Royal enfield bullet engine disassembly

[@petergoddard1960]

I see a lot of negative comments on this video. My observation is that it is mechanics like these who have kept the enfield and motorcycling alive in India. They work hard, in fairly basic conditions and know the bike inside out. They've done this for years on relatively low wages. Yes the techniques here are a little brutal, but they know how to get the job done on a budget and I have no doubt that engine would run like it should when they were finished. You pay your money and you take your choice.

[@reginalda350]

i respect mechanics but seeing guys like these will only make me feel like pulling my hair. i mean, hitting the cylinder head studs with a steel hammer? seriously? using a tube under the exhaust port n using the crashguard as fulcrum to lever the cylinder head out will not only damage the crashguard but also might make the exhaust port leak!

[@reginalda350]

seriously this isnt the way to work on bullets or any engines for that matter!

[@riknang77]

Reginald Joslyn i agree this is nightmare for me i never open engine like this.

[@getsetgarden]

Great stuff! I was searching madly for a disassembly video and this is exactly what I was looking for. Will help me greatly to restore my vintage G2. Thanks a ton!

[@notwocdivad]

My sentiments exactly, As a mechanic he makes a good Butcher. All that honking would drive me batty.

[@papilon975]

thanks sefra, its these good old mechanics that keep the REs on the road running. one of my old mechanic just passed away last month and new guys arent much interested in REs.

[@naveenchandrakumar480]

Thank you Sefra, I really enjoyed and learnt a lot about the bullet engine by your video. I really want someone do the same thing for RE DS 500, instead of wasting their time in filthy language comments.

[@iphone202020220]

+naveen chandra Kumar Here is a tip, That's not how you disassemble a bullet.

[@petehuskins]

In the year i spent travelling round india in 1990, i did all my own repairs!! You do get to see some amazing sights!

[@sauravbasu8805]

on Royal Enfield bullet I guess ?

[@SefraCorrea]

i cannot afford a surgery meaning the fine man helping me is adept at surgery too but he has a price/time criteria owing to the skill to machines ratio in belgaum .. his workshop measures 15*10 foot -. no bench .. i would want to see ur tooling and skill set .. please upload video responses ..

[@reverb67]

The hammer seems an important tool in engine revision...

[@scottfarraway34]

Sefra, thank you for posting this video! I am a Royal Enfield fan and a fan of Indian culture. It was really interesting to see the mechanics techniques and the sounds in the background. Hope you got her going again!

[@lgbraganza1]

from the looks of it.. i think he had to buy a new bike!!

[@404pride]

Yeh Mechanic hai ki JALLAD,HAZZAM hai

[@yaroslavdoroshenko]

Хорошая техника, толково сделано. Наши конструкторы до сих пор такого сделать не смогли.

[@olafzijnbuis]

The good thing is that in the end it always works again. More or less that is. I always wonder why these people never get some proper tools. Ok, time is not of the essence in India, but I would just not like to work this way. This is not an emergency roadside repair, This is the way they all work, all the time. The really bad thing is that it just does not bother them to work on the floor with a peace of wood and a big hammer.

[@ibrahimbawi]

I had an old friend of mine who is a car mechanic. most of his special tools are handmade.. if he needed a pully puller and can't find one, hell he will build one.

[@racoondiver]

Hi, I'm not into cooking but I like this video, will be a great help to me.

[@staninjapan07]

Why not remove the entire engine first, and then strip it on a bench?

[@dongodsmanna]

Wow ! Really dint expect it to be 1973. Happy Thumping !

[@skhimachal8772]

Bhai ye jo coil sistam he ye new mode ka lga ya he ya pele se instol tha kyo ki meri bike me dusra sistam he me ye bala krna chata hu ho skta he kya

[@cbbeanbags]

Great camera work, clarity and editting. That must have kept you busy for a while.

[@rajendarmeena4308]

Dialogue mere ko Bluetooth Elektra 2005 model ke clutch cover chahiye inside and outside car Mujhe mil nahi raha hai kripya Mujhe Bataye Woh kahan mil sakta hai

[@markschattefor6997]

It would be a big improvement , if all the horns would be removed from all the vehikels. And get somekind of traffic rules.

[@chairrider2462]

Love the color for the repaint! I have a 2003 500 Bullet myself.

[@oldkaptain]

Interesting..But Why the total strip down What went wrong? And I hope he wipes all the Grit off before assembly... Nice though thanks.!

[@Kumarbvn]

this fellow is good in dealing with the scraps ,he doesn't even have the tool to remove piston pin, get a good mec

[@notwocdivad]

Please go to lunmad Triumph T120 bottom end rebuild, and see how engines should be stripped and re-built. This may help this garage improve it's work practices and it;s profits. Either that or hit the mechanics with their favourite tool- the lump hammer!!! Dave

[@markosgil3905]

el salvajismo mas puro de tratar a una motocicleta sin herramientas y sin etica profesional.

[@SefraCorrea]

the cost of servicing a crank bearing/bush is 2000 inr , beat that .. and the owners tours the entire lower half of the indian subcontinent ... the enfield motorcycle is designed for ww2 battle conditions , its is not a honda with high rpm multicylinder requiring those standards ......

[@thesignatur8264]

Brother ! Crank ka side mem kitna spacer aathahe ? Pls

[@AzimNaqvi]

Hi! I want to if there is a difference between old standard Bullet chassis and old thunderbird chassis? Kindly help. Thanks!

[@alangilbert1299]

Doing great to work amidst so much street noise.

[@stekourou]

this is very important video for royal enfield lovers. many thanks my friend

[@kpstalin8405]

Will this engine weigh more than new engine(UCE)

[@SefraCorrea]

upload ur work on any engine !

[@404pride]

He is a typical sadakchaap northindia jallad (mechanic) if he does same in mumbai he will get a nice GPL.

[@sujaykudpane7037]

thts y all u north indians came in our land to eat our shit.

[@samirthakur6398]

nice vid. What was the reason for the disassembly? Also is it normal to get all that oil after opening up the alternator side cover???

[@ringofthebrave]

The best an most careful mecanic ever. ;)

[@SefraCorrea]

1973 standard 350 :)

[@sunnychandrajput9457]

Mere pass bullet 350 standard h .m Usme disc brake lagana chahata hu kya Usme purane soccer m classic k soccer ki legi lagane se disc lag Sakta h . Or usse koi nuksaan to nhi hoga

[@twostroke350]

The main problem here was deformed washers under the cylinder head nuts binding against the studs. That's why he was putting the head nuts back on loosely and tapping them from side to side to try to free them off. It can make the head nearly impossible to remove. You can fit hardened washers to prevent this happening. One useful tip that can help is the "Indian rope trick" where you put a long piece of nylon rope down the sparkplug hole then turn the engine over. I have fitted studs with square ends that can be removed with the head in-situ to my bullet to get around this problem.

[@r.tillery575]

I'd have liked to see the failed components a bit more closely, rod, main bearings etc.

[@keepitrunning]

Boy those Enfields are tough, you'd not get away with it on a Honda I'm sure.

[@SefraCorrea]

yes ur right this was farhan saits machine .. mine is a 1973 one

[@SefraCorrea]

he works on 4-5 engines a day ... he wont work that cheap if i ask him to take special care of my bike ... for custom work he takes a month ... i will upload those wen i get my gh3

[@Dreamnecronevermore]

@ 17:10 he is using it against the bearing beneath. WTF? These jugaads will destroy the engines. This is the reason Enfields starts leaking oil once overhauled. Main case surface gets so many scratches and dents due to this.

[@tictoc5103]

Thats y ther wer called royal oilfeild

[@stoneweapon]

Did it ever run again after that?

[@dongodsmanna]

Which year model is this? 2000 and later?

[@vick111nesh]

1. That ain't the right way to dismantle an engine. Use pullers or spray loosener. 2. Do Not assemble/disassemble engine in an open environment. Lots of dust and sand particles. 3. Always pressure wash the bike before disassembling!

[@Darklordkime]

While i deffinitly agree with you , if you dont have the tools you gotta figure out a way to fix the bike , because the other option is walking.

[@shohussaini]

What was the reason for the disassembly

[@sameershah26]

Bhai maine 350 classic jst liya hai aur jab mai long drive krta hu to kuch der bad slow krne par engine off ho jata hai and fir mai petrol tank open krta hu kuch time k liye to start ho jati hai ,,kya problem hai please help!!!!

[@Raghu432]

Hi can we put Thunderbird 500cc head to Thunderbird 350cc ?? I need more power in RE

[@juliannevillecorrea]

the crank bearing got dislodged and got torn and smeared all over the crank case ... see it here 21:01

[@crazynmad89]

this man dosent have modified tools ,otherwise he is good mechanic just go and chek it out he can tune your enfield ...

[@ChackraTantra]

he had forgotten to remove one of the head bolts. too much harassment for the poor bike.

[@SefraCorrea]

its my mechanic who is working on that bike...

[@SefraCorrea]

farhan had a bust crank bush/bearing and he commuted for a while .. so i dunno

[@jaydeeppatel9253]

Superb mind bloing

[@MrDat280zx]

1973? electra style primary cover,electronic ignition (no contact breaker set up) iron barrel ,kick start only,4speed box and right side shift. this bike is a real mixed bag. still nothing beats a bullet..............to the mechanics .

[@steveyard43]

Might have been easier if they loosened and removed that head steady bracket before they tried levering the head off.

[@Tajsingh0007]

my eyes got kensurrrr watchin him pulling the head with still one bolt on lol both of them were lookin complete idiots 😂😂😂

[@SefraCorrea]

its not a constraint on the side of the mechanic its a constaint from my end .. i cannot afford it ..

[@TheSonyjoseph]

I even see a small boy is working on hyabusa and bmw 1200 on street. When I asked him he knows everything about the engine. Except when it comes to ECU he leaves the job to his boss.

[@7Neanderthal7]

what bench?

[@ebonitepens]

This video shows an Electra with TCI ignition. Such engines were made between 2003 and 2009. HTH.

[@SefraCorrea]

he can do all most anything to an enfield i cannot afford his time hence the hurry ..

[@SefraCorrea]

all thanks to julian correa :)

[@OliverWrist]

Many thanks for sharing, this is interesting to watch...

[@TheAnkani]

very bad experience for dismantling the engine head , it decrees the life of the engine

[@ibrahimbawi]

I'm building my 1971 triumph in my garage and i'm using half the tools that he used on your motorcycle, and let me inform you that a rubber hammer is cheap. Instead of trying to remove the head off by force, you can use some brain and save the muscle.. it's not about the tool is how he was using them.

[@bharat3526]

very nice vedeo

[@mahi98goodguy]

thanks a lot for this video bro

[@thoufeeqts6]

Can I get royal enfield mechanic for my shop.. ? If know someone ready to work in kerala.. Reply me

[@iphone202020220]

Never let them fix your bike. Or car for that matter.

[@BadKittenOnline]

At least they drained the oil into a bucket - probably for the refill.

[@404pride]

Not refill but use that dirty oil to be filled in oil can to lubricate the chain,and other moving parts which need lubrication.

[@jonathanrochasilveira9309]

cade a bancada do mecanico

[@juliannevillecorrea]

come to belgaum to ride it ... 12 b picket road :)

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Don't let this guy anywhere near a bike or car of mine.

[@jonqdoe2352]

They were just suppose to change the oil !

[@josepelotudogomezcredulo6993]

Disassembly? or killing !!!

[@mario297930]

good bike and is baetifull machine!!!

[@rajaawais8848]

wtf when you have to replace the front sprocket, you have to disassemble the the clutch box and plates

[@betoromeo6302]

No se debe atorar la biela por dentro de donde va el buje del piston :S para mecanicos que hay bueno ......

[@edwardgriffin8092]

I have watched this up to 4:19 and i can not take any more of it. He is not an Indian, he is a fucking COWBOY.

[@rameshemv]

RIP . Cruelty at its best. The bullet's ghost would come back to haunt them.

[@amazingmusti]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Talscar1]

U Know in India they don't have much to work with. AKA, They cant afford tools and don't have many useful tools to work with. Also when heads are glued down it turns out people think of it like Butchery... Technically it is kinda like that. I would have used Door stop's to take the head of in their Position if it was stuck. Only thing i would agree about is the fact they go to far when they do what they do. for 1: What is the problem with the engine? By looking at what their doing, their isn't much wrong with it. At first i when i looked, i thought the head was fine, till you watched them taking off the piston. When i looked at the piston first thing i saw was a crack through it. I thought they were replacing the piston head because of that... If they were then it would not be butchering. But their seems nothing wrong with it. It looked good. That part i see now is that the oil is white. That means water has gotten in the engine and mixed with the oil. Its not good, unless your using it for coolant when doing Machining on a lath or milling machine or something. Anyway, just don't pick. Your not in India and you don't know what they got and what they need. All you need to know is they can fix stuff their own way. Even if its just a Disassembly. I will admit. I am worst then these guys. First engine i even took appart was a 98cc Villiers MK10... I used a screwdriver and snapped the head. I did not notice the head bolts which blended so well in my eyes i didnt notice. Also i smashed 2 rings putting in the piston... I was ready to reassemble and i put the piston in... I could not push it down. I got a hammer and next thing i knew the rings where smashed. I was around 13 years old... Dumb if you ask me now. I feel i could do WAY BETTER then that. Currently i am 17 and restoring my dream car. I have not made mistakes yet and hope to keep it that way!

[@staninjapan07]

That is of course based on the (fairly) reasonable assumption that there is a bench just off camera. Perhaps not though eh.

[@omsai9940]

1. No. Good
