NSU Prima Restoration Part 5 - Engine Disassembly, Left Side

I can't put it off any longer... it's time we go on a journey to the centre of the crankcase!

Hello there, my father found a NSU prima in his shed not so long ago and these videos are motivating me to restore it. This series is very informative and will be great help for when i'm stumped on whatever problem I might face. 👌👌can't wait for the next video.

Fantastic stuff, thanks for the message! It's really great to hear about some of these scooters still around the place. I hope it goes well for you. They are truly amazing technology!

I really enjoy to see your videos! Excellent made! As my 1952 NSU kick-lambretta needed same coparable support some years ago I am really ecited to see you working on the right engine side which I could not finish finally. Everything else is comparably easy to fix I feel… so I left out gearbox as well as right side main sealing. So the scooter is running well, but consuming and loosing gearbox oil. Luckily not leaking into the brake. Frank

@@frankst5889 Thanks for the comment, Frank! Sometimes it's just easier to keep topping up a leaky box when time is short. My VW is getting the same treatment, so I understand. I'm really looking forward to getting the next NSU video finished but my everyday job keeps getting in the way! 😭

Someone beat that hub like it owed them money 😂. Good to see you're back with another video!

Unfortunately work keeps getting in the way! 😂

Thanks for another engaging update. I'm unlikely to ever work on one of these, but it's fascinating none the less. On the other hand, I AM about to pull the Type 4 engine out of my 1977 Bay for an 'ancillaries refresh', so will be leaning heavily on that excellent earlier series of yours. 😊 Just need to find a vapour blaster in West London to get that 'factory fresh' look!

Fantastic news, Matthew! Enjoy the experience. Plenty of cups of tea to be had while doing it, best of luck with the lump!

see you soon 😊

[@kornikowaty]

Thanks for that. I put a lot of hope to your videos. I will start my restoration when you finish your records, otherwise I'll stuck waiting for instructions ;-). Hurry up! summer is about to come. When next chapter?

[@techshebeen]

😅 Thanks, Dominik! The next video is about 30% complete, but summer is my busiest time so things are going slower than I would like. The good news is the cylinder is re-bored to a new piston and I have it back. It might go slow but it never stops!

Super!

Hi did you make a video of the gearbox side crankcase rebuild on the NSU Prima D? I couldn't find it

[@techshebeen]

@@jasonlain-d1b That one is in progress! Still filming, because work keeps getting in the way... 😭
