The water in the cylinder must have been rather fresh. Those cast iron cylinder sleeves get flash rust rather quicky. You are lucky.

[@smashyrashy]

"Great video" is nicer

[@LouisGiliberto]

Agree! Rain water can be pretty pure (i.e., non-acidic) and the sleeves are somewhat air-tight. That's probably what saved them.

[@skieast3631]

I wonder if there was water in the muffler the leaked in when he turned the engine upright because it was on its side

[@aik88]

Oil is another possibility

[@QkiJr]

Way too red and smooth rust for only being exposed weather, clean not tarnish sparkplug wire, clean airfilter, clean oil, no sludge in carb, Shiny zinc bolt. More like decent motor removed from paint and sprayed with vinegar and get rusted fast.

[@jdretiree2433]

Never a doubt it would start and run. Those engines, like the Briggs, are pretty much bullet proof. Very nice restoration. Looks like it came directly off the Honda assembly line.

[@henrycole6399]

Agree, this is beautiful work as usual. Honda is IMO the best small engine manufacturer in the world.

[@reigninoel]

It's also kind of refreshing to see him restore or repair something that isn't a B&S.

[@reigninoel]

@@henrycole6399 also excellent parts availability/support, with some small engines their catalogue of replacement parts has basically one item: "engine"

[@jesterr7133]

The sandblasting and painting are my favorite parts of the restoration videos. I love seeing the entire process. I have seen tons of engine assemblies. The restoration part is what makes them interesting.

[@DoctorFish10]

Meanwhile in Dagwin's kitchen there are shouts of "who's taken the kitchen roll"

[@American_Jeeper]

Spectacular job and smashing results! Honda engines really are bulletproof, to a degree. The fact that, even with water in the cylinder, it wasn't rusted is mind boggling but definitely a blessing.

[@philathomas]

Always interesting, especially when it comes from your own personal scrap yard.

[@fredrickvoncold]

everything inside was mint cond . I was surprised .That primer coat looks really nice.

[@robertmailhos8159]

Love the sound of it when it kicked over for a few seconds when you sprayed the carb cleaner in the carb💪👍👌

[@dond9633]

I like your videos, I think you are the only one who tears apart a machine. Then restores it back. Best of luck. I really enjoy what you do. Thank you

[@user-jw3ui1hg8n]

восстановить такой ржавый корпус и снова покрасить, самый правильный подход к реставрации. лайк.

[@ksaab3946]

That was an excellent restoration on a classic Honda engine, love the sound of those, they always are so reliable. Keep up the great work😃👍

[@Farm_fab]

That's a nice looking pump engine, and it turned out like a treat.

[@johanstahl5555]

Realy enjoying to see you repairing and restoring again! I love your videos and its so good to hear you speak

[@johnbradford9235]

It's not just the petrol tank that really does 'look like new' dude. The whole thing looks like it's out of a box. Top job 👏👏👏, again 👉👉👉. And thanks for a great Friday night's viewing before I hit my Night shift. I've said it before, so have others, and we'll all say it again - YOU are the key ingredient in this channel. Your voice, manner and approach are super-calming. Probably wouldn't matter if you were talking about slicing a melon. It's still be fab to see and hear. Thanks man 🙏. 😎

[@warrenvalentino5763]

Great video! Awesome job on restoring the Honda motor. i Love watching your videos! :)

[@nickthekidfarmall1622]

Hey Daggerwin, great video. Very informative. Thank for these videos!

[@stevefromlondon9175]

Great restore the Honda engine is bulletproof it looks brand new Regards Steve UK London

[@dposer10]

Good hone job! You're one of the few to get that right I've seen on youtube.

[@MaximusGaming]

Excellent work as always

[@peterhollander6392]

Excellent restoration job, the Honda engine is like new!

[@jimclements3190]

Absolutely brilliant job, well done 👍

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

What a excellent video, watching a professional at work 👏 👌 👍

[@NinjaNeglector]

Wow man you are awesome the amount of work that goes into your vid’s is incredible and does not go unnoticed! Great job man seriously you’re a beast!

[@sgtJOOSEcapeS]

Good morning 🌞 from Petersburg Virginia.... Great 💯 content Sir..veen following you for years now and never fails that u honor the viewers requests 😊...

[@petevick123]

What a fantastic job !!

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

Always enjoy your videos, lovely job on this engine, you and KZbinr Mustie1 are my favorite mechanics for engine repairs and the like (give his channel a try if you've not heard of it, he really knows his engines - he doesn't restore them like you do but he gets even the most rusty engine working reliably). Out of interest, was that engine just as rusty when you first stored it outside or has the bulk of the rust occurred since it was put outside? It's of course tough to keep things dry if you don't have a suitable storage shed and covering them with a tarp of similar when outside just means that damp still accumulates (but it at least stops rain entering via the air filter, etc)..

[@AJRestoration]

Mustie1 is awesome, he was my inspiration for working on smaller engines.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

@@AJRestoration Great to hear. I discovered Mustie1 a few years ago - not only is he first class at repairing engines (and other things) but he's such a nice and often funny guy who also makes his audience feel included due to the way he talks to the camera as he is working. I sometimes wish he would restore engines (as beautifully seen in this video for example) but he seems to mainly prefer the actual diagnostic and repair process, and that's fine.

[@LouisGiliberto]

Same, I watch Mustie1 all the time.

[@Spudchucker92]

Meh. I watched Mustie up until I discovered he’s a far-right Trump supporter. Not watched him ever since.

[@LouisGiliberto]

@@Spudchucker92 That's a fair approach - one of not wanting to somehow support someone that holds an opinion offensive to us. Personally if I stopped watching every YTer or Hollywood star I disagreed with, at least half my playlist will be gone. So as long as they don't bring politics, religion, ideology forcibly into their art / videos, it doesn't bother me. Just my take.

[@jameslamb4573]

Nice job, from a boat anchor to something useful. Looking forward to another B&S restoration.

[@ManMountainMetals]

BS Restoration is a good term for it.

[@tonyc.4528]

Very nicely done, sir!!!

[@jeffdowns2146]

Awesome job, looks and sounds like a new engine.

[@michaelcard1973]

Very very nice! Another excellent restoration and video.

[@Liambailey1]

Stainless steel bolts are a good sign. Shows pride and effort into something. Always find it more appealing

[@haichyou2930]

I was hoping for another quad video, but any video you upload is good 👍🏻

[@DanKoning777]

Me too. I save the videos if there in a series, then I watch them all at the same time. This one I'm about to delete since it's been well over a month since pt. 1.

[@vinceianni4026]

Beautiful restoration mister well done

[@MikeNHOC]

Well done! Looks new!

[@deancoley7987]

Brilliant work

[@dbeckley43]

Nice restoration and appreciate your addition of using the torque wrench. It's never a waste of time to rehone the hatch marks in the cylinder wall even if you're piston end gaps are perfect.

[@het_gele_teken]

What a cracking job! 👏

[@garyclifton2180]

Looks brand new lovely job

[@larrykelly2838]

Great restoration on a great motor.

[@LS-uv9gg]

Thank you for: Awesome ASMR tool and mechanical work with no hideous music soundtrack blaring. Minimal but concise narration. Actually saying things like- "needs to be cleaned" instead of the simply horrendous- "needs cleaned" kind of thing that is sadly becoming a mainstay of modern day illiteracy...

[@christopherhennessey9766]

I love watching these videos, find them so interesting. Is there any other videos where I can learn more the basics as half of this goes over my head?

[@ceejay6882]

Home Garage is good for the basics. Learn to fix carburetors on Briggs flathead engine mowers (they have the air filter box shaped like an arrow pointing backwards). These are common now in kerbside cleanups and are a good starting point.

[@off.grider]

Your channel shouldn't be named machinery restorer it should be MASTER MACHINERY RESTORER.

[@Jameson4327]

Well done! One pull!

[@unkjason]

I like it when you finish a mower. And take it to what I call, the proving grounds

[@trevorpearson1832]

Really nice job. 👍

[@jimclements3190]

Very nice resurrection there mate, well done 👍

[@iansvecs]

I have the same engine on my digger, it works all day on very little fuel. Good engines!

[@thomasburras]

Very therapeutic!

[@graemeparrott5691]

Would love to see the powder coat set up you have, tidy job 👌🏻

[@evilferret1453]

it would be nice to see the young bucks getting into projects like these , you can find engines like this at your local scrap yard and they will usually sell them to you for about $10 or in the case of my local yard they just give them away to restorers . you dont need fancy tools a cheap socket set, sand paper. a $20 gasket kit, some spray paint. a few days cleaning and just like that you can sell the engine for around $100. i did this when i was too young to work a job and i made loads of money. it paid for my bike when i was 13 and later my 1st car. you learn a lot of great skills along the way as well. you young fellas have no excuse you have the internet these days to hold your hand. i had to read scraps of paper covered in oil to learn lol.

[@evilferret1453]

if you want to know how to sell the engines after you fixed them here is what i did. here in the USA during the summer people have yard sales i would go to the person having the yard sale and ask them if they could sell my engines as well . and i would offer them $5 per sale. i dont think i was ever turned down. that was me 13 years old hauling a bunch of engines around in a wagon. everyone in my neighborhood eventually had a rebuilt engine on their mowers and i had a hot rod 77 cutlass when i was 16 that my dad was jealous of lol

[@johnhicks735]

We'll done Man. That runs awesome by the way to.

[@mechz83]

Nice job👍🏻

[@ianrandell9763]

It's been a long time coming, but welcome back, so I can see your next restoration..

[@isaacseay5444]

Honing the bore is also satisfying to watch 10:17

[@keithprescott3728]

Didn’t know you had this channel. Love it!

[@nitro74cs]

Great video, nicely restored. May I ask what is that blue cleaning agent used to clean the piston and crankcase?

[@gregb76]

nice job keep up the great work.

[@eddiepatterson5025]

Job well done 👍 runs great 👍

[@nineteenandfortyone]

Well done!

[@mikeembrey9176]

Great job

[@rudgerhotsma]

You make it look like you do all of this in one day!

[@ManMountainMetals]

No, it takes several days to 'age' an engine like that.

[@Alec9821]

These little agri Honda engines are great. Incredibly easily to rebuild and repair parts readily available Simple but efficient design Durable Cheap It’s no wonder they get 1:1 cloned so much

[@charitybrown4274]

Great Video 👍

[@Rubbernecker]

Beautiful!!!

[@keithmiller3120]

Nice job 👍🏻 on that rebuild… Honda is a very good engine have a pressure washer and a few lawnmowers as well… still briggs and Stratton are my very best…

[@harrisoncook530]

Is it possible we are going to see more classic westwood restorations and just fixing them up , ive started my atempt to buy a couple and restoee them bc of ur old videos on them I love them now

[@Herbybandit]

Nice job. It makes a change to see a torque wrench used correctly, instead of click, click, click just to make sure one click is correct! Any more is over torque.

[@BrianMcNeese]

Looks like a brand new engine!

[@Theepicfarmer_2347]

Love theses videos will this be returning for the Christmas special?

[@MrShayna14]

Nice job

[@barthanes1]

Mmmmmmm, forbidden raspberry jam. I bet it would have run just fine as long as you got the water out of the bore.

[@dlaws99]

Nice beautiful job, but, I thought you powder coated those bolts on the recoil cover...

[@terryl7874]

Wow you could make a great deal of money rescuing used Honda engines. Amazingly that looks right off the assembly line. 😊

[@HolosunGodOfOdin]

I like the way you say carburetor. Great video!

[@mousse6528]

Excellent 👌💎🌟

[@matthewbrodison-eh1zh]

I am just curious on the powder coating Is there any special paint required and how to electrify the pieces.

[@bidders77]

Honda's are brilliant, they just want to keep going

[@markellii3093]

I get severe dissociation from seeing actual real life footage and hearing your voice.

[@khalilrabah2237]

Jolie travail

[@tcar]

Great video and microphone quality. What are you using for recording?

[@khalidhussein8545]

Good job i like it❤

[@jwrappuhn71]

Excellent.

[@timberich1647]

This man is over here using an AMAZONBASICS torque wrench! I don't have much room to talk tho. Most of our tools are Harbor Freight specials😅😅

[@mathiaswerner9282]

Litle question where do you even keep your restored lawnmowers and do you stil have your old allen champion mower?

[@nemanja2338]

You sund like Daggerwin!

[@ridhobaihaqi144]

Good afternoon from southeast asia!

[@ratlerman7318]

Always love your videos and really lookforward to new ones , however something seems a bit fishy here never in all my years seen rust so even almost like a sorayed rusting agent ?i do hope im wrong

[@jamesfield5346]

With Hondas does the crankshaft and camshaft have timing marks to line up?

[@kingsfarm1074]

Hey when you make the engine decals how do you do it can you make an video on how to make engine decal ❓

[@ribbo1]

omg i've just worked out you're daggerwin!

[@tonyg258]

As always great video. This might be an obvious answer question but i will ask it anyways. What it the media you use in the soda blaster ? TIA

[@mickboakes7023]

Brilliant

[@geremipineault308]

Is powder coating better than primer and paint?

[@contraband1543]

Yes. Spray paint will never be as durable or shiny as powder coating.

[@sonnyjimm23]

Assembly Jam is a missed opportunity in marketing.

[@alpharaptor7510]

What happens to all your projects after you finish them. Do you keep them or sell them?

[@billbeyer657]

Never used assembly lube on cylinders. Always went with straight 30W.

[@yorkshiremad]

Sandblasting 😅 I love it, don't leave it out 🤦‍♂️

[@ashleyrichards4241]

Smooth move.coz 1; the honda deserves it. And 2; the Briggs can take the wait

[@milandesmet5490]

do you know on what type of machine that engine stood before it came to you?

[@jamesmetzger7320]

I have been wondering what you do with the stuff you restore?
