A lot of challenges are thrown at us when we are repairing bikes with a few years on them you must feel elated as I do just watching the last couple of videos, Well done you

[@michaelevans1658]

Feel your pain with the cylinder head .My brother car mechanic for 40 years ,never forget the look on his face when he was given a Triumph Stag cylinder head to sort out .

[@Moonfleet41]

Ha ha.. i bet you had fun with that... Thanks for watching Michael..

[@johnkimble1647]

It's a man of integrity that takes responsibility for his words and is willing to admit he was wrong. You're a good man Del.

[@pbysome]

For future reference and i concede you got them out and done well to do so, if you weld a thick washer on first you get a better weld on the nut also when you sprayed the jollop on it you doomed it to fail, number 1 you cooled it when heat was your friend and by quenching it with the cold spray you made it brittle/hard, Just my 2bobs worth And as they say the proof of the pudding and all that, you got them out so well done mush.😊

[@shanco73]

Do not know where you find your patience, but it is admirable!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, finding solutions and conquering problems is as rewarding as winning prizes and contests, and patience is the best tool you can bring to the job!

[@alanpiper9614]

Just a suggestion Del, get yourself a set of left hand drill bits for sheared stud/bolt extraction, they work a treat and sometimes actually extract the sheared stud without needing to use an easy out or tapping the threads. Good idea when re-installing the new studs to prevent them seizing in again to the aluminium head is to use a heavy grease like AquaShield to help prevent the galvanic corrosion. Be careful using a never seize that it is suited for the metals of the studs and head or it can cause the same galvanic corrosion in the head.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Alan, for this one im investing in some AL 1100 from Wurth, and by all accounts its perfect for this application, and will make it not only possible, but easy, to get them out in the future. ! Thanks for the heads up on the Aquasheild, i hear good things about that all the time

[@bernardconnery6038]

Ahhh the satisfaction of overcoming diffs.....well done Del, you inspire us all. Chin up mate - you have many, many admirers, don't let the bastards grind you down!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Bernard, its really rewarding to make this kind of progress, and more tom come in the next one, as the air injection system has to come off too...big pants on for that one..lol!

[@getoffmygrass6974]

if only every mechanic took as much pride in their work as Del. The down right dirty parts of the build that most people wouldn't see but Del instills precision workmanship no matter the job. We could all learn to be better mechanics by following his regimen. Never gets old watching the Master at work and retaining free knowledge...way to work Del!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thaks mate, you're too kind, just attention to detail and patience, so much can be achieved by taking your time and working methodically aye... Have a good weekend and ride safe.. Del.

[@topschrott7112]

Verdammt noch mal sehr gute Arbeit, bin Stolz auf dich. Hätte ich nicht gedacht das der Motor noch zu retten ist! Geil.

[@raydouglas5896]

Well done Del, you deserve a bit of luck after that battle. Watching these videos with great interest.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Ray. Glad you enjoyed it

[@petervaughan4591]

And we’re back on track!...awesome, well executed.👍🏻

[@grecoa7]

Hi Del well done! You may want to try a set of Left Hand drill bits, they can bite into the bolt and pull it out as you drill, especially once you've drilled it as well as you did.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Bloody hell that was a lot of fuss for a few studs. Fair play to you Del. Only once I've ever had to do that stuff extraction thing and I hated doing it but once it was all done and dusted I felt chuffed that I overcome such a pain in the arse. It was all rear anti roll bar bracket studs on the underside of my car.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hey Johny, Yeah, broken and rusted studs are always a challenge, and like you im glad im last that stage.. Good to see you back mate.. hope life is good.. Del.

[@nicholasnarcowich9163]

Love your video & results, look forward to more :-) Godspeed.

[@markline3672]

A bit late now I know, but one way to release seized nuts and bolts is to heat them cherry red then rub wax on while they're still hot. The wax wicks into the corrosion in the threads and helps to break them free, tighten the fastener slightly first then carefully loosen them off, it's never failed me.

[@Moonfleet41]

Interesting procedure, ill give that try some time mate.. Thanks.

[@74bikes68]

Absolute Great Job and awesome pictures of the welding!

[@ewwmin3m]

recently picked up one of those threading kits. works nice for cleaning out debris and rust.

Hi Del. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now. I have now plucked up the courage to tackle the FZ750 in the garage that hasn’t turned a wheel in 7 years. I’ve just got to get the necessary parts. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hey Brian, Blimey, thanks mate, thats very kind of you to say, and damn good luck with the FZ750 mate, have fun with it and enjoy the journey.. Let us know how you get on aye.

Weld a flat washer that just slots over the bolt and weld then weld the nut best practice I find I got shown it when I started out you get more strength

Thanks for the video.

[@Butterfly07949]

Got this to do on my bike also but I have the added bonus of only having two cylinders to work on. Don't know what kind of exhaust studs they are as there are no flats on the outside and there dosent appear to be anything to insert in the middle, no metric allen keys fit anyway. Thinking of buying a used head and working on that as then I can carry on using the bike. Nice one Del as always 😀

[@Moonfleet41]

Hey Marc, yeah they're all different and they will challenge you at every turn... but that's why we love it aye?! Take care and keep safe, D&Px

[@andydawson2070]

Great result on the engine, I think you were right about the knee jerk reaction but I think most people would be the same, at least you were sensible about achieving an outcome and didn't sound off like so many others on KZbin do, no point in burning your bridges eh. Gave you a good chance to practice some of those skills and show your followers some alternative methods when things go wrong, I would probably have resorted to a BFH. Glad the build is still rolling on. Have a great weekend Dell, catch up next week.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Andy.. Thanks mate, its a long old process and frustrating having to fit it all between work and wait till i can next get at it .. but happy its out of the woods now, and only the little bolts to do ... have a good weekend mate, and ride safe.. Del.

Good work on getting the bolts out Del, thats not an easy thing to do, especially insitu. Work of caution on Goodridge fittings, ive used them at work for years with no issues. However, recently invoved in a project where we used the black fittings, suprising amount of them didnt appear to seal on the taper, needed loosening and tightening again several times to get them to seal. Got there in the end but worth keeping an eye on.

[@Moonfleet41]

Seriously? Thanks mate, that's a gem and will save me a lot of grief... just for the moment, am fitting all this stuff dry and loose, like you do with any project build, but come the final assembly, and build up, then I'll look long and hard in to that one... the fittings are HEL not Goodrich so it's possible the taper isn't identical... and may need to revise the actual pipes for HEL pipes in the future, so great info and much appreciated mate ... thanks!

[@motorart4670]

Well done

YEA! SUCCESS! Those grade 8 bolts can be a blessing and damned all the same. Glad to see you cleared that hurtle! I see you have been putting that freezing spray to task. If i may suggest, (just a suggestion, Del): For the bolts holding the oil cooler lines, HEAT! I'm no fan of that freezing spray. When heat is applied to a steel fastener that is installed in aluminium. The aluminum will expand faster than the steel. Remove the bolt(s) while its HOT! Sweet job on the drilling & taping!

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Scott.. Thanks for your input mate, and yeah, im gonna hit those little oil pipe screws with some heat, they screw into the sump and engine case.. a bit weak for an impact driver.. so another nail biter this weekend.. but fingers crossed, the freeze penetrating oil still wicks up into the thread by the looks of it, and ive been hitting it with a few sprays over the last few days.. so maybe with the heat, it'll swell the casing away like you say.. fingers crossed aye.!

have you tried secret sauce(gear oil/auto trans fluid and acetone) or candle wax (on the hot stud) for unsiezing if there is a little bit of stud sticking out you could make a sleeve out of threaded bar and used a nut to hold the sleeve to the snapped stud..... then use the sleeve as a guide for your drill for keeping it centre.... the joy of owning a lathe loving the cafe busa build board

Well done Del, I thought you were going to use screw extractors which fill me with horror as a bolt snapped off on an exhaust header in 1978 on a GS750. The screw extractor I used snapped off too and they’re too hard to drill and I had to get the heads stripped and sent off to have them fitted with a new exhaust collar and argon arc welded, great job but and didn’t damage any of the cooling fins either! Scarily cutting edge on a Japanese bike in the 70’s tho 😱 😄
