What happens if you use the inner ring?

[@etxgoff]

@@davidschexnaydre7012 You can destroy the bearing

[@jonkadela878]

@@davidschexnaydre7012 When force is applied to the inner ring, it is transferd to the ball bearings then the outer ring. It is possible to cause deformation damage to bearings or rings, which would destroy the bearing. The goal is to move the outer ring so only the outer ring should be engaged by the press.

[@TheBestLife35]

Part of me understand that you're always looking for the next project, so cranking them out quickly is important. As well as the 3 videos a week. Just slow down a little bit and think about the small details. As others have said, whenever pressing bearings, always use the outer race ( im not being a prick about it either, just a tip). The reason so many people are saying to clean the cases inside and out, is because when a buyer looks at a "complete rebuild" and the outer case looks like it hasnt been touched, it makes them wonder if as little care has been taken on the inside as well. Keep doing what you're doing. It's clearly working for you, just try and hone your skills on every thing you have a chance to.

[@aeroman5239]

It's called workmanship and pride in your work.

[@keyper555]

I so very much agree.

[@soulis1000]

Well the outside of the engine does show how little care he took when assembling the engine, so i guess the buyer gets what he sees...

[@brianmenzer487]

Agreed!! Should be quality over quantity. Does it matter how many four wheelers or bikes you have, if they all have grit floating around in the oil...

[@mitchrd2004]

​@@brianmenzer487 If he makes more vids and people watch, then thats more profit for him. Take a look at the title again "I Rebuilt The Cheapest Broken Down UTV (Better Than New)" I dont think so.

Joe, you can definitely justify the cost of a part cleaning tank for the channel. This is great content.

[@tootsch]

You should put the cases in the oven at about 250 degrees, and put the bearings in the freezer overnight.They'll go together easily without pressing.

[@frankdodson3534]

He's a good mechanic but some of his techniques car questionable by now you would have thought he would have learned better?

[@edd9157]

But the bearings went in fine with the press? Isn’t that what it’s for?

[@aaad01]

Press on outter race of the bearing.

[@ar2043]

@ed9157 Yes the press is for that but i've put the bearings in the freezer overnight and then heated the cases/whatever I'm working on and they basically drop right in. No need to press anything or beat on anything. It's just one of those things that you learn as you go along that becomes a little "trick of the trade" that doesn't hurt anything but makes it way easier.

[@frankdodson3534]

@@edd9157 it's how he applied the pressure always use the most outer extremes of the bearing and a little heat applied to the case will expand it thus making it even easier on your parts?

[@vanfairbanks7389]

Gotta a question for those of you who know about motorcycle repair. If you have to split the case and replace bearings, wouldn't you want to replace all the bearings and not just the ones that "appear" bad. There was a lot of metal shavings inside the case.

[@aeroman5239]

Agreed, but he'll sell it on for the next owner to deal with the bearing failure.

[@southwestcatfishsquad7347]

Sounds like you aren't much of a fan.Im curious for real are you hear to just bust his balls or some other motive.Never can understand why people watch videos and then talk shit about what or how they are doing the job.For the record i do agree with the parts washer comment​@aeroman5239

[@davesplace1307]

In this instance with a failure yes all bearings and seals should be replaced. But even mechanic shops will clean the good bearings and re use them. My preference if theres a major failure all bearings get replaced. If no major failure than only the certain bearings get replaced. Totally different for 2 stroke engines though

[@mitchrd2004]

@@aeroman5239 I normaly give the owner the option if they are tight on money and I feel the other bearings are still good. It depends on the failure...something like this that was ran into the ground, I would say replace them all. If it was a "This thing started kocking and I turned it off"... Then the other bearing may still be ok.

[@jimw6991]

​@@davesplace1307Not different for any rotating machinery. If you have an oil batch lubrication system and there were metal parts that broke and pieces floating in the oil then all the bearings and seals should be replaced. No smart tech will warranty a repair without replacing all the parts. If it's yours and you want to gamble then you replace only obviously damaged pieces.

[@williambrownjr2346]

As several have commented, you definitely need a parts washer to not only clean the inside of the cases but the outside should look as clean as the inside. You need to also clean the UTV itself before putting a rebuilt into the space, IMO. That is you want to claim "Better Than New". Love watching your videos.

[@keyper555]

I have been saying the same thing for months now but I don't think he cares, I would never do any work on these RVs untill I pressure washed every parts of them.

[@862057]

An old timer master mechanic standing in the shadows, off camera, petting Vinny, and coaching, would do wonders.

[@dwayneb3041]

Never press bearings in by the inner race. It puts allot of stress on the bearing components. I use heavy duty transport socket set. They are big in size and impact rated. Then you can find the exact one that fits inside the case with no resistance but it only puts pressure on the exterior or case side of the bearing. Hope that tip helps. Harbor freight or our princess auto has the bigger socket sets available for reasonable cost. So many times I've used them for press. I don't think the inside has even been used.

[@patbriggsmbr]

I was always taught to never press on the internal race when pressing the bearing in. It should be the outer race so you don’t put pressure on the bearing and damaging them.

[@jonschmidt5395]

Been doing this type of work for many years yes press the bearings from the outer race and a parts washer too all parts should be washed before you order parts so if there is any part that was damaged but was not seen due to dirt or grease debris you find it at that time. Yes replace all bearings with the fact that this had all that debris in the case. Yes put rings staggered. Assembly lube is a good thing to use freezing the bearings and heating the case great idea. Remember group, give this guy pointers we all started here and I always say to my techs when you were born could you walk? He is doing well and with good pointers from the group he will be a champ in this industry and hobby. Keep up the good work and drink in the good pointers given here.

[@RC-fu6hg]

You should press the outer race when pressing a bearing like that… I did it like you did and wreaked the inner race. Not criticizing just hoping to help avoid disaster.

[@wags9777]

a little lifehack for you is, Squirt a little hot glue between your lapping suction cup And the valve. It stays on until you're done and then everything comes off really easy when you want it to

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Hey Joe: First thing I have ever seen ya'll do I did not agree with. The crank bearings. Ya'll pushed on the center which pushes directly on the bearings. The bearings were not frozen overnight in the freezer and no co2 cooling. Anyone else would or could have ruined those bearings without a perfectly flat or actually pressing on the outer ring as that is where the force is applied. Don't mean to be a negative Nancy but you usually are very fastidious in your manipulations.

[@dennisbabcock5315]

I really have to agree with everyone that recommends a parts washer. My first reaction to watching the engine repairs was they won’t last due to all the junk that hasn’t been cleaned out of the new assembly. It takes a few extra minutes to clean the engine parts and another 30 minutes to power wash the entire vehicle. Will make a huge difference.

Also Joe: I am not sure why ya'll don't put a thin ceramic coating on both the pistons and heads. It reduces the metal temps by around ¿¿¿° saving both seals and bearings from heat of combustion. You put the coating on then put it in a small toaster oven for a bit so it don't come off.

[@jerrydespaltro4023]

If you are pressing a bearing into a hole, press on the outer race. If you are pressing a bearing on to a shaft, press on the inner race. Never transfer the pressing power through the balls. Freezing the bearings would make bearing installation less invasive on the aluminum case. The cylinder should be scrubbed in soapy water with a coarse nylon bristle brush. You need to remove the microscopic pieces of honing stone to prevent pemature ring wear. I may have some criticisms, but I still enjoy your videos!

[@stanwooddave9758]

Great Video. Time to up your knowledge. First, you need to purchase a set of Telescoping Gages (these are used to measure the inside diameter of objects, from as low 1/2" in., up to 6" in.) Second a couple of Micrometers, and a Caliper wouldn't hurt. For what your doing the Harbor FRIGHT (spelling intended) should work. It wouldn't hurt to search craiglists, or face crooks market place, for Starrett Tools (Machinist Gold Standard for Tooling.) Third, you need to go to your local welding supply, and ask about "Temp-Sticks," a.k.a. Temperature Sticks. From what I've seen you use heat on, to "EXPAND A BEARING," I would recommend something in the neighborhood of 250 Degree's up to only 400 degree's. FYI Aluminum melts @ 850 degrees approx. When using a temp stick, if as you mark a mark / draw a small line, and it seems like kids crayon's mark, the part is not hot enough, soon as you touch with the Temp-stick, it should melt CLEAR & WET. Instead of using SWAG Measurements. (SWAG = Scientific Wild A$$ Guess, ) you should want to control your Expandgence / Contractions, to a measurable (via Telescoping & Micrometers) 0.001.5" to 0.002.0" Thousandth. Just some FYI, besides using your home freezer, you could also use Dry-Ice. In my opinion Dry-Ice, is better than the home freezer. I'll leave out the liquid nitrogen for when you really want to shrink something. Liquid nitrogen-LN2-is nitrogen in a liquid state at low temperature. Liquid nitrogen has a boiling point of about −196 °C (−321 °F; 77 K). How to tell when using Liquid nitrogen, your part has reached MAXIMUM COLD. The part will stop boiling, while in the Liquid nitrogen. DO NOT TOUCH WITH BARE / UNGLOVED HANDS. For you Valve Lapping, make a Financial investment in a BLUE or RED SHARPIE Pen. This way your truly not SWAGING the valve seat. Coat both the valve-seat, and the valve face. Cost maybe a $1.50 (One-Dollar-Fifty Cents.) The sharpie, is a way to apply machinist bluing, without having to wait for the real stuff to dry after 5 - 10 min's. I like the BIGGER Sharpie's because they cover more surface area faster. Just a hint. For Valve-Lapping Standard Size Sharpie should work just fine.

You do a good job on rebuilds and don't get cheap on parts. That being said, you should find a local auto repair shop that has an "automatic caustic soda parts washer". They cost money to run and maintain, but it would be worth a buck a minute to put all your project large parts in for 30 minutes. Just turn the timer and come back to parts that look like new...and are VERY HOT. When our shop got one it improved the look and quality of our finished product and the time saving has paid for it several fold (but they are very expensive for a one-man gig).

Learn a ton watching and love them. Also go to comments regularly to learn what not to do also :) Takes thick skin to do what you do. Most people trying to help you improve. End of day better to focus on best practices rather then focus on pump video. Long term better to have community of people not yelling about pressing in center for bearings etc… if I was you I would make a note to not do that in your next video. But end of day what’s the goal here make video for money or help people learn properly what to do. If make mistake it’s best to note that and fix the issue so people learn. If don’t fix mistakes or let people know and they don’t go to comments to see problem then this isn’t a teaching channel it’s a content with no merit channel. It’s just a place for people to zone out and run it in the background. The small fixes that have outsized downsides people pointing out in the comments would literally take you 2 min. Put parts in cleaner while doing another video, that’s 1 min, and press on outside of bearing case (I’ve seen you do it properly 85% of the time on many other videos and even talk about it and how it’s important to do). That’s 2 min to do stuff right.

[@RvlifeIndiana]

I really enjoy it when you do a utv rebuild and wish you could find a o5 Polaris 500 to do

[@victorgerhardt1504]

Thanks for these videos! How do you remember all the little stuff?

[@jamessanders7408]

Good job Joe enjoy your videos keep up the good work

[@user-dv7hb2sc9m]

I'm not a mechanic but I love watching people do their "craft"....the good ones, that is. I'm curious how many hours were involved in pulling the engine, tearing it down/cleaning it up, and reinstalling? Also how many hours of reading to do it right? Ball park time is what I'm asking, if you know? peace & love to watch this...

[@robjaimiehickford4559]

Yep, never press radial bearings from the inner race. Use faced off round bar just a tad smaller than outter race OD.

[@william6526]

Im a little surprised that after spending the money you didnt clean up the outside of the engine case and the engine compartment tranmission and all the crud . It sure would look a lot better .

[@lawrencemacdonald-yz4vn]

Joe, don't listen to haters your videos are getting better and better.

[@jonathanglanville5265]

Hi Joe, Don't let the negative comments,get you down. Get a parts washer before kids come on the Horizon. You and Vinny will be hiding,in the garage then.😂

[@rockinrodney66]

I wish that I had your patience. Lol. I have so many projects, to fix and get running. Thanks for showing me how repairs should be done. Are you in Canada or northern US.

[@robertanderson-yx8mo]

Amazed that conrod never went through the crank case.How could you run an engine like that it must have sounded like a jack hammer

[@mikeds7004]

Beau boulot Je pense qu'il serait bien que vous achetiez une fontaine pour nettoyage des pièces. Ça vous ferait plaisir Good job

[@beanzZzTF]

ive really enjoyed watching your vids as I plan on flipping bikes as a side hustle and wondered what your history with small engines have been? have u gone to school for it or just accumulated knowledge over the years?

[@beanzZzTF]

you make diagnosing look easy and wondered

[@jamesjackson189]

Clean engine would look nice for a day or two. Nice work, love watching

[@darrynruzicka2883]

Not sure if the instruction you were following were the service manual or just the instructions that came with the kit but usually in situations like this with high torque values and steel threads to aluminum you should use liberal moly grease on the threads and the bolt heads and washers if any. That way you get topper torque and bolt stretch.

[@bradley7723]

Just for future reference the ring gaps should not be placed on the pistons pressures points relative to the cyl. you want them on the pin side of the piston to ensure proper sealing. IE: place gap at 9 or 3 o'clock compress ring with fingers at 12 & 6 closes fine, now turn ring gap to 12 or 6 and once again compress at 12 & 6, you'll notice it won't compress properly. Same as in the cyl. the piston has all the force applied at 12 and 6, you can see this on old pistons that will not have worn at 3 & 9 but always at 12&6. Not trying to be that "guy" just passing along a bit of info. Keep up the hard work I'm rooting for you. 🙂 Edit: parts washer?

[@user-fi3fx5my2s]

You can lap them and hone it out it's not gonna hurt anything. Will definitely help.

[@mattsunn4192]

Great video, thanks.

[@pugnboots5683]

Nice job, love your videos

[@lawerncemiller6557]

All valves should be lapped to make sure both the seat an valve are touching all the way around the seat if it isnt the seats in the head needs recut , can't believe the halfass cleaning job on this complete rebuild job along with the just perfect mechanic work

[@pollo13951]

Rebuild videos are always great!! Happy new new year to Joe and everyone here👍🏻

[@alanrichardson1672]

This is a perfect video about how to not rebuild an engine. Awful workmanship, absolutely awful! 👎

[@alanrichardson1672]

What about measuring the ring gap?

[@lesliewood3616]

Not a mechanic but at 642 on video main bearing replacement l thought you needed to push on outer ring of bearing to not stress or wreck bearing itself am l wrong? Love the show. Thank you for your hard work.

[@williamreese2477]

I keep a can of oven cleaner for the carbon on head and piston clean.works well.keep up the good work

[@jimw6991]

Watch Fitzees Fabrication channel. He buys oven cleaner at a dollar store and uses it as a decreased before pressure washing. He's cheap, but has some great tips and techniques!

[@jimw6991]

Degreaser

[@jamesjackson189]

A clean engine would look nice for a day are two. Awesome tech work
