OC: I've built cars and bikes both, and there have been a few that were similar to the stumbles in this one. Also, those subtitles had me rolling from the beginning 🤣. Ready to see that beast breathe some fire!
11:01 "Most likely going to be a special order type of tool" 🤣 Considering he didn't know he could just grab one from the nearest orileys, he strikes me as a "K.A.C"(Know all C). Just faking it until he makes it.
OC. 😉 Speaking as someone who can just about change a spark plug, I can only wish to be able to work my way around an engine like demonstrated in this video. Great stuff 👍🏻👍🏻
@@jeffreymurillo3131 Well... No. SOME of us have that gift. Others... let's just say they should be carefully supervised. Chase might be one such individual. ;)
Brother, been there more times than I can count, cars, bikes, lawnmowers, or whatever. Going all the way back in after you got it all together...no man hath said more swear words. Respect! 👍
There are times when I have to step back cuz my hands are shaking so badly from assembly nerves. And tell myself it's only nuts and bolts but it's funny how that happens you're almost there bro. this time you got it. I can feel it!! Way to push thru
OC. As an auto tech that has done engine and trans rebuilds for years now, after watching these videos I just assume you use to step on puppies and kittens in a past life and this has been your punishment. great work sticking it out. Cheers
If it's in good shape why not? The one in this video is barely used, there wouldn't be any problems there..doesn't seem like it but you can get away with a lot of things in an engine. Sometimes replacing smaller things is just an excess of caution ;)
@@RoadUser_Motovlog because it crushes and conforms to the irregularities in the two surfaces. You will never have it in the exact same place the second time. It will be a problem in the future
@@archiedentone5950 yes and no..of course it crushes and you'll never put it exactly in the same place twice, but in this specific case we're talking about an almost brand new engine that barely started and didn't really heat up, and while it's true that the gasket shapes up like the small imperfections of the surfaces we need to keep in mind that we're talking about a fraction of a fraction of a millimeter. The gasket wouldn't truly adapt to the parts until it went on a full heat up/cool down and stress cycle. If this happened after a few Km i'd scrap it too, but since the bike never even left the lift it's really unlikely that reusing that gasket will cause problems in the future.
@@RoadUser_Motovlog lol when did you decide to make all that up? The gasket is deformed and this adds an elastic stress to the material. This is like a pre-load on between the surfaces and gasket. This is the same as spark plug gaskets. Thermal cycling actually reduces this deformation induced stress over time. This is one of the reasons why you re-torque or have TTY head bolts. Stop spreading nonesense.
OC: Been in similar situations where it seems every step, even the simple ones, just fight you for every ounce of patience and mental energy. When I finally finish, there is no joy, just relief it's over, and anxiety that I'll have to fix something else on that cursed demon.
I suppose there's a way to get worked up as things add up along the way, but that proper-tool-for-the-proper-job moment with the ring compressor left me shaking my head. 🙂
Damn. Damn. You’re a f’n soldier, son. This has become a tutorial of life lessons. Thank you so much for not giving up. Mad respect for all of you. Brian, you’re my new hero. Wherever you go from here-they’re some lucky S.O.B.s. Thank you, sir. And the same to the rest of y’all.
OC: Have participated in many builds of engines and repairs. Each one has been different with different issues and different challenges. While also have done different rebuilds and each were unique. So I will say that Brian / Chase and crew have had growing pains / challenges LOL. I would have enjoyed working with, while adding to the list of checks and balances for the future.
This is a tool that your not going to find on the shelf of your local store and then proceeds to show a harbor freight style piston compressor tool lol omg 😱 it gets better and better
OC - this whole bike has been a struggle. 1st engine I rebuilt [xl200] used too much sealant and plugged a oil passage to the cam and burned it up. Expensive lesson. But learned something.
I had this happen to an old friends Mitsubishi eclipse GSX, he had a built engine, and someone blocked the passage to oil the head with RTV and needless to say, some ugly things happened. I was able to clean it out with compressed air, he got the head and cams cleaned up and the car ran fine after.
@Rolling On Tens. Which naturally makes you question the level of knowledge and experience right? I'm not having a crack, good on him for having a go. But anyone who has any experience with engines knows about $10 ring compressors right?
All I can say is thanks for the good content. For a while there it seemed like episodes were being put out with a bunch of fluff. Nice to see you guys getting away from that.
OC: Definitely seemed harder than it needed to be. Having rebuilt a engine for a R6. It gave me issue after issue and that was before pandemic parts delivery struggles.
OC...Good work on this B. That was a succession of nightmares, looks like you made it to the end. I'd have turned to hard drugs and a ouija board during this engine fiasco. You didn't quit. Props.
The bike my dad owned was purchased with a bad valve. If you miss a shift on a CBX racing a KZ1300, 10+ thousand RPM is a bad thing. We, my dad, his mechanic, and myself rebuilt that bike from the crankshaft out. The was a picnic compared to what I seen in this bike.
OC: For sure a struggle. Anytime you get that deep in the motor it gets seriously sketch. I have only rebuilt singles and couldn't imagine doing one that is that complicated.
O.C. I commend you for your patience and resilience Brian!👏 It's not a motorcycle but, I've had a timing chain explode on my old 1993 BMW 325i I had awhile back and it's similar process in taking apart and replacing valves and all that jazz. It was a PITA trying to be as careful and thorough in the rebuild process not to mention quite expensive even for doing the work yourself if you have to make or buy tools to get it done. It's nice to see the bike making its forward progress again and I'm looking forward to the next episode🤙
OC never rebuilt a motorcycle engine but it definitely looked like a pain. Also looks like a lot of fun and very gratifying at the end. Just binged season 4 to watch the paninglee build process and I’d love to get into doing shit like that.
OC: That wasn't a struggle, but rather an epic battle. I recently dreamed I had won the lottery and then secured a contract to fly Brian all the way to Europe to work on recovering an old Honda
O.C. man... I would've just gotten a new engine at that point lmao. I am honestly surprised you didn't throw that thing in the bin just from frustration.
OC. I've rebuilt motors on zx6s, 10's, z1ks and a few 919's and one 08 cbr1k. I'd rather have done other motors blindfolded than work on the motor you have as it seems that every step was a fight against that motor. But there's relief knowing the job was done right, to tolerances.
Everyone go to community then ask a Smort Question. Tune into the podcast Thursday 4:30-6 to see if you get Smort Meme'd. You might hear Chase say your name Live!!!!! SMORT AWAY GUYS!!!!!
Hi guys. I have a question for you guys…. I have a 08 CBR 1000RR. I what to know if you guys had the same loud whining noise that apparently this engine has from factory? Mine does it and it is loud….at idle and decelerating. Im going to open the clutch area to see if I found something. Some sites said that it is an issue with the crankshaft. Apparently mine has the TSB done for this issue but I don’t think it was done properly. I will appreciate in advance all your help. Thanks a lot. Pretty good channel…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Who is the guy working on this motor? I would love to have him work on my bike. He is so meticulous and thorough. Does anyone have his contact or location to look him up?
Oc: just a lot of elbow grease...some new parts. At the end of the day it's just some mechanical thing. It bothers, yes but I personally love this channel videos. And remember when chase brought the ducati the first one The monster. This situations just brings you brian as the real mechanic the one that knows a lot, the one that enjoys what you do. The one that shares the knowledge, the one that teaches. Thank you. This weekend I'm going to disassemble a ktm duke 200. Maybe a broken valve. Maybe something worse. Wish me luck
Mmmm... lots of careful filming angles and cuts done to minimise viewer inspection 😳. Was the valve collet(s) that jumped out reused after 'testing'? What was that about Titanium disintegrating?
Since the shim and tappet/bucket/lifter press on the valve stem what does the rubber mallet and socket (looked like a socket) test really do or test for? Such a bummer you had to redo all this.
Compress's the valve springs so that if anything were to jump loose, you'd know then rather then when the motor is fully assembled and you go to start it. It's added piece of mind
Can you go into detail on what happened and who messed up and how at the place that sent you the new motor ? Please name them, you can simply name them in a positive manner and explain they made a mistake and took care of issues right away or whatever. But please understand that your experience is unlikely to be the experience of the regular guy so it’s important to name these shops when they do good, bad, or both. So who was it please and how did they handle their error
OC - This is one of the best bike build series of the lot! Feel sorry for Brian but it’s amazing work and it shows what happens to all of us😦. Love the effort guys 🙏🏻 thank you
Love these comments from those that probably have troubles building Legos. WITH the instructions... ;) Pay no attention to 'Mick' and 'Ian'. The head was supposed to be complete from the shop they had assemble it. Brian SHOULD have double-checked it, but wasn't expecting anything to be remiss. Valves have small 'keeper clips' that hold them in place. If one disconnects, the valve will just fall into the chamber.
@@troyjollimore4100 I actually rebuild and refresh race engines for a number of Superbike race teams, I know the the Honda engine extremely well as I’ve rebuilt and refreshed every evolution of the CBR1000 over the last 20 years, it was Brian the builders mistake. Never take anything for granted, thats whats it needs to produce reliable quality work, he did not do that.
@@Shinysideup Absolutely right. But he was probably operating under a time crunch. It’s why I do my own work, or search out a mechanic like yourself that will take the time, rather than rush through. I’ve seen this happen with many mechanics that I’ve known to be ‘good’. Serves nothing to mock and disparage over a mistake. Life always tends to pounce on the few times you let your guard down, and even harder when it happens more seldom!
Ace mechanics that are as meticulous as this are hard to come by. On a project like this most guys would have thrown in the towel long before this....if attempted commencement of project at all. Chase is lucky to have this gentleman around👍
This mechanic guy... looks like he knows a lot about engines and he is more than capable of doing this job but I think this is an attitude problem and just not doing things correctly. You should always check something you sent out for repair or modification because you don't know what they have done to it. Also his work planning is terrible, just bolting and unbolting same things over and over again ...
OC: what’s with people talking ish at Brian in the last video as if it was his fault. I got my brother to find me their addresses and I had a chat with them to teach a couple of them some respect but it’s still a trash move. Everybody knows we make fun of chase around here. Not Brian. The Devil Ruroc went down to Georgia looking for a soul to steal and that soul was CHASE’s NOT NOT NOT Brian’s so leave him alone or fight me irl
