Tearing Down My YZ250 Engine! Part 3

In todays episode of my 2006 YZ250 two stroke build, I begin tearing down the engine. I am tearing the engine down because I plan to do a full rebuild on the engine to get it set up for some upcoming races. The teardown consists of me taking the engine all the way down to the cases, transmission, and crankshaft. While tearing down the engine, I notice a few good size metal shavings in the engine. My best guess, before I start looking at the engine components, is that the shavings are coming from the transmission. After the engine is completely torn down, I begin the process to get the cases ready to be coated with Cerakote.

Your "Cam Strong" sticker on your engine stand is first class Adam...very cool and it speaks volumes of your character! Keep up the great work.

[@chadwilterding9440]

you are very talented. I enjoy and get so much from your videos. I am currently in the middle of doing a complete build of my 2005 YZ250 and I'm not sure I would have made it as far as I have without this series of videos to follow. So I thank you greatly!

[@eliopereira5072]

Awesome! It goes on like this! Watching your videos anyone becomes mechanical!

[@Shane_Meyer]

You should do the clutch cover and fly wheel cover and all the covers black then do like a burnt bronze on one of the cases like Cameron niemela. Just an idea.

[@DragonFury-gq5zo]

Wow great build. Can’t wait to get a bike of my own. Thanks for inspiring me!

[@adampaganelli4891]

Heck yeah! Thanks for watching.

What color or color combo do you guys think the engine should be coated with? Thank you for watching!

Adam Paganelli black or blue

Cobolt, its charcoal with a hint of flake, like the factory look!!

Burnt bronze with black covers

[@East511Racer]

You should check the threads from oil drain bolt itself. I've seen them stripped before and leaving some metal inside the transmission. Just a thought. Great video series

[@Thefailcycle]

Wow not gonna lie not the biggest fan of two strokes but man they’re making a comeback

[@livefreeandshred9818]

Loving the videos. Looks like how my winter went. Black center cases and burnt bronze outer and black clutch and ignition covers

[@adampaganelli4891]

Glad you’re enjoying the series!

[@duckseverywhere8119]

Your videos are super interesting to me, it's great to watch you tear down the bike completely! This one's good so far! :)

[@adampaganelli4891]

I’m glad you are enjoying the video!

[@kieranmann9761]

Excellent video on this tear down. Very detailed. Looks like your engine stand worked great, love the Camstrong sticker!! Blue cases with a polished cylinder and a blue head would be pretty cool. Boyesen clutch and flywheel covers would also be nice.

You really do great job)) it’s my dream to make rebuild old japan bike ))) really nice to have opportunities for it ))) do your best man )))

[@ericjaulin9562]

Im currently in the process of doing my 2017 kxf 250, ive gone with cobolt, its matt charcoal with a tiny amount of flake, my personal opinion is that bright colours like blue or anything makes it look cheap n nasty, like a rattle can home job, but thats just me, the charcoal is simple and clean looking.

[@adampaganelli4891]

I agree it has a stock clean look and let’s your anodized parts standout. Thanks for watching the series!

[@ericjaulin9562]

@@adampaganelli4891 definitely, currently im still riding every weekend but I usually finish here in England about November time, depending on weather, then I strip the bike n refresh engine, suspension and grease/change bearings so Ive only coated the water pump cover and the clutch/water pump housing so far but will be doing the cases and other parts at the end of the year. I Love watching bike builds, cant wait for the yz end result!!

Man nice work and you have some incredible mechanical skills sir!! You remind me of a younger version of myself, I had to do all of my own work like this in my early teens!! As for color I would have to say like someone else below stated, a black matte color would look great!! Lookin forward to the next video!! :)

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the series🤟🏼

[@ethanlenhardt6690]

I think a light bronze color would really standout with an all white or black plastics build.

[@adampaganelli4891]

That’s a pretty good idea man. Thanks for watching the series!

[@davidbicking2626]

They look like really thin shavings that might have come from the retainer in one of the ball bearings

[@adampaganelli4891]

Could be from the bearings as well. I will take a closer look. Thanks for watching!

[@CAKEface75]

Just come across your channel and thoroughly enjoying the build series. What did you use to get that small bearing out, tried slowing the vid down but couldn’t clearly see what you used. Cheers from the uk 👍🏻

[@tomatoknuckles]

Great video as always. I think the engine black with polished covers would look nice? I know it's a good bit off but id love to see you do an rm or kx next. Look forward the next vid.

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks for the tip man I will keep that in mind! I’m glad you are enjoying the series.

[@JoranPrins]

How can you torque the cylinder nut back on that is in the power valve?

[@adampaganelli4891]

Using a crows foot.

[@sideast]

Black case / alum head / bronze covers

[@psycho3344]

Hey Adam nice build bro. Have you done anything with the 1991 yz250? I have an issue with the clutch arm not returning/springing back. I have checked for a return spring on the parts catalogue and can't find a return spring anywhere in the pics it uses a push rod system and I checked the rod to see if it was bent but it's not. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[@YamaBoyFZ09]

Great video keep up the great work

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thank you. Glad you’re enjoying the series!

[@ProximaCenturri]

Whats up bro, had a question if I wanted to just replace the crankshaft and bearings with the seals that the kit comes with on my yz 125. do I have to remove everything like in this video to replace the crank? Or can I avoid nothing to make it faster?

[@jamietaylor2900]

Are hot rod cranks good for a yz 125 2006

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

I feel like you are copying Camera Niemela a bit, but I like his channel, and I like yours. It looks like you are doing a really good job on that YZ250. I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Make it completely chrome! I was wondering, when you rebuild, do you watch sometimes your teardown videos to Remember how to put it back together? 😃

Yes sometimes I will refer to it or the service manual which ever is more convenient. Thanks for watching!

Great video, will be interesting to see how the motor turns out. The engine stand appears to work really well. Question: what model of parts washer and sand blaster do you have?

[@adampaganelli4891]

Thanks Ben. Glad you’re enjoying the series. I was super happy with how the engine stand worked and I think it will probably work even better on assembly. The parts washer is just a cheap harbor freight model and the sandblaster I picked up used for a good price. I think the company went out of business because I can’t find them anywhere. Great blaster though haha👍🏼

Adam Paganelli yeah it would be nice to have those two items. Once I have a bigger shop I will get those
