Hey I only have 1 gasket on the part where you said there should be 2??? Just came from factory please get back to me

[@DefineDeft]

Yeah I have the same problem 😕

[@codyconnor8353]

​@@DefineDeftYall talking about the head gasket? I only have one as well

[@keeganhache6667]

Hey tony just a little tip on the cylinder head. It’s better if you were to tighten it in a x pattern so you won’t warp the head. If you tighten it side by side it also can damage the head gasket and you will loose compression

[@bmxscape]

technically an x pattern is just side by side. on a square head theres no other way to do it, you have to tighten a bolt next to the one you just tightened

[@JoshHardy303]

Super informal ! Love it!

Hi Tony on your demo bike you had a longer exhaust, what style of exhaust pipe is that ? Thanks for the great video.

[@person-ce8cr]

Much easier than a 4 stroke mounting set up. #builditright

Wish I would have known that before I got my head on and it never told me that in the how to video. Praying it was right when I got it 👍 🙏

[@warrenfox5458]

What's up Tony love to watch the show. You should put a rag around the crankcase so you don't drop anyting in the bottom end. Given you one of my points because I use yours 😜

[@dillonprentice7940]

1:00 I only have one gasket on mine

[@fixitfast-xk8fj]

Lightly tighten in a circular pattern till all are snug tight add a quarter turn in a criss cross pattern .in the 1980s if we wanted a high compression head we would add 20 /30 pounds of over tork ...worked great made a lot louder though 😊

[@nathanremus9495]

Hey Tony my bike and stage 4 engine arrives in 2 days, what size socket do I need to buy for putting the engine together and what other tools should I buy to assemble the engine as well as the bike? Thanks bro!

i have not put it together but i might tomorrow

[@treska5436]

I'm getting one of these tomorrow as my first build, excited but worried how good of a job will I do What kind of fue mixture can be used? To break in can I use 40:1? Saw a vp brand can for two cycle engines in tractor supply company

[@MrShaaman6969]

[@gotchurebeacons-gaming9023]

Hey Tony! Great video! I love those intake and exhaust gaskets! The ones I get are paper-thin. Where do I get them?

Those came on the engine kit. I’ll dig in and see if they have a gasket package and let you know.

[@gotchurebeacons-gaming9023]

[@davidparr8440]

How many washers do you put on the high performance cylinder head are you putting one on for each bolt or two you're not being very thorough now I'm at a standstill because I don't know if I put one or two I'm assuming two

[@davidjohanson9997]

Is there anyway you guys to make a manual clutch for four cycle engine?

Question for ya I got a 100cc gas bicycle motor off of Amazon last year and I just found out tonight that my piston do not go all the way down past the exhaust hole you can see the top ring and it covers up half of the hole what should I do and how would I fix it or can it be fixed

[@ncebafalaza800]

Hi Terry plis help me my bike stuck more often and it take too long to start, what could be the problem

[@Davidsmith218]

The ridge under the piston is on both sides of 2 piston one is a windowed piston and the other is a stock with no arrow but both have the hump you talked about on both sides of the wrist pin ?

[@treska5436]

Mine only came with one of those carton type gasket, will there be a problem?

[@mileshurst7359]

Mine came with only one base gasket... is that ok to go ahead like that, with just the one? the washers were on top like shown here. Stage 4, btw.

[@abrokendowncar]

Mine is the same, I emailed them and they say that 1 gasket is fine

[@andrewgonzalez4230]

Same, not sure how much it messes with the squish and port timings and all. I bought mine last year and have put some miles on it. Still runs strong, replaced minor things so far.

[@mikepeppers5145]

Alright I could give some assistance on my twin stingray my Orange County Chopper replica

[@mattparker9726]

6:47 I watched your video on heads years ago? I think it was yours. Anyways, I have that exact head on my bike right now I like it because of heat dissipation, rather than increased power, IDK if it really gives more power, IMO it just makes the engine harder to start. Good for longer rides though.

[@normanjames9039]

Tony what size are the headbolts and studs

[@Davidsmith218]

What should be the height of the piston at tdc to the jug/ cylinder I have a cylinder that the piston is way low in the cylinder like the piston could be higher

[@garylee7774]

Looks like the clip was backwards. You don't want the wrist pin able to touch the wing. It will push the clip into the engine and cause failure. No grease or oil? 12 ft lbs. for the high COOLING head. Fenders will put you in the hospital. You should cover the open case of the engine so nothing falls in, like a wrist pin clip, or debris. Never tighten the head that much.

[@levihamm6640]

Mine came with only one of the bottom gaskets and an extra set of washers on the cylinder bolts, what should I do?

[@lucianlucian1116]

I could mount an 80 cylinder and piston on a 100 engine because in Romania there are no 100 cylinder and pistons, I want to point out that it fits in holes only that the 100 cc cylinder and piston is 50 mm and the 80 cc has 47mm?

[@ronpac6422]

I would oil the conrod, wrist pin and wrist pin bearing before installing. Also does BikeBerry install the piston into the cylinder dry? Looks dry.

[@tonytaylor5087]

Hey Ron, nope it wasn’t dry. You could certainly add additional oil to all the parts.

[@kimdecastro9156]

great video .will the two gaskets . rob horse power . compare to one gasket . or there is no different in one or two gaskets . the motor will run the same .

[@ernestjacobs3999]

If you run one less gasket your piston could hit the plug or head which would cause catastrophic damage. Sometimes it won’t hit but it’s a 50/50 chance. I wouldn’t trust it though. And sure if you remove one gasket you may get a little power boost but don’t risk it.

[@tryme7316]

So quick question i bought a stage 1 or the bare minimum kit and the carb leaks out of the mouth of the carb, is it just some needed float adjustment, or some other problem?

[@tonytaylor5087]

Hey Try me, that’s a good question for our Facebook group. I put the link above. Go in there and post a short video of the problem you’re having and we’ll help you resolve it.

[@mozezcen-valley7555]

[@billperkins8060]

I would like to have one of them Motors I live in California I'm having a hard time getting one shipped how can I go about getting one

[@tonytaylor5087]

BikeBerry is located in California so shipping won’t be a problem when ordering from the site.

[@larryshaver3568]

do you use loc-tite on the exhaust port nuts?

[@tonytaylor5087]

Nope, I just check those often.

[@CJU1991]

What if the posts are bent? Can I heat it up bend it back? I don’t wanna break stuff before I begin building.

[@tonytaylor5087]

You mean the stud bolts? If so just take them out and put a couple of nuts on them, put in a vice and bend straight.

[@JackPoet-eb4ur]

You just slid it right down. Well, I'm not able to do it without.great effort. The bolts are bound, when I get to the piston , it's stopped,stuck. I'm going to add a little WD40.

[@Bobs-yer-uncle]

Do you have to use that front mounting plate on the Switz Cruz I'm building mine right now and it looks like it would fit without it anyone know better than me 😁

[@tonytaylor5087]

You don’t have to but in most cases the engine sits too low.

[@asphaltcowboy7868]

I have found that the arrow on the piston, more often then less faces the intake side when it comes to any bbr engine...

[@alexhickey5633]

I stopped paying attention to those tbh. Ring pins towards the intake always!

[@ibizstudio761]

Leave both gaskets on? How come mine only came with one?

[@stephendejohn6543]

My engine only came with one gaskit on the bottom i called customer service and the girl told me its ok with one gasket??? Is this correct?? Also the rear sprocket did not have the three smaller plates that go on the inside...she told me its been redesigned and the second gasket and the sprocket plates are no longer needed ..first time builder...help please

[@lonewolfnocb]

[@larryshaver3568]

i heard that the cast cylinder heads can get hotspots which shortens the engine's life

[@fadedum5007]

[@georgeiceman867]

What would happen if you remove one gasket from cylinder base ? Thx

[@abrokendowncar]

Mine only came with 1 gasket and when I emailed them they said it was fine, so idk

[@Daniel_Taft]

Mine also only came with one gasket.

[@Westhelockpicker]

They slip by a lot with the arrow pointed the wrong way and I also use better clips and I don't use those crappy nuts that come with the kit to bolt the head on. I use good washers and nuts

[@CartmansC0q]

It would also be nice if bike berry made a video were they aren’t using the heavy duty mount. I wanna know where to put my spacers.

[@nataliepotter3635]

We got two of these for our daughters kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L the same size for age 6 and 9. It works very well for both girls. Gears were very easy for them to learn. Changing gears up takes some hand strength and is a bit hard, but they are learning. They did not come with water bottle holders- we actually got confused and thought the Derailler Guard was the bottle holder!! Regardless of these details, the bikes are fantastic- even our six year old who only just learned to ride bikes caught on within an hour of practice and loves it. Lightweight and easy for them to handle. All the parts are in excellent condition and the bikes are easy to assemble and very well packaged. Great choice for kids!

[@mattclinch1976]

No torque specs for the head bolts? Aluminum heads are softer. So I'm guessing 14-16lbs each?

The window is the same side (exhaust) as the arrow. IF i turn it around the ring pins are on the exhaust side, which is wrong and can get damaged on the exhaust port in the sleeve. So ... BB decides to send me this video starting at the 5:00 minute mark. COME ON!!!!

Found out that the "barrel" timing in the reed valve "KIT" was totally off. I switch out one thing at a time until i had only the barrel left. The barrel was the problem. So basically i put everything back the way it was and it runs. Beware of those "reed valve barrel kits".
