Yamaha R6 Engine Rebuild Part 3: Head Install & Final Steps | Partzilla.com

[@tonygovender3805]

thank you, I am an automotive mechanic and because of a back injury I had to transition into motorbike repairs. Your videos are a blessing. Thank you so so much.

[@typatmont8781]

Learned how to rebuild my first engine through this series! thanks

[@billymartinez4750]

You have been my teacher, in this process, thank you sir, iIsure hope to meet you in person one day!

[@Adikxx]

Incredible knowledge and experience ! Respect.

[@brewerbrewer5988]

John Talley its a breeze watching you work! True craftmanship! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Holland!

[@davidalexispr]

Thanks for this video! I'm building a 2007 R1 engine which is pretty similar to this engine! It helped a lot! I got all the parts from you guys and they were on a really great price! Thanks!

[@chuckhooper25]

I'm doing my r1 now does it matter which way you start torquing down the camshaft caps or do you start tightening from farthest away from chain and working away towards the cams sprocket

[@davidalexispr]

@@chuckhooper25 I dont even remember how I did since this was about 3 years ago. I ended up selling the bike.

[@Ryguy4ya]

Saw these videos a few weeks ago when a project came up for my 06 r6. I really appreciated having this series to look to, as this was my first time tearing down a motor. All the parts I got were from you Partzilla. I was going to buy from you to show support for these videos, then I found that your the cheapest oem part dealer for the miscellaneous parts I needed anyways! Double thanks!!! P.s. ever get those dyno numbers for this 636 kit?!

[@clearlight1242]

can anyone help me - i have a 2012 r6, im tryna install the camshafts. the marks on the intake and exhaust are supposed to be level w cylinder head - whenever i line them up, and go to install camshaft caps, the camshaft sprockets move and the lines on them are no longer level w the cylinder head - how do i fix this, should i install the tensioner (i have a manual one) in before installing camshaft caps? the camshaft doesn't sit in fully straight too

[@thestar111]

Great work. I'm going to replace the piston rings, grind valves and replace shims on an old 1998 ZX6r Kawasaki. These videos really helps me out.

[@driftwood757]

I am going to buy a used r6 motor to tear a part and learn on so that later I can fix my own FZ6 (year 2006) as I understand the engines are virtually identical. I can't stress enough how amazing it is that a video like this exists. I will be studying it religiously until I buy the engine. Also... This is low key a GREAT ASMR video.

[@warrendvideography3004]

Currently rebuilding my 2008 r6 motor after spinning a bearing. I had to replace the crank, bearing and also replaced the piston rings but wasn't sure the break-in procedure with a rebuild of this nature

[@PartzillaParts]

It's always a matter of contention. I like to ride it easy and vary rpms. They say change the oil at 600miles then you're good to go. Being a sticker, I like to change oil at 200, and then again at 600, just to get some of the shavings out.

[@ryanintopeka]

Watching this job all the way to the last video and then not hearing it start....it was like really good sex with no orgasm. haha! Seriously though, that was expert work. Absolute cleanliness. Love to see that.

[@vinceschaeffer]

I'm a bit late but I just wanna add... why the heck didn't yamaha make the rx1 snowmobile cams with the timing marks on them?? I had hell of a time figuring out the timing but thankfully I was able to get it right. the service manual is missing a few steps on what's going on but you learn as you go. thanks for this build! I'm still learning 👍

[@ryanharriss7950]

Probably the best vid on this subject. The rebore is an interesting one. I've had a few liner issues with the older r6's. I'm wondering what the spend on this project was?

[@chrisburnsed6349]

I can only speak for my shop on this. A complete build like this for a race bike and plus doing some more with the head , valve-train, Carrillo rods, lightened / balances rotating assembly and undercut trans is ball park $9,000.00 - $11,000.00 depending on what you send me to work with as a baseline engine condition. We’ve built engines over $15,000.00. Depends on your wallet and wants. But to probably better answer your question A basic top to bottom rebuild using standard factory parts no fancy stuff is $2,000.00 plus parts needed. And we set EVERYTHING to tighter tolerances that the factory.

[@gunfighter550]

I never see videos on how to re-install an engine to a bike unless theyre Harley videos. Ive just had the gearbox rebuilt on my 2006 ZX10r and removed the engine myself to take to the repair shop. Was looking for some tips or a video on putting that sucker back in :(

Great job! I've not known that many techs that could both do the work, and explain the work they're doing, at the same time. Dyno numbers? You've got me looking for parts on partzilla.com right now.

[@PartzillaParts]

Thanks, Giff! We were on a timeline to get it done and drop it off to the race team, so we didn't have time to mount it to a bike, test it and then uninstall it. We are going to do a follow up with them shortly and see how the numbers turned out.

Clear Light take a look at my latest video on my channel... my method of resolving this was wedging the cam chain guide so that the chain is tight while I install the cam caps, that way it doesn’t skip teeth.

[@elfantasmaysombra8841]

Very useful videos thanks

[@kulashaker30]

I have this problem in my R6 where it's very hard to find the Neutral during traffic but it can be found easily when the engine is stopped by the stand. What do you think is causing this issue?

[@shery3331]

Hi, After watching your videos multiple times, I feel like you are the right person to ask about this problem that i am having with my Yamaha R6 2011, 13000 Miles. Okay, so when i start my bike, its fires up cold real nice. After the temperature reaching 135 F, the RPM will start fluctuating. It will start bouncing like a cowgirl on steriods. After few bounces, engine will die. If i put it in gear and ride it, at low RPMs it will misfire. Going through the forums and videos, i ended up replacing Spark plugs, Ignition Coils, Fuel filter, changed cam and pick up sensor but the problem is still there. I do not know what else to look for. I need guidance about this problem. Any help is appreciated.

[@dave2121973]

Check compression of each cylinder. With 13,000 miles on the bike, it sounds like low compression on 1 or more cylinders.

[@SPEEDEMONR]

can you do a yamaha r125

[@davidalexispr]

How is the break in for this kind of job? A few slow miles, oil change and then rip it?

[@PartzillaParts]

Typically, organic oil...couple hundred miles easy, vary RPMs, then change oil. Organic. Ride another 400 or so and ramp up your riding. Still varying RPMs. Oil change to whatever oil you prefer. Ride it like you stole it.

The torque seem so low...the last head gasket i done was on my alfa and the bolts were turned a further 270° in 3 increments of 90°...they were absolutely screaming in pain aswell 😂😂 had to use a breaker bar to get the leverage on them

Just wondering what was the break-in procedure you did ?

[@PartzillaParts]

Proper breakin is 500-600 miles. Vary RPMs, and speeds but take it easy. Then fluid swap.

Great series of videos these. Thank you. Is a GSXR engine very different from this, as far a rebuild and assembly go?

They all go in the same, then you rotate the last plate one notch back.

Not at this time.

[@guzforce]

Simple awesome!

[@ExplosiveAnyThing]

I really wonder why you need to rotate the last friction disk ? Whats the reason behind this?

[@PartzillaParts]

When you offset the last disc it helps eliminate clutch chatter. At least that's how I was trained.

[@ExplosiveAnyThing]

Ok thank you very much for your reply! Nice videos, well put together! Well done! Keep it up. Cheers!

[@lp-pf5el]

Partzilla my name is Perry and my question to you is I just rebuilt my 07cbr1000 and when I go to install the cam shafts even though it's TDC they not sitting like they should be and I'm doing everything by the book any answers

[@PartzillaParts]

You need to counteract the compression of the valves and effect the tensioner is going to have. A tooth off is a tooth off once the cam caps and tensioner are in place.

[@yurynazarov4061]

Should you put RTV for valve cover gasket?

[@PartzillaParts]

Not with rubber gaskets.

[@yurynazarov4061]

thank you.

[@almango8027]

I've noticed in the teardown video the "T"/Top dead center marks on the camshafts were both in the middle pointing towards each other (~5:25 in the teardown video). In this rebuild you had them pointing away from each other (~3:35 in this video). Will this cause an issue? Either way a huge thank you for these insightful videos.

[@luha628]

Yes it would, check your service manual, it should show the correct position. I believe it is away

[@marvinruiz6567]

Nice..!

[@TheTonyBeau]

One question. In the engine tear down video you show the camshaft intake and exhaust marks facing each other when piston one is at TDC. On the reinstall you have these facing away from each other. Is this an error or is there something I’m missing as midway on my rebuild and confused?

[@PartzillaParts]

It was an editing mistake when the video was cut together. The marks should be set to the outside, the last part of the video is accurate. We will address this video and fix it.

[@TheTonyBeau]

Partzilla Thanks for clarifying. Great video, very clear and easy to follow. Thanks.
