Kawasaki ZX6R 636 Rebuild PT2. - Engine Rebuild 

Thanks man 🏍️🛠️🤘

Thanks so much. I’m glad you’re finding it useful for you 🛠️🤘

I’m glad you’re found my video useful for your project.

Thanks!🏍️🛠️🤘

42 seconds into the video and 20mins 2sec to see what I am talking about

Yes you’re right. I did place those breather valves upside down. I have no idea what I was thinking at that time. Thanks for the shout out! 👍🏍️🛠️🤘

Hey Thanks for the compliment I’ll be uploading the link by next week 🏍️🛠️🤘

A mi también me seria de mucha ayuda el enlace! Excelente trabajo! 👌

Hi Yes I did replace the exhaust studs with new. You can find aftermarket studs on eBay or even on Amazon for a reasonable price. The gasket set I used was sourced from Germany. Still it was very pricey but not as expensive as the OEM gasket sets Here is a link for the gasket set 🛠️🤘 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134622335435?chn=ps&_ul=GB&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1FSnJsbMARIepUZH2aOWvwA79&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-170020-547209-2&mkcid=2&itemid=134622335435&targetid=293946777986&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=20135&poi=1000936&campaignid=20784045347&mkgroupid=157398042404&rlsatarget=pla-293946777986&abcId=&merchantid=109864583&gclid=CjwKCAiAqY6tBhAtEiwAHeRopbQYSjs5VnZUHdiPWQBO6bATiUyeEsT56qIOX19J4LavGl23U_zRfxoCyi4QAvD_BwE

Hi I just used the Haynes manual. That book has so much information. The book also showing the tightening sequence and the loosening sequence. If you only know the tightening sequence for your bike I should do it the reverse way. The last bolt you’re tightening should be the first bolt you’re loosening and working your way backwards. I hope it makes sense. I watched the video about a hundred times before uploading it and I didn’t notice the crankshaft until you just told me 🤣 Some how my brain just doesn’t notice that. 🤷‍♂️ I’m extremely happy you’re using my video for your build. I wish you the best of luck for your project. 🏍️🛠️🤘

@@zrcarbon9937 no problem i finally got it off.. now i have to figure out how to get the tensioner cam guides out. no mention in the manual about it

Thanks so much for the support. The music is from epidemic sound. 🛠️🤘

Hey That’s cool you would like to service your race bike. You should invest into a Haynes Manual. Makes the whole work so much easier. It has all the details what you need to service or rebuild your bike. 🏍️🛠️🤘

Thanks for the compliment Yeah I would loved to do a couplet engine rebuild. To replace everything and to take most of the stuff to the machine shop to resurface and get them done by professionals. Unfortunately I was running on the budget. I only paid 350 dollars just for the gaskets and the oil seals. 🤯 Soooo bloody expensive Hopefully in the future I’ll be able to get a complete rebuild done Thanks so much for watching 🛠️🤘

I didn't think he did anything wrong other than he could have carried on sanding a bit more to get all the equal, i did see a few rough spots around the edge, using a ruler afterwards and using a feeler gauge to check it's level was the next step but he missed that and it's crucial before the rebuild.

You can find gaskets on EBay or just have a look on google. Type in zx6r B1H gasket. 🏍️🛠️🤘

Hi I’m sorry to hear that. From the point where I got you just have to split the crankcase. I suggest to buy the Haynes Manual for the zx6r and read the subject many times over and over till you understand that. Also buy everything what ever the book suggests to rebuild the bike, and you won’t have any problems with the bike. Than it should be a straightforward job.🏍️🛠️🤘

Good banter 🤣

Trying to save you some $

Dont lube head bolts. The torque settings are for dry bolts. That creak is normal for any stretch bolt. Crack on

Just some heavy duty degreaser and the sockets are 10mm 🏍️🛠️🤘

Hey Yes, I think it can be done. But you have to have all the new parts ready to go for it. 🏍️🛠️🤘

Thanks for the tip! I’ll do that next time 🛠️🤘

That’s called dodecagon head bolt. You have to buy a special socket. Those bolts need a size 10 socket. Dodecagon socket. 🛠️🤘

your awseome bro thank you could have spent a lifetime stressing trying to figure that out... I GOT A BEARD TOO YOOOO BEARD LIFE @@zrcarbon9937

Hey I believe you have the same issue as I had. The valve stem seals are leaking through oil. I had soo much oil going into the air box the combustion chambers and the exhaust. Was burning oil but not enough to see the oil level drop dramatically. I hope this was helpful If you have any other questions just ask 🏍️🛠️🤘

Nope Not randomly

Hey What type of parts are you looking for and where about are you based? 🏍🛠🤟

Hey Yes. Everything looked really good. The bike doesn’t have a lot of mileage. 20k only The issue was the carbon built up in the chamber. I used the same pistons and rings. Probably I’ll get a full build when I reach another 40k miles. Thanks for watching 🏍️🛠️

I reused the same head bolts

No I didn’t do new cam chain. Oem parts are super expensive and I didn’t see the point to change that since had no problem with it. Thanks for watching 🛠️🤘

The cam chain will last many miles they rarely need changing on a well maintained engine.

Yer I noticed that too

I found it online. A German company was selling it. In Europ is difficult to buy any of these but the US market is loaded with aftermarket parts for zx6r. I have a few links in the description below the video.

exactly, tearing the engine apart, cleaning all the carbon, changing the valve seal and measure the valve spring but not re seat the valve... duhhhh

Hi The valve stem seals were leaking. Flooded the engine slowly with oil. The carbon built up slowly in the combustion chamber. It was a disaster. Needed a big clean 🏍️🛠️🤘

@@zrcarbon9937 interesting man cheers 👌

I’m sorry to hear that ☹️ If I understand right the bolt didn’t break. You should replace the broken cam cover. But if the bolt broke as well you have to take off the cylinder head and drop it down to the local machine shop. They will get that bolt out for you. I hope this is was helpful. 🏍️🛠️🤘

@@zrcarbon9937 yes it sure was, and yes the blot is fine just broke alittle of the cam cover

That sounds good! Never heard about that. I may have to get going a gsxr project🏍️🛠️🤘

Hey man! I am sorry to hear that. Yes most likely you have to pull the engine apart. Where the oil came out from the engine?

Yeah I didn’t lap the valves. That’s for another time
