New build has started, a 1985 #BMW #K100 RT. In this episode all parts are sprayed in 2K satin, part Cerakote and the #engine are reassembled with all new parts
Custom Corner: this is a terrific video that is helpful in so many ways. Of course, the beauty of your painting is displayed and encouraging. The crystal clear video images highlight your efforts, but also provide reference material for viewers. For example, one specific image helped me understand how an original part is formed. This is a specific benefit because I'm hunting down engine oil leaks on a 1988 K bike engine. There's also very helpful benefit derived from your notes related to applications for small amounts of Drei bond and oil and torque specifications during re-assembly. Thank you very much for investing your time to produce and share a valuable resource.
Bedankt 👍🏼 Nee sorry heb ik niet, deze heb ik zo gekocht bij de Hobbyist. Nietige tevreden over de kwaliteit/dichtheid van de print. Versplinterde (te) snel
Nice. I would have also done the raw metal look on the left cover (crank cover). Those straight channels are raw aluminium on the valve cover, why not for the opposite side?
do you use 2 different color brands? once the cerakote h 190 and for the motor selamix DTM. is that right? how many liters of paint did you use approx.? excellent work!!
Yes correct, a mix of Cerakote and 2k paint (selamix). A little goes a long way to be honest. I don't exactly know anymore how much I used for the engine, but I believe it wasn't more than 0,75L all mixed up
This is my second time watching this video, last time was a year ago, great work. Now that I got into car and motorcycle a bit more I just want to ask, during the engine rebuild process, after you strip it down, did you have the engine block machined and resurfaced? Thanks!
Great seeing you come back to the channel! I didn't took out the internals of the engine, but did change the clutch. This was a low mileage bike so wasn't necessary to go that route
@@corner.custom thanks for the reply! I have a 75,000 mileage RT sitting in my garage and not sure if that’s considered “high” or not😅 I’m also wondering if I should have the bike start before I strip everything down
@@benjamincai156 They can handle the mileage pretty good, but that's also dependant on the maintanence. I would definitely start the bike before stripping it down. Then you know how the bike runs and it will give you also a good insight on the parts you'll probably need to replace to get in the right condition
Various brushes on a drill, scotch brite and a lot of elbow crease! In the R100 engine rebuild video I'll go deeper into the cleaning of an engine and more tips & tricks
Forgive the silly question: is this paint equivalent to powder coating, in terms of protection, or is it better? And would you recommend doing the same for the frame?
Not a silly questions at all man, no worries. Everything has it's pro's and con's. If you want to powder coat the engine itself it will need a full strip down and even then I'm in doubt if it would hold up to the temperatures. I like to use paint to keep the underlying structure of the metal. I did painted a frame with this paint and was very satisfied with the result!
@@corner.customi'm in the process to paint my r1150 engine. Still dont know what to do. Powder coat it or spray it with 2k paint? What do you think...
