WEIRD Octagonal piston ring

[@yakiudon7921]

Max Headroom called and wants his editor back.

[@1312Johnny]

Please bring the ‘board talks’ back! Can we have more of them? It’s just like old times!

[@pjbuckmaster]

These are the videos that I remember you doing long time ago and really enjoy them. Keep doing them. I also enjoyed the videos of analyzing failures on motor components.

[@stevewalker2028]

I'm liking the new edit style. Snappy.

[@A_S_100]

Very interesting, I was curious why I hadn't seen these before. Turns out the 70s 2 stroke Suzuki's I've touched didn't have expander rings but looks like some of the 70s Kawasaki 2 strokes did. I guess some manufacturers used them, some didn't.

[@FlightEngineering1]

These are still used on the hydraulic feeds on WW2 Hydromatic aircraft propellers which use bronze "piston" rings and therefore have very little spring in them, so need a spring expander.

[@smith6666]

Very well explained, thanks.

Cutting back to this style of video in style great video brother 🎉

[@brianevans1946]

I remember those from my 50cc bikes.

[@guillo88]

great vid, thx!

[@andrewhanderson2587]

Single ring piston V6 X 2 motors (outboard's) = 12 rings @ $705 each the rings are GOLD plated, ouch! If you get a hundred hours out of them you consider yourself very lucky, the price you have to pay to go fast on water is amazing when you want to reach over a hundred miles per hour .🤯

[@jareknowak8712]

What? 700$ for a single ring??

[@noggintube]

Editing this tight gives an erratic style that's hard to watch. Other seem to like it, so each to their own I guess. I'm guessing it's automated to remove any pauses in speech, but it stops it feeling natural.

[@rickyapearman]

I agree, the jump cuts are very harsh. It’s very distracting. I rather have a 10 minute video that doesn’t feel rushed. Feels more natural when Matt takes a second to think about how to get a point across in the most logical way.

[@thedirtyworkshop]

@rickyapearman you're just old, get used to it.

[@goinhot9133]

I love it. Less likely to click off in a moment of boredom

[@malcolmdown9170]

Back to the workshop. Dirty garage guy gone

[@deadprivacy]

He still a dirty garage guy except now he's in a workshop. Not that he ever does any...

[@Stephane1995]

Should've gotten cononicel Tim to try to pronounce octagonal for the intro

[@alanrichardson1672]

Pink pens suit you😂

[@Fumacenta2tempos]

Should i use it? I bought a re-bore kit to use in a 1997 yamaha dt 200r, and the piston kit came with it. I did not use this octagonal ring. Do i have to open and put this between the second ring?

[@mattlennymoore282]

I have these on my Ypvs 350 and a lot people recommend to leave them out, which I have never understood. If they are meant to be there why would you leave them out?

[@gafrers]

Blackboard videos FTW Interesting and greatly explained

[@ballockybill2277]

Expander rings and condoms , I never use either, too much likelihood of expensive failures.

[@Luske74]

😂

[@Desmo4268]

Excellent content again , I love learning new stuff but please stop letting Keith lemon do your editing

[@jareknowak8712]

👍

[@livewire..]

Ancient tech, no longer relevant.

[@thedirtyworkshop]

Why are you deleting your comment?

[@swifty8160]

OK, it´s ancient. But those kits are still sold for Simson and for Piaggio Bikes.

[@thedirtyworkshop]

Live wire here just wants to complain. He's a coward, just ignore him. He'll probably delete this comment...

[@livewire..]

@ No, my comment is just that, a comment. It is not meant to be a derogatory. Your tutorial on this odd part is fine.

[@thedirtyworkshop]

But I'm crass right?

[@wfomph1435]

[@blameabletulip9829]

But what was wenogo?

[@sidwainhouse]

Don't go there...
