Removing The Head Was A FIGHT

[@Dottlingfool]

Soak the piston and cylinder bore with PB Blaster would be a fun test for future rusty projects.

[@joemurchie]

One of the things that makes this channel so good is your willingness to not give up on projects. I would have stopped when it got dark, then when the engine needed to come out to get the head off. That cantankerous, wont give up attitude is so entertaining. When the valves looked pretty good, I thought it wouldn't look terrible in the cylinder... boy was I wrong.

[@user-MotoZhelezki]

Honda TL 250 is a very rare and interesting motorcycle! It would be great if you continued working on it. There is nothing terrible in the cylinder head, you just need to clean it. Perhaps the cylinder will have to be honed with a honing attachment. In these engines, due to lack of oil, the camshaft becomes unusable. Yours is in good condition, so we can assume that everything else is quite suitable for work! Good luck, dude! I would be happy to see the work on this motorcycle!

[@Jools-j2l]

Why not free it up and fix it?, I reckon its doable, heat the barrel externally, oil the bore allow it to seep past the rings, show us how skilled you are!

[@joemurchie]

It's a job that could be completed, but for what? He has no interest in the bike so freeing up the motor doesn't make much sense.

[@Freeman-eo2lx]

if he doesn't want to build it no sense in putting time into it

So great to see the Shasta again!

That TL could run again , just needs a little TLC . 😉 !

Good one!!

I see a Shasta sitting behind the shed that got me all distracted

@@charlesmoyer5321 Oh yeah, I remember I was there for them. I was just thinking the other day that they were living in a newer one and wondered if they still had the rejuvenated Shasta

Glad your back again today

Glad to be here

reminded me of this: 🎼I'm glad you came around today I sure need a good companion I'm losing it but you're the same Without you I move at random 🎵🎶

​@jenniesgarage hello jake nice to meet you I'm from the uk I'm just wondering about your shaster camper travel trailer please give us an update on it and please continue more of the shaster video and we are near towards the end of the year 2024 and soon January 2025

[@Fireblade96]

I'm really happy you're still doing what you're doing and posting videos! I haven't been on your channel in far too long. Cheers!

[@joemurchie]

They've been posting a video every night! You've got some catching up to do.

[@Fireblade96]

@ you're not kidding! I've been away much too long.

[@cohiak]

5:03 Shasta sighting!

[@joshgreencorn7309]

I think you need to loosen the engine mount bolts and lower the engine forward, I had the same problem with my XT 600

[@AndyADVenture]

I like the flames on your JIS screwdriver

[@AvaPxiaO]

you can get little led bulbs light up but resistor type bulbs just ground the ignition coil like a kill switch does. So use the kill switch as your power and try something with a few leds. You can attempt to fabricate a little coil and figure a way to attach it next to flywheel, charge a small li-ion battery and a led headlight, you still need a regulator. See on discount sites for a charging coil for mowers and garden engines which have electric start added to them as accessory. Cheap or just get the idea to fabricate one. Two holes on something with insulated copper wire wound around. Modify a guitar magnet :) Remember led is a diode not a resistance.

[@Seansworld17]

Usually with the Hondas you have to remove the front mounts and loosen the rear through bolts the engine will kick forward and fall enough to slip the cylinder off the studs and still clear the frame. Maybe a rear bolt has to be removed but not all of them.

[@Biokemist-o3k]

I was so happy to see you dropped a video...I picked it up right away...lol...I just ordered a new set of JIS drivers earlier today...-John

[@Simpleguy2313]

Woot woot keep the videos coming

[@ralfnjan]

Life is good! At 6 minutes I saw the Shasta!

[@ScrapPileRepair]

You have a beautiful place there.

[@peteramberley9952]

Jake pour some mystery oil in there over night or rust remover and then get a block of wood and smash the piston down and try and free it off.what have you got too lose.i reckon you can get that engine too run again😊

[@2wheelLove]

I can hear how this daily thing has been affecting you and camera girl in this video. Im so happy to see you guys so often but...pls know that id stil watch even if it wasnt every day. You guys are awesome. And ill always click on one of jennies garage video!

You might try melt-welding the seam on that gas IV if you can at all narrow down where it's leaking.

Are the subscribers increasing? It seems to be at the same number as it was since the start of this series. 349k

[@jenniesgarage]

Actually they are net decreasing a bit. I think now that the channel is really active, people that subscribed years ago but aren't really into us are tired of having the notification every day. I call it the cleansing. Thank you for subscribing!

[@wobblysauce]

@@jenniesgaragecould have been yellow car followers.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

Subscriber numbers means pretty much nothing these days anyway, unless you're trying to impress potential sponsors/investors. It's the view count, watch time and channel engagement that pleases the Algorithm (that can and will change without notice).

[@TheProCut17]

kudos for not cussing the cam shaft (on camera anyway lol)

[@rel124c41a]

Just get some Seal All to fix the gas leak on the IV.

[@MrCoreyanderson]

IMO you don’t need to wrench on bikes every video. Some content of life is just as appreciable to me. Your outlook on life is always entertaining and we only see half the crews hobbies as is 😜 need some old school pov shots of some exploring on the road bikes!

Enjoying the dail videos, in the past used to wonder when you were going to post, I know life gets in the way and it takes a lot to do, but it's appreciated, norammly only watch UK based motorcycle channels, but your's is great. It's about the people and the bikes. Really interesting

[@jeschreindl]

Man dont scrap that bike especially the motor whatever you do. There’s a lot of good parts there still and they’re getting hard to get for those early xl and tl with the side ports. Also you can still find oem oversized pistons for them if you do some looking online 👍🏻

[@billbillinger2491]

Film the lawn tractor repairs. It's a change of repairs and plenty of viewers will also gain from it.

[@kenforehand9667]

I spy with my little eye.... a SHASTA!!!

[@UncannySense]

Pour some vinegar on top of the piston and top it up to the cylinder...let it soak for 2 days. The head is savable but the tapered extractor was a mistake. Probably would require drilling out and a helicoil.

[@Jonny2Fingers]

DEZ 🥜

[@jenniesgarage]

Yeah I walked right into that one

[@trxtech3010]

Don't scrap the cylinder head. It CAN be repaired. You can even send it to me and I will repair it free of charge just for a Shout Out lol

[@leonardos5398]

My mechanical skills and qualities are better today because your wife bought you JIS drivers long ago and that video made me buy myself a set. I learn a lot from your display of skills and funny jokes, you're truly inspiring and i really enjoy the daily videos.

The vinegar trick for rust come back often in the comments, I should give it a go one day. This feeling of "I will finish this tonight" is great. I also do this with my projects. I hope this channel will expand, you deserve it

[@Mrzizzy69]

can you coat the inside of the IV gas tank with epoxy?

[@chrisseidel6347]

thats what I was thinking too. or a bag(?)

Three minutes in and Jake gets board.. 😊 Dump some vinegar in it and wait a few days. It will look like new once it's cleaned up.

I feel like that would need an overbore and oversize piston or overbore and sleeve to recover. Gotta be so much pitting and wall damage with the condition thats in.

Why you complaining bout how much time the video took to film. It’s only like 17min long 😉

If the bottom end and trans are good and oily which I'm sure they are the top end can literally cleaned up with a wire brush and will see flames again.
