Watch as John builds a Yamaha Raptor 700 engine from the bottom up. We’ll start with the bottom end, where we’ll get everything cleaned up and then press bearings into our crankcase halves. Then, we’ll install the crankshaft. Next, we’ll move up the engine and get the oil pump and shift assembly installed.
With that finished, we’ll build the clutch and install the water pump. Once that’s done, we’ll work on getting the cylinder built, which includes a Wiseco piston installation.
Then it’s on to the top end, where we’ll show you how to lap the valves and get the camshaft installed. Finally, we’ll get the head attached to the engine.

[@RichM1983]

How could you dislike this? Seriously? This was a great video. You did great work. Thanks for the video.

[@oldschoolmotorsickle]

I’m a 2-wheeler type enthusiast, but the Raptor engine is quite similar to a Moto engine. Nicely engineered. Excellent build video too. Wiseco pistons have come a long way from the old heavy seizure-prone 2-stroke pistons of the 60s and 70s!

[@sentientdogma1206]

You remind me of a strict teacher or a doctor with your demeanor. Very good video and I appreciate your knowledge and wisdom about your profession. An apprentice could learn a lot from you.

This helped me so much rebuilding my Raptor 700!

[@raptordan6851]

After finishing the video I noticed at 1:36 you said the reed valve let’s pressure out . It actually lets fresh air into the exhaust side to burn off unburnt fuel , most likely to meet emission standards , however if the reed valve sticks or if the solenoid fails fresh air can be easily introduced to the combustion chamber causing a severe lean condition , raptor owners give yourself a price of mind and block it off ! Mr Cuervo racing makes a nice plate to block it off.

[@ofueru2219]

1h40 of pure pleasure !!! Can you please make some videos on electric problems just a little more "harder" than a battery problems Thx a lot

i like how you operate nice work nice and neat i watch you because you do things right and tell it like it is

[@Smalltechguy]

Is that all John??? Just a little over 500 parts...childs play for you...holy cow...yeah I'll stick with my tractors and trimmers. I was hoping to get my timing chain out of my 350 without removing any of the gears toward the back...

[@UTAH100]

Good job. I would recommend you use a small silicone brush to brush the oil onto those shafts. Keep the oil in a small container you can dip the brush in. Wear gloves too and use billet gears. Don't drop gears in, carefully place them evenly into the case. That is probably why that first one got stuck and went in crooked which, when pressed can damage the casing. Good tip on the feeler gauge and Loctite. One the head bolts, probably better to freeze them vs. adding oil to them. After all that work, would have like to seen the start up.

[@richardwallace5322]

Wow! This is the best instructional video i've ever seen. I never subscribe, but in your case, I just had to.

[@b1g_ben-473]

Great detail awesome knowledge thank you

[@raptordan6851]

Great build , I am also a fan of freezing bearings and cranks , when there are existing bearings in the case I use a heat gun , aluminum is so conducive , I once put a crank in with a tap of a 1lb rubber mallet .

[@markbudd2809]

great video

[@Alaska7506]

Man your videos are top notch! Thank you and your crew for sharing your knowledge with the world. But on another note, I sure hope you didn't forget to go back and tighten the two cam gear bolts, cause I don't remember seeing you go back after installing the chain tensioner and tightening them up. I'm sure you did, but that's just one thing I noticed.

[@anthonyk6265]

Legend has it those bolts flew off detonated the engine

[@Alaska7506]

@@anthonyk6265 Yeah the piston would have had a fun time pounding the valves, not to mention the possible damage the cam chain and sprocket would have caused. But it would have been a quick kill, so not much suffering lol.

I always set my valve lash to the smallest number because they alway increase from wear never decrease. Good video, I didn’t see the camshaft sprocket torqued however.

[@ziedmanai5029]

just amazing !!!

[@Chase_01]

Need more videos like this on two stoke 250s

[@ronnydubielczyk3572]

awesome video, thanks for that. But you forgot to torque the bolts on the camshaft wheel 1:34

[@gearhead996]

I was hoping he was going to catch that. That's the problem with jumping around from one thing to another sometimes. He did an awesome job detailing the build, but not showing those cam bolts being torqued made me cringe.

[@nunyabizzness5477]

@@gearhead996 I'm sure he torqued them. It also didn't show him putting the coolant inlet on the cylinder, but there it was. Editing missed it is all.
