XR70 Engine Overhaul Part 1 + Life and 4Runner Update

It's been a long while since I've posted videos. I have been filming a few things in my limited free time but mostly I've been busy with my last semester at school, my last break and home, and then moving and starting a new job. I'm just now starting to catch up so here's a video series showing a total overhaul on a buddy's Honda XR70. A lot was wrong with it so I got to film a lot of new work. Enjoy.

Love your stuff!

[@sammccall3674]

Awsome update man!!

[@tubejim101]

Nice job on the engine swap.

[@coryburgeson3666]

Where’s part to at I can’t find it? Also I have a xr 70 bike that’s getting weak would you recommend a new piston/rings or a whole rebuild. Defiantly needs a o-ring around the kick starter

[@jetsgo66]

Looking forward to the seat mod I need some more room haha

[@TheAlexManVideos]

jetsgo66 It's super easy. You gain about an inch and a half more leg room, it doesn't sound like much, but it made a world of difference on my occasional seven hour drives.

Hi I really like your videos. Thanks for making them. Just a thing that's been bothering me...why are there 3 acorn nuts and one regular nut on the cylinder studs and why does the regular nut have a copper washer but the other ones have a regular washer?

[@datto240z]

I would trust AlexMan even working on space shuttles.

[@timmypayne7477]

Hey thanks so much for the informative video. I want to ask your advice. I have the exact same xr70r. put it up for winter storage, and when I brought it out in the spring it began smoking white smoke immediately. bike have very low hours, and never smoked before storage. it looks like rings or cylinder wear but I'm just not convinced it could start so suddenly. any ideas?

[@broganhogan3469]

Alex been a big fan of your videos. Congrats on banging out a swap on your 4runner over a weekend and then driving it back to school, and congrats on graduating + new gig + new house. Sounds like your living the dream!! Do you have an engineering degree or anything like that?

[@TheAlexManVideos]

Snapback CBR Thanks! Things are working out. It seems that I'm not getting any richer. I make more money than I did in school but I'm also spending more. I graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering.

[@chrisng2]

Yo Alex -Did you ever finish part 2 of this video?Thanks!

[@TheAlexManVideos]

I have not. It was all filmed (long ago) I just need to edit and publish it.

[@bavarianmonkey8326]

Please get a square tool for the rocker adjustment - those pliers simply do not belong there and screw up the square head in the long run ;)

[@TheAlexManVideos]

BavarianMonkey I've always wanted to, I always advocate "the right tool for the job." I don't really have a reason why I haven't bought the tool yet.

[@gharackable]

Yay

[@joshuamurphy5891]

Aaaaannnd there is no part 2

[@TheAlexManVideos]

Maybe one day I'll get around to editing that video. It's certainly way overdue.

[@joshuamurphy5891]

@@TheAlexManVideos should hope so. I have a 70 in pieces rn and would like to know all that is wrong w it and all the symptoms I should be looking for meaning signs of other problems before I reassemble plus the proper reassemble. But not just the reassemble...

[@adam1885282]

Part 2?

[@DAV1DXAV1ER]

You look like Keanu Reeves. Just curious what ethnicity you are? Thanks for the videos, i'm doing a rebuild and picking up tips along the way.

[@andy72xbox]

what job do you have?

[@Murdachevy]

Post some vids

[@chriskosin472]

Any interest in rebuilding my sons XR70 engine, I’ll pay for the parts and your labor

[@nathanmcfall9957]

Make some More dirtbike vids like if you agree

[@samdurbin7507]

[@TheAlexManVideos]
