So this time as promised its time to start tearing apart the engine to see what we are dealing with, This episode is a bit shorter than i'd like but still covers alot of ground, I was planning on getting the engine fully rebuilt and put back in place but decided to split it into 2 episodes to decrease the wait time between updates.
Enjoy.

I was AMAZED at how effective the two solvant based cleaning liquids were. You are probably the most tidy & organised mechanic I have ever seen. My Tasmanian friend and I have stripped and fixed Laths, Bridgeport Mills and many other lumps of metal disaster several times. It always looks like an explosion in a scrap yard. I'm bloody envious to be honest.

@RRCRestoration 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much, I used to be the exact same bits everywhere lol but I was forever loosing parts so i forced myself to be a bit more organized, It took a while but now its second nature and drives everyone around me nuts when they need to work with me as I'm forever organizing parts lol.

@CraftwerksMC 9 месяцев назад

@RRCRestoration Your rebuilds are incredible and I was hoping you could mention what the product name or chemical is that you said you used in both cases to presoak and break down the grease. It seems to work well with limited amount of pressure and heat so was hoping you could share. I also very much like the process you used for restoring the white plastic for reservoirs. I have some coolant bottles on a NT650 (cousin of the VFR) that I want to attempt this process on. Thanks so much for you video's/

@RRCRestoration 10 месяцев назад

Tbh i was planning for this episode to be about an hour long but decided to break it into 2 parts as it was going to take too long to get all the parts here, machined, filmed and edited so i had to take the decision to split it just to keep the gap between uploads to a minimum.

I am 61 years old now, but in my teens I owned 4 Honda motorcycles, dirt bikes, my first was a 1978 Elsinore 125cc, a couples years later a 1981 125cc Honda CR, boy what an upgrade on suspension. Every 3 years or so I would sell and upgrade. My next bike was a 1985 CR 250, man was that thing fast, I kept it for about 5 years, the last one I bought was a 1991 CR 250, you want to talk about travel in a suspension, and it was fast, I kept it a few years and a couple bad spills and I called it quits dirt biking, I sold it and got into cars. But I gotta say , they make excellent bikes and a lot of other stuff. I can`t remeber how many times I fell of those bikes, jumped to my feet and the bike was still running and I took off again, I was a huge fan of thier dirt bikes, you are doing amazing work on this bike I gotta tell you.

@daveflave8969 5 месяцев назад

I love all you videos but this one in particular has been so useful to me! I checked the coolant passages of my RVF400 after seeing the calcification inside your engine. Lo and behold my engine is similar, not as bad, but enough to affect the coolant flow. The past week I have been using this video as my guide to stripping the engine down. I don't think I would have had the confidence do tackle a job like this without watching your video. Thank you so much!

Had one of these as my first bike in 1991. Loving watching you take this down - Honda’s engineering is legendary and seeing the condition of the internals on this proves it. Cracking work fella and loved every video so far - takes me back to mine. Only issue I ever had was seized front brake callipers and keeping the bloody white wheels clean 😂

@RRCRestoration 10 месяцев назад

Nice, I bet it was amazing having one of these new in the 90's the fun you must've had before cameras and speed traps took over the land ;) lol I know what you mean about the wheels, this one isn't even on the road and I find myself cleaning the wheels down all the time... bloody dust magnets haha

@pwalopwaloson9009 10 месяцев назад

It’s was an absolute gem of a bike - gearing was a bit painful- super tall 1st like the RC30 - I think it did 70mph in 1st but the sound of the whining cam drive and the resonance through the fuel tank was like no other bike I’ve had since. You are gonna love. Plugs are a weird size and only shared with the RC30 and a nightmare to change bank 2! What’s your background as you seem to have a super broad skillset - also what’s the plan with the paint? Mine was the early red white blue RC30 scheme and I don’t think they bettered it!

@@pwalopwaloson9009 I had it's stablemate the CBR400RR in 1990, apparently one of the 1st in the country. Amazing little bikes that everyone raved over, I went on to have a further 3, I loved them so much 😀. I did try a VFR at a race school but they rev-limited them so I wasn't too impressed.

@michaelmathews295 10 месяцев назад

I pretty sure that a lot of racing associations require straight water only on their tracks for sanctioned events.

@RRCRestoration 10 месяцев назад

It really is but i got a comment earlier that seems to make alot of sense just like @michaelmathews295 said too maybe the bike has a racing history so pure water and frequent oil changes would certainly make sense so im going to make a point of sitting down and digging through its history to see what i can find out about it fingers crossed it has a cool history of racing and not just been abused as a track bike lol. Im really glad you like the little drive in the scooby, love that car :)

@frankensteinsgarage9632 10 месяцев назад

@RRCRestoration ahh yes that makes sense. I did a brief stint of road racing years ago and I used to re fill the bike with coolant after the race weekend. Then had to flush it with water when I went racing. I'm pretty particular about my bikes though haha.

@robertschweikl8827 10 месяцев назад

pro tip on your oil journals on the crank itself get the jounal/holes radius drilled/machined to allow oil to flow underneath the shell bearings for your conrods as these bikes were prone for spinning big end bearings as the journal/ holes when drilled at manufacturing still had slight rough or lipped edges, then get your crank linished polished

@AcidVFR400R 10 месяцев назад

You must shim back up the cam gear the same amount that you removed from the head when shimming, its super important as you will greatly increase wear on the gears and start finding metal in the oil as the gears now with the wrong amount of back lash eat each other. it will also sound alot louder. THIS is super important !!! Now would be a good time to also check the valves clearance also, once you refit the cams.

Love it! When I saw that shiny coolant pipe in between the V it looked exactly like the VF-500F2 engine I rebuilt many years ago. The previous owner had let an oil leak dry it out and the big end bearing shells had picked up on the crank journals. That was an EPIC rebuild. Wish I'd had that lovely gear-driven cam train though, the chains on the VF series were a bit of a pain. And the less said about camshafts made of butter the better we'll all sleep. Keep it going... love the editing and the sharpshooter degreaser made me choke on my brew.

I know you are probably aware of this but you have VERY limited leeway when skimming the heads. I have not done it on a NC30 VFR400R but I have done it on my RC30 VFR750R and it requires much calculation. On the RC30 engine, the camshafts run in separate forgings to the head castings and can be shimmed for clearance as can the gear drive cassettes. ( One modification is to remove the spring loaded backlash gears to get 20 microns backlash running clearance on the crankshaft, camshaft and cassette pinions. Noisy and not recommended for a street engine ). If the clearance is too small between the gear teeth it can cause stress not only on the drive gears of the cassettes but also the gear on the crankshaft, perhaps stressing the main bearing shells as well on the camshaft bearing caps and heads. The backlash pinions and springs do allow a certain amount of material to be taken off. Unfortunately I don't know the amount for the 400 engine but I doubt if it is more than a couple of 100 ths of a millimeter.

@RRCRestoration 10 месяцев назад

You really know your stuff and thank you so much for leaving all that great info for me. I did a bit of research and did find out there is very very little wiggle room when skimming so the machine shop has been told to only take the bare minimum and even then think twice about how much they are taking off lol as i really don't want to end up in a world that hurts.

Amazed at how clean the internals are. Always a treat to watch your clips, even if they have to come in small portions sometimes. Nice seeing the Subies too :) keep up the good work, cheers!
