Splitting Cases, Replacing Crank | Raptor 700 Motor P5

[@williame2315]

It’s cool to be able to sit down and watch these long videos like a tv show

[@syzygy3239]

A quick tip for press bearings. Take a can of computer dust spray and turn the can upside down and spray the bearings. Don't spray it onto your hands. Its very cold and will frost burn you. But for a quick freeze it works great.

[@IIKINGLIAM]

It’s so cool how it looks when you take that stuff apart

[@Dubsspeed]

It was a good example only thing I'd recommend differently is how u installed the main bearing. You should never hit a bearing on the inner race, due to the fact that you can actually create alottt of play and worst case just completely blow the center section or off the outer race! That center section is essentially free floating so by pressing on the outer you are pushing on the main body of the bearing and the center of it will be stress free and will follow the outer wherever it goes. If at all possible I try to use something that will lay perfectly over not only the main bearing but also the inner completely evenly. The old race for instance works great! Good job!

[@kj_frenchies7915]

Just bought a raptor 700 that needs a rebuilt so your videos are going to help a lot thanks.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for watching; I'm glad I can help

[@upshiftclutchups665]

ooo a long one, time to get some popcorn

[@MrToddles12]

Excellent work. Have used that permatex product before on rebuilding a supercharger and it is great stuff!

[@OGKILLa9365]

You should clean the engine cases with a scotch brite wheel on the buffer that you have.

[@jasonbrody9851]

I was actually thinking about buying a caltric brand battery and since you bought one now I will know if it's a good battery.

[@MichaelSabo]

They make good batteries and they're inexpensive. The other one I bought for this raptor went through some torture and it's now in my bike and working great still.

[@qc_cod2030]

I was waiting this video so much i checked everyday to see if there was a new raptor video !!!

[@supertedogpriken]

U know that gasket sealer you cleaned of the outside of the engine. the same amount will also get on the inside of the engine and clog the oil screan and get in the bearings. hopefully it does not starv the engine/bearings of oil.

[@redman8745]

Keep up the Boss ass work and watching this video will help me out with one of motors

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks for the love Red Man!

[@johnb3231]

Nice work. I bought both of the same tools tu did for 1 motor haven't used them since haha! But they are nice to have.

[@Flwandered]

Great video man. Keep up the great work!

[@mcarbajal5628]

Trail Raptor I have that same raptor in your profile picture

[@Flwandered]

M Games I love mine. They are great bikes

[@DirtbikeNb]

When you install bearings you're supposed to hit the outside of it not the inside

[@RCMAN23]

Getting the bottom end rebuild kit for my dirtbike next week. And i just finished dont a full motor rebuild on my friends banshee

[@MichaelSabo]

That's what's up man!

[@MK-qv7bq]

Hey man for future reference you may want to try putting your cases in the oven for about 30 minutes at 400* farenheit that will allow them to expand quite a bit. Couple that method with bearings and your crank in the freezer and youll sail smooth. Just be careful to not burn yourself!!!

[@MK-qv7bq]

I wrote this up about half way through the video and then saw everything slid into place like communism in Europe. Glad it all went together easy 👌

[@MichaelSabo]

Sketchy Industries "like communism in europe" 😂😂😂 I'm dying man hahaha thank you

[@MK-qv7bq]

Michael Sabo much abliged to make a fellow backyard engine builder laugh. Cant wait for the next vid.

[@Rscmgw23]

X2 on the oven method.... I do 30mins at 225F and freeze the bearings over night.....They will drop right in. Same thing for the crank.

[@angelobarrett8086]

Did you use the HotRods 4078 crank? I bought my crank brand new and has a small amount of play side to side within the rod. Normal ?

[@LB-qp3rf]

Banger like always👌🤘

[@kylesmith2071]

I know you have been over the bearing you tapped in. I see that you also know that Hot Rod Cranks have a high failure rate. When this engine explodes you will not know which failure to blame. For everyone, please replace that bearing. That will leave no doubt if the crank fails. Love the videos. Just want to see it done correctly.

[@MichaelSabo]

Chris Smith I already ordered another bearing; I am putting it in correctly. Thank you for the feedback.

[@mikelwmc]

Shouldn't have hit that iner race installing that new bearing. Eek

[@MichaelSabo]

Rookie mistake on my part; I usually use the old bearing to tap in the new one.

[@quadbikesr314]

Great vid. Once you get done clean the raptor up and get it all nice and get ss rim center caps. Make the next project a 450r or 400ex?

[@julianojanuario6383]

Always use grill or oven to remove and install bearings. They drop right out & in at 220 degrees. Torch can warp the case.

[@julianojanuario6383]

Also never torch a bearing. Find a socket that fits snug inside the inner race of the bearing, torch the socket for a while then hold it inside the inner race of the bearing for a couple minutes. The crank will slip right in the bearing, won’t have to pull the cases together.

[@juicer911]

Could you freeze the whole crank and bearing assembly and drop it onto the other side as well. Similar to how you did the bearing only.

[@miguelrivero9244]

What crankshaft did you use and is it more reliable than the stock one same with the piston?

[@Idh8too7122]

Love these videos!!!

[@ethantreadaway7169]

I'm gonna be doing this soon I'm nervous about the crank shaft balancers 👀

[@chrisaskme811]

Just don’t reinstall them

[@Zoomb1kes]

Great work

[@brandonquenneville7330]

Cool video. I think his only method on hand was to pound the inner race on the Case bearing.

[@MichaelSabo]

After watching my own video I feel like an idiot; I usually use the old bearing to tap in the new one. I think this one was still okay though.

[@Rscmgw23]

The craptor is going to become the exploder haha. Hopefully it doesn't take out the engine cases when it goes. I just did a trx450r, left and right center cases were over $250each bare cases.

[@brandonquenneville7330]

I agree*

[@salinasracing8314]

Banger...,,, do a 4 mil on your banshee please i want to do a 4 mil pump gas drag bike

[@MichaelSabo]

That's what's coming man!

[@salinasracing8314]

Thanks man !!

[@John-kp1ql]

I have to split the cases on my raptor. I only need to replace the left side case, so can I leave the right side case intact and leave the transmission in? Or are there bolts inside the right side case?

[@jeremyperez8753]

Your the man

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome Mike 《☆》kudos for filming this task Bro. I see peeps are already roasting Your nads about bearing installation. Good rule of thumb is never transmit the load thru the bearing so You will be putting pressure on whichever race is contacting the mating part. If You don't have the right size socket then a hammer & brass drift punch is acceptable with light taps around the circumference. Sometimes a brass punch is too wide so switch to a steel one that is small enough. For heating I use an electric heat gun & monitor the temp with a laser targeting thermometer that You can get for $20 at Harbor freight. Good luck with it Man. Always good content on Your channel & that one song will be in My head for a while. Daahh Daaahh Dattt thuukka thukkaa dahh dajjj ☻

[@yansheeold_b9147]

Nice job from paris

[@gabyg00gletv18]

You going to run more compression? Planning on dropping a bigger cam?

[@johndoe-ly8jt]

You put the case in the freezer and the bearings fall out pretty easy.

[@DyllanBass-g3i]

Where can I buy the tool used at 23minutes and make sure I get the right size almost 100% it’s same size as one in video

[@eduardocervantes3746]

Donde compraste tu estractor para los baleros ..

[@johnbowen2963]

ALL WAYS DRIVE A BEARING IN ON THE OUTER RACE, NEVERRRRRRRRRRRR HIT INNER RACE.

[@MichaelSabo]

Little late bro 😂😂😂

[@MichaelSabo]

I MAKE A ROOKIE MISTAKE IN THIS VIDEO! DO NOT TAP YOUR NEW MAIN BEARING IN FROM THE INNER RACE LIKE I DO IN THIS VIDEO AT 17:40! USE SOMETHING THAT HAS THE SAME CIRCUMFERENCE AS THE OUTER RACE OF THE BEARING! USING YOUR OLD BEARING TO TAP IN THE NEW ONE IS A BETTER OPTION THAN THE SOCKET I USE IN THIS VIDEO. ***You can all rest easy, I am replacing the bearing and tapping it in from the outer race.***

[@gersonromero4967]

Fire

[@facundobaso194]

Where did you buy your crankshaft from ?

[@tntactics]

What happened that caused the rebuild?

[@MichaelSabo]

Bought the quad with a bad crank

[@tntactics]

Michael Sabo so how can i tell if the bike have a bad crank??

[@darrylmc9944]

Hi mike, I’m in Nova Scotia Canada, and me and my buddies watched most of your videos as we are a distance from a decent repair shop, and we’re broke ass running on a serious budget. I’m in middle of installing a new cylinder and piston kit , it’s a cylinder works jug with a matching vertex piston set, while doing installation I noticed my timing chain was kinked and the auto tensioner was maxed, I guess that explains the racquet I was hearing, so I’m putting in a new timing chain, I’m noticing my piston rod can move ever so slightly side to side , bout a half mill each direction, is this normal, it’s not sloppy just side to side ...any advice is appreciated

[@lmbb20]

A little side to side is ok, up and down is not ok

[@raphaelsantiago5612]

Hey I was wondering if u could Point me in the right direction. I have a raptor 700. 2017 I’m hearing a small ticking noise ever so often. What’s could that be ??

[@darrylmc9944]

Raphael Santiago if it’s like mine it’s the timing chain slapping around, do a check on your auto tensioner , see if it’s maxed out, I hear a lot of bad news about raptor timing chains when they hit higher mileage

[@lmbb20]

Anyone know the bolt size/thread to push the crankshaft out?

[@Stoshua.81]

Guarantee that crank bearing will have play never hit the inner race or use a hammer on bearings they won't last

[@MichaelSabo]

Stoshua already been covered and replaced. Read the pinned comment.

[@Stoshua.81]

Michael Sabo Nice

[@motorcyclejamannow1091]

awesome

[@jenniferclark1323]

How much u paid for the new crank

[@davinlyda1461]

You should have cleaned up all the aluminum while you had it apart.

[@jstephens1193]

Is she still running?

[@MichaelSabo]

Yea man, I pulled her out of the shed last week and she fired right up 🤘

[@beerbellyracing133]

@MichaelSabo still running?

[@johnnickle4843]

24.36 crack in case on crank surface??

[@brandonquenneville7330]

noo

[@johng1061]

omg the cringe no matter how light you hit the inner race of the bearing its junk now i guarantee it will go bad again in no time

[@MichaelSabo]

I know, that's why I recommend against it; I should have used the old bearing to tap it in. But in reality, I don't think the bearing is bad from light taps. It will be a test; if it blows, you'll know about it and I'll re-do it.

[@MichaelSabo]

I made a comment and pinned it at the top of the list because this is bothering me so much.

[@Rscmgw23]

Hopefully you plan on replacing that bearing haha. The worst possible thing you can do to a bearing is hammer on the inner race. As soon as I seen this I paused and hit the comment section. I wouldn't run that engine after hammering on an inner race let alone a main crank bearing. I know you wanna do it right brotha, right thing to do would be replace that bearing. Either way, still enjoying the projects bud

[@MichaelSabo]

This is my busting face I know man; I'm pretty pissed at myself right now especially because I know better. I'm not sure if I'm going to try running it or not.

[@Rscmgw23]

Michael Sabo... if something goes out at a high rpm and you put your rod through the cases your going to be real pissed haha

[@zestifyy1053]

Why don’t you chill the bearings when you try to remove them they just slide out .

[@onewheelwayliam7544]

bfh? big fuking hammer?

[@MichaelSabo]

Yea haha

[@connormc302]

Ok

[@jaimecastro1932]

I need you to rebuild my engine

[@nicholasfinamore8916]

Hello

[@kaderockett3190]

Can I pay you to replace my crankcase? 😭

[@littleman6969]

First

[@chrisaskme811]

Your fingers are chubby

[@johnbowen2963]

you fucked that bearings, NEVER HIT IT IN THE INNER RCE, NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

[@boostedraptor]

Waaaaayyy to long of a video
