VESPA P200E Complete Engine Rebuild

A long boring and detailed video of how to completely rebuild the P200 engine.

[@warsektaylor]

Tommy, again great attention to detail and your explanation of how and why to do things on the assembly is wonderful.

[@markbegley8327]

Watching from Wales ,UK ... looking good 👍 👌 MOTOVESPA GT160, P150X and PX125 DISC 😊

[@smallborecorps]

Thanks for watching!

[@reginaldchesterfield8110]

Thanks for making this! It was super informative and helpful!

[@duykhanh12357]

I come from Vietnam. I also ride a Vespa and repair my own bike, thank you

[@smallborecorps]

Very cool!

[@themuz3]

Solid work

[@zakyimani6584]

Watching from Indonesia, great work man, could you do a review of your engine stand?

[@smallborecorps]

I made the engine stand with some square tubing and old vehicle laptop mounts I had laying around at work.

[@lthibault]

Great video, for some reason I am distracted by the sound of your breathing. You have a sensitive microphone. Very impressive garage and tools, this is how one should be organized to rebuilt scooter engines! Especially the custom built support

[@smallborecorps]

It's strange, sometimes it is sensitive enough that it picks up my breathing and most of the time it isn't. Either way I'm glad you're enjoying them.

[@lthibault]

@@smallborecorps Yes and don’t be too hard on yourself i.e. « long and boring » people like myself enjoys the level of details I was completely focused on your video all the way (I fall a bit in the spectrum of light Autism)

Love you from Pakistan Great work keep it up for vespa lovers

[@reginaldchesterfield8110]

6:29 i like the music on these time lapse sections hahah

[@StoneEagle68]

Amazing video. It will be an invaluable resource when I do my rebuild. My main concern is having the proper tools to do the job. Do you have a list of the tools required?

[@smallborecorps]

I don't have a list but if you are only looking to build just one engine. Scooter Mercato has tool sets you can rent. They also sell each tool individually.

[@1russbarber]

Hey great video … I’ve got a T5 to rebuild.. is it basically the same?

[@smallborecorps]

I have never rebuilt a T5 motor before but they do look very similar.

[@reginaldchesterfield8110]

22:36 do we need the nee o-rings if my kit doesnt come with it?

[@kdharris1265]

Is there a torque setting for the cylinder studs? Not the head nuts, but the studs themselves before the cylinder is put on.

[@smallborecorps]

There is no torque setting for the studs. Just have them stick out enough so that you can bolt everything back together. I usually measure them before I remove them and reinstall with some blue loctite so that they don't keep spinning when you go to torque the head down.

[@reginaldchesterfield8110]

1:01:08 what kind of lube are you putting on the seal?

[@reginaldchesterfield8110]

14:48 does it matter if we put it in aluminum?

[@reginaldchesterfield8110]

39:53 How do you tell when the shifter cross is too worn out?

[@reginaldchesterfield8110]

46:21 any advantage to the gasket sealer?

[@azza7999]

Not long or boring if you’re actually going to do it👍

[@reginaldchesterfield8110]

58:29 Does it have to be 2 stroke oil? What if i dont have that.

[@tonyfreitag4475]

37.19 - where do I get that crank puller tool? More information please!!

[@smallborecorps]

You can get it at scootermercato.com.

[@grumpyjay215]

It’s funny, one minute into the video… “Here’s the new Cosa clutch” ….. I was looking to rebuild mine, but it not truly worth it. So I’ll be buying probably that exact same clutch from Marcato…..

[@reginaldchesterfield8110]

Mannnnn… this video was intense. How long did it actually take you to do all that?

[@smallborecorps]

It took about two nights of work/recording to make this video.

[@Thikester]

Do not flatten the rivet , put the rivet in the hole lay flat on vice and use round end of hammer go around outside edge of rivet till you have nice looking head! It is bad to show the world how to do it wrong! Just saying!!!

[@smallborecorps]

They are flat from the factory and if you do not flatten them, they will hit the main crank bearing when it spins. If you are going to tell the world that I’m doing it wrong. You should have at least done it once yourself. 🤦🏻‍♂️
