One of the best restoration channels great tradesman

[@theworkshopuk]

Thanks much appreciated, thanks!

[@ronniehdable]

It's so cool to see the old timers and the knowledge they posses . This is a dying art. And it is art. A smooth running balanced motor sounds like Mozart to me. Thanks again for sharing . God speed

[@theworkshopuk]

So true.

[@vernonhall6804]

Building my first 45. you have saved my ass on so many things. thanks for these vids my friend.

[@theworkshopuk]

You're welcome - glad they have helped. If you get stuck or want a video on anything specific then just let me know!

This guy must be a human torque wrench... love this video.

[@jeffreyfox8250]

always a pleasure to see a WL build video. Im currently working on the engine of my 49 WL, how thick is the bearing race dimension in the case? I'm using a 0.098 and a 0.102 washers on my crankshaft and wonder if the case bearing races have been worn down but i do not know the stock thickness

[@stevebengtson1537]

Great Video! It Helped Me A Lot. Only Thing, According to My Book, the Fiber Washer on the Generator Idler Gear Should be on the Cover Side. Thanks for Posting...!!

[@dgchj]

Thanks for sharing all this! More videos like these would be great

[@theworkshopuk]

Cheers Henri, lots more to come!

[@ajc5370]

Thanks for the great video why not use James gaskets instead of liquid?

[@mofosheee01]

Hello Rie............ I have a 1975 XR750 that is being restored. Can you tell me about cam bearings you would use? I'm looking for info on Manufacture and grade of bearings. Thank you. Regards

[@charleswiley8540]

I hope you can help. The cam cover was chromed many years ago and the flutter valve that allows oil from the breather tube reservoir back into the crankcase is frozen solid. Have you ever replaced / repaired one?

[@theworkshopuk]

Hi Charles, we just filmed a Q&A today and answered your question - the video will be up in a few weeks so stay tuned!

[@lophloph07]

Can you change the cams with the cylinders, valves and tappet blocks still on the bike?

[@christianmccollum1028]

Fascinating. Thank you for posting.

[@theworkshopuk]

You're welcome!

[@73Alec]

Thank you for the video. I was wondering, do I need to check the clearance between the generator pinion and the driving pinion located in the timing cover? (There are a few paper shims between the generator and the housing on my one). I noticed that you had the timing cover bolted on prior to fitting the generator.

[@gregsandifer2398]

Great job as usual!

[@theworkshopuk]

Cheers Greg!

Did Ash take apart the flywheel and connecting rods in this rebuild? Or did he deem that assembly good to go without having to take it apart? Thanks!

[@theworkshopuk]

Ash answered your quesstion in this weeks episode kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoSUZI2If61_rM0

[@piperdoug428]

Question for Ash the Mighty, what’s the highest mileage vehicle he’s had and what’s the most miles on a vehicle he’s worked on? My currant work truck is 362,000kms and my older farm truck that’s in the shop for some attention has 441,000kms

[@jorgeaparicio762]

How about torque, you do have a manual??

제바이크도 크랭크쪼개서 수리해야하는돼 제대로 수리하는곳이 없어 고민입니다 믿을사람도 기술도 안돼니 걱정입니다

[@theworkshopuk]

영국에 계시다면 저희에게 가져오세요!

[@이경준-z7k]
