Excellent video Hester! You can tell you spent a lot of time on the engine and video. Awesome instructions and it sounds like we had the same teacher.😊
That gasket is high dallor, but on cement saws engines, I installed a new one every time I serviced it. I got a GX 390 that smoked like that Had 50/1 mix gas in it Just drained it and it ran great Good 10 bucks buy😊😊😊
I've been taught that motor oil should be used when the engine will be rebuilt and immediately run, while assembly lube is better for project engines where the engine might not be started for weeks (which turns into years) . Assembly lube will keep pumped and hydrodynamic pressure from being built up, but will obviously stick around for longer than oil.
Thanks for the video. I bought a 2nd identical generator for my off grid property. I’ll have to rebuild the top end on it. I’ve rebuilt 2 motors about 50 years ago. You’ve shown me a few more tips to get the job done right. Appreciated.
I think I would buy the block unit. From EBay for hundred with crank rod piston rings and block Build it up for resale, cam and balance shaft should be good
Hi Nice video- I like your style. You've inspired me to do my Honda. A couple of questions. Is that an oversize piston or just a new piston with oversize rings? Is it Honda? How did you decide what oversize Piston/rings you needed? What big end and head torques did you use? Thank you
Thank you! So this rebuild was just using stock size piston and rings. Normally if it was an engine being properly rebuilt you would take a measurement of the boar in several different locations and compare it with the maximum allowable tolerances for wear in the manual and make your decision from there whether you need to go with a oversized piston and rings or you can just use a factory set. As I said in the video this motor is destined for a go kart and I was not very concerned about meeting or exceeding tolerances lol
I have a tillotson 212 with a big valve head . The block was new and looked honed . It was runing fine for a couple days and all of a sudden white smoke . Only after it warms up . The block I vented . I did install bronze guides and recut the vslve seat . It’s ported aswell . I called ec carbs and they told me to fill in the oil hole on the right side or the cylinder . The hole that’s visible when u take the head off . The head has the same hole but it’s round . He said that should help . I put the head on stroker tillotson that also knew and it did the same thing . Anyone one have any tips or experience? Pls help . Ty
@@utiprogress6586 my buddy let me barrow his billet head . I think that might reveal the issue . Ec carbs said to cap the oil hole next to the cylinder when the heads off . Lmk if I’m missing anything .
