure must surely die. An engine to avoid, methinks.

[@DjBud_VinD]

[@ils360]

2:23 when it's really clean around the edge of a piston that's a really good sign that it is burning oil The oil coming from the crankcase is actually cleaning the top of the piston off

[@RAKINAUS]

Good video Joe! (got a bit wobbly in places) I realise now how much space the quads take up. I can see sometime in the near future Joes Motorcycle dealership. OK my thoughts on that engine, (55 yrs a mechanic, I am 69 now)). I picture that thing bogged in a mud hole, sunk under water. The water got into the crankcase through the breather (look for mud in the breather or the inlet or the exhaust) and water displace the oil, the water sits on the bottom and floats the oil away. then as you say, the engine ran with no oil. But more important than that the water washes off the oil. See the rusty crank on both ends and and a few other places, the clutch was covered in mud, the centre bearing in the clutch was full of mud and rough etc. The cam chains will run with no oil for quite a while, but with water on them they are instantly worn. Make sure you measure all the rotating and rubbing parts, I bet those bores ran with water, that explains the worn rings. there will be a lot of hidden wear. I hope you can get all the parts and you get it back together. Love your work, people who don't give up always succeed and hard workers like you will always produce good results.

[@skeptic3332]

You could raise the bench front lower cross supports so you can push the hoist underneath and just lower the engine onto the bench.

[@thomass2055]

Lack of oil definitely a culprit. This is just my 2 cents with it running on one cylinder the gas on the rear cylinder seeing it wasn't being ignited some of it was pushing past the rings and mixing with the oil deluiting it to the point where the oil protective properties no longer existed and caused excessive friction which wore the bearings and piston rings. Take a bore gauge and check the dimensions of the rear cylinder and I guarantee you will find the wear is excessive compared to the front cylinder that is called cylinder wall wash due to the gas being spray into the cylinder and no ignition. You could bore the cylinders than do a big bore or oversize bore to help cut cost but it might be cost effective and labor effective to just get new cylinders.

[@larrywarner9314]

Joe make sure when you replace those bearings that you take pictures of there placement if there not installed correctly they'll fail immediately regardless of oil or no oil , make sure you use lots of assembly grease or lube on the bearings and any other bearings of that style

Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking it's more so a lack of proper steel hardness on the crank, than purely low oil. There is almost always a color change due to over heating when it's only low oil.
