Just about to re-assemble my 400 twin top end with the crankcase still in situ and wondered how difficult it was going to be to drop the barrels back down over the pistons rings. It looks like yours went on with no hassle with no need for any piston ring compressors. Perhaps I should have saved my money buying them. Very clear video, Thank you.

This is a great video, I have a CL175 that I'll need to pull the head off and I was wondering how the cam chain could be removed. I didn't know it had a master link and now I should be able to disassemble it and lap the valves with no problem. Very good production quality and super clear. I wish all DIY videos were this good.

The cam chain can be a real trick. The best advice I would share is using long zip ties attached to each end to help pass the chain through to the top of the head and keep hold of them while assembly. A helper around with an extra set of hands is also a huge advantage! Good luck!

For your future engine build ups use much less gasket sealer. Using too much will not seal the gaskets any better but will potentially contaminate the oil passages. A little goes a long way.

Thanks for the video! Just what I’m about to get into on a CB175 I bought.

Looks good... My question is how did you get the cylinder over the pistons without a ring compressor tool?

squishing rings with fingers

The bottom of the cylinders are beveled so they go in reasonably easy.

Beautifully filmed. Did you check the ring gap on those new piston rings? I've just undertaken the same job for the first time, and I'm not sure if I've made a mistake by not gapping them.

I did check the gap. I've done 2 other engines since then and with all three the ring gap was good right out of the box. I don't know if that is "normal" or if I'm bad at checking them... or maybe just lucky.

@@milesandhours Ahh! I really should get it apart again and check. Frustrating. But not so much as a seized piston in the future I guess.

WHAT IS THE RED "GOOP" IF YOU WILL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN USING/PUT ON TOP OF THE PISTONS? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Assembly lube... it is thick and slightly sticky-ish so it helps during the initial start up of the engine. All parts stores sell some variety of it (it isn't always red).
