Tearing Down My Cr500 Engine and Starting the New build?!

[@VasilyBuilds]

I love how simple this motor is. I hope y'all enjoyed :) Vapor blasting results and a few important updates at the end.

[@kratoseus309]

I did in fact, enjoy this pretty short and simple video!

[@ifithaswheels4289]

Nice to see you , thankyou so much for your support. I’m recovering from a car crash also , that’s why a approximate 6 months before I start. Hope you are healing and healthy young fellow, keep up your good work and videos. God Bless you and yours 🇨🇦👍

[@HondaCivic1999]

Aye

[@richardgreen7811]

I cannot tell You how refreshing it is to witness a normal young man using his skills. No stupid music ... No stupid hand signals ... No stupid hat on backwards. Please keep up your great work and DON'T CHANGE

[@250rtrxjunkie]

Lol, so true👍🏻

[@williammickelson403]

man do i despise people who wear their hat backwards

[@delosallen]

Agreed

[@jacebigelow]

Well said Richard !!

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

I couldn't agree more.

[@BillBogan]

Nice, I had a 96 cr500 loved it. It can be a beast to start. Trick is turn it over a couple times to prime the cylinder and a full length kick with everything you got. Run a hand clutch, you will need to slip the clutch a lot with Precision. They are made for it. I started races from the gate in third gear and never had to shift. A ton of throttle and mostly clutch work. Can't wait to see what you build. Nice work!

[@brandon2076]

You should really heat up the aluminum engine cases before knocking bearings out. Helps them come out way easier, and literally fall out if heated just right. Without heating, you're transferring a lot more force into the aluminum and could possibly damage something, or gall up/waller out the bearing seats.

[@ChristopherHayniedd980]

Your knowledge is unbelievable for someone so young.

[@rockyrivermushrooms529]

6:40 u blastin that hello kitty radio while wrenchin on some engines?

[@kartnerds]

Looks like a solid motor. The cases turned out amazing. Dude im totally jealous.

[@gokartbob6478]

I love the simplicity of 2 stroke engine's, and all the power you get from them. 👍😎🏁

[@elilachappa3330]

Whatever this engine goes into is going to be wicked!

[@honda8192]

I don’t know too much about 500’s but I see everyone in the Facebook groups talking about how the billet exhaust manifold is the best thing you can buy, you should look into that.

[@VasilyBuilds]

yes thats already on the list :)

[@250rtrxjunkie]

Can't wait to see this finished 🤤🤤🌪💨

[@jonnyretro2235]

Great video young man! Nice to see you are using some proper tools and taking care not to butcher components up on that ageing motor. Can’t wait to see where this motor finds it home. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

[@joekizonu9503]

You are doing good, just keep plugging away at what you want and you will get it. Just know what you want, and don't give up on anything to get it.

[@CainSample]

That motor looks awesome they did a great job👍

[@ebib5014]

I remember watching your channel back when you had about 3,000 subscribers. Im so happy you've gotten this far, you definitely deserve it for the work you've done.

[@VasilyBuilds]

Thats awesome :)

cute cat, i love the different eyes

[@joshuarogers5233]

Always Great videos 👍👍

[@TNTMOTO]

When i do my next CR500, I am going to get it vapor blasted. Looks great. Probably get the YZ490 project for next year vapor blasted as well. You are going to have fun with a CR500 motor. So much fun.

[@dirtbadger]

I had a 1986 CR500 years ago, the Lectron sounds like a good upgrade. 1986 was at the peak of power development , after that Honda detuned it every year. You shouldn’t need more power. Make sure to wear good boots to kick the beast, it will break your foot!

[@vhjvbhjb5280]

Great video, check out some parts diagrams to make sure you have everything. And just a disclaimer: dont port if you dont know what your doing. I am not in any way asuming you would, but its quite common that people assume that big ports are always better. The ”dirt” in the crankcase looks like it came from wear on the bearings or its probably from sitting. Dirt from running the engine without an air filter doesnt really stick, it does the damage and goes out the exhaust port. Fuel and oil are good at cleaning.

[@motovid3865]

This is awesome but I recommend a new piston for sure just cuz the cheep and they will prolong the motor life

[@johnsmith-oh2xo]

If you seen the video it has a new wiesco piston in it if it ain't new it has not been ran more than a few times but i think it is new rip it.....

[@imstu2]

Some guys X-ray or magnaflux their parts. I see you gave yours a "Cat Scan"! Glad it passed. I can't wait to see what you do with that motor. It's a monster! I want to buy a CR500 to ride. I'll find a good one eventually. Good luck!

[@VasilyBuilds]

Great. Straight to it. Good job 2 stroke dirt foreverrrrr

How about changing things up and go aquatic? Inboard motor for small(12-14ft) tunnel hull jon boat? Use drive parts from an old junk PWC. The smaller/lighter/more unique, the more fun! Sorry to suggest a huge project, but I've yet to see one made.

[@profiremedic3503]

Great job can’t wait to see what it’s going to power! I would port & polish then blueprint & balance crank. V force reed cage.

[@MrDmagic88]

As immaculate as your skills are, you don't even have to try to stand out for the rest. You're a natural! & Man that motor is looking great 👍

Appreciate that 😊

[@Shadow-eo2pf]

I want to get a Cr500 soon, but that’s awesome though, got a Wisco piston already in the motor, that’s a score right there, best pistons made, when I get my bike I want to do a full rebuild like what your doing, can’t wait to see that beast run, and whatever project it is, make sure you get a nasty FMF series pipe for it, it’ll run like a beast

[@VasilyBuilds]

Thanks 😊

[@ryanlagoda1352]

Im officially hooked on these builds lol Thank you for posting this and keep it up man. I hope your channel continues to grow you absolutely deserve it. I have watched almost all your videos now and its so impressive to see a young man like you have such a grasp on simple and complicated parts of fab/engineering/chassis physics and mechanical work. I dont want to sound too corny but your destined to go far. And the BEST part of all of this is that you obviously are coming from humble beginnings..I seen a picture in a old circle track magazine that showed a guy building a winning race car in his backyard and it said "Backyard Engineering" for the caption..You remind me of this. Your just going to continue to grow and get better..I cant wait to see what the future holds for you and your projects.

[@VasilyBuilds]

Thank you man. Two years ago I remember putting together my first little motorized bike

[@ryanlagoda1352]

@@VasilyBuilds idk if you have a FB or not but if you could send me a friend request that'd be awesome..aside from owning my own race team here in NY I build/setup asphalt circle track cars. I do all my own engineering and chassis development etc and that's part of why I'm so impressed by what your doing..I know what it takes and you have it and then some. Maybe in some way I could be of some assistance to you.. and honestly I think I could learn from you as well

[@DanielPolivoda]

This thing is gonna rip!

[@RidingWiithJacob]

Engine tear downs are always so relaxing its like therapy.. Like if you agree

[@donellmuniz590]

Tear downs are fun, it's the build-back-ups that are stressful.

[@connorwaits6575]

A 500 two stroke build. Love it man!

[@berube361]

These motors were definetly simple yet so powerful. I didnt build mine but had a shop do the entire motor on my 1986 cr500. Looked brand new and ran even better. Only got to ride it for about 15 minutes total and then someone broke into my garage and stole the bike back on september 1st. Spent 5 months restoring it just to have some scum come and take it from me. Hoping it gets returned but dont think it will turn up. I still find enjoyment in these videos tho! Haha

[@bigshnitzeljesse]

Buy a 250 beater and ride your anger away. Then work on getting something nice together.

[@mitchr931]

I would get the crank rebuilt cost ~ $95 plus parts (crank works) but definitely worth it since the motors apart already. And I would consider getting the cylinder re nikasil coated (power seal) Also if you want to go all out, get the transmission polished or coated.

[@hamanu23]

Nice new KZbin channel. Glad I found it before you finished everything. Looking forward to new updates

[@chrisdutcher9565]

Can't wait to see this thing run, and you hit a 100k.

Hi nice to see you back on with the work keep up the great work

Great vid , so satisfying seeing things clean again !Careful welding the case, if its hi mag content its a specialist job

To get the metal shavings out use a magnet it will help

[@braxtenfranz2257]

You can run the newer crank if you also run a cylinder spacer under the cylinder!!

Love the content you put out brother. I wish you had more frequent uploads. I love watching you work. Also, curious about the 670 buggy. I have a buggy frame and I cant decide on what type of engine I want.

[@VasilyBuilds]

Predator 420cc is a good budget engine. Or a Yamaha Blaster if you want a 2 stroke

[@ryanasmar8242]

Look for a sport bike engine, I suggest the cbr 600 or the gsxr 650. Good luck building it man

5:00 sending eveything out to be vapor blasted because of dirt 4:03 then places the new vapor blasted parts onto the dirt ?

[@conorscolubrids5755]

What year motor is this? At 2:24 you remove a collar or something from the sprocket (drive) gear. Mine looks like it’s “built in”… is it just rusted on? Or are they different per year? Thanks!

Glad you got a good motor buddy !

[@colbyhale4580]

I can’t believe how good that finish came out, so let’s just roll it in dirt and grass, nothing less than a good job though if you get a chance you should do a drag mini bike

[@jacobh2304]

Great job. But if I can give you any advice , make sure to hold the connecting rod when pulling off the cylinder. You don’t want it to smack the case like that

[@daveshively3295]

I think your cat is accually a wizard! Cant wait to see that 500 rip again!

[@BUILDNIGHT]

damn dude....good luck getting that thing back together!

[@jmsblk1]

Great work right tools for the right job.

[@jacebigelow]

Great video Vasily !! I enjoyed this. Good idea on putting a towel down for the tear down. Can you put some wire through those transmission gear clusters to keep all the gears together ? I couldnt tell if the shafts were hollow or not but nice work on the bagging & tagging. Do you have a Harbor Freight parts washer ? Or at least a plastic storage tote with lots of simple green for all the engine guts 🙂

[@TurboDog73TX]

I don't know what You're planning to put the engine in ( I hope it's a build for the dunes! ), But a cool head is a worthwhile upgrade, and a billet water pump impeller too, seeing as Yours is bad. Porting will make or break It's performance.. It's already shaping up to be a killer build!

[@benmacarthur1513]

You can use a later model crank you just need a 10mm spacer under the cylinder and another gasket.

[@VasilyBuilds]

Someone told me 4-5mm

[@fatboy2smoker841]

I don't know how much seat time you have on a 500, but it's always funny to hear people looking for more power..... I have found that smoothing it out makes it better. Most of us don't need more

[@VasilyBuilds]

Zero, It's for a 4 wheel application. Something for dunes/ Off-road It will have lots of traction

[@ANGELICHUMANANGEL]

AWSOME VIDEO PRESENTATION LOVE IT 👌

Great viedo it looked like a fresh piston in the engine should be a great build

where can i get a set of those sprocket/gear holding vice grips? or are they factory tools for this engine?

I wonder if a new water pump housing could be 3D printed in either plastic or powdered metal? I dont know if that's available where you are, or how much it would cost.

[@nova9823]

Could send it to Eric Gore he does some nasty cr 500s especially these years without power valves could do a stroker like a 5 mill and bore it to a 535 which would make it scream keep the build going.

Get a decomp valve done on your head. Will save your leg and cases. Also ditch that wiseco for an OEM or Vertex. The Wiseco's like to smear all over the cylinder.

[@billjeffery5957]

You can put the the 87-2001 crank in the 86 motor.

[@VasilyBuilds]

You need a 3mil spacer plate right?

[@billjeffery5957]

Not That I know of. You should be able to slap it right in. Even if you do need a 3 mil spacer plate (I’m 99% sure you don’t) you can buy the wrench rabbit kit on motosport and it comes with everything to rebuild the motor so u don’t have to track down any of the bearings

[@billjeffery5957]

Actually I’m 100% sure you don’t need a spacer because the cases never changed except for the 2 part clutch cover so you can definitely slap a 87-2001 crank in it

Dont mess around .Pop the crank and repress a new con rod . Big bores eat cranks.
