    Greg, you do a great job with all your videos.I am almost 63 years old,and have worked on Karts since I was 9 years old, and only had older guys with little patience for kids to show me anything on "How to". These fault finders commenting are silly as all get out.There is so much knowledge online! They have no idea how lucky they are that people like you take the time to show them anything! I progressed to building dirt track late models, and now make parts for the Nascar world. I watched your video on the billet flywheel, cam , valve springs, and Mikuni VM-22 for guidance to build a Predator Hemi for my 8 year old Grand Daughters Jr. dragster. It ran almost dead on her required 11.90 index, her first ever pass down the track,on gasoline. Engine builders are charging $2000 for an alcohol engine to do that! A little jet and gearing tweaking and I think it could run low 10s ( when she has more seat time!). Keep up the good work! Proverbs 1:7

      It's a YT thing. Apparently the swarm of anonymous accounts who are "expert engine builders" with 35+ yrs experience telling him how he's doing things wrong, yet they themselves have not even tried to help anyone out with their alleged treasure-trove of knowledge. This would have been fun to have when I was a kid, but now I'll just have to wait until I have a kid of my own to play with this stuff.

      What does that have to do with anything? A bike with one of these engines and a six speed would work great (just like what was said above about the chopper build). I saw that build too, it was awesome. They took that bike on a very long ride with no problems and plenty of power and speed. If you're saying it doesn't need it because it has plenty of hp, look what's usually mated to the trans. And how? " One way is an open Belt Drive w/ Ball Bearing Lock-Up Clutch. Or just a regular primary. Not sure why it hasn't been done yet on one of these building videos. Would make a badass little street legal everyday rider. To each their own though, just my two cents.

No needless chatter or comments just precise instructions. Perfect. I wish others would follow your lead on editing and finishing their videos.

    Excellent presentation video! What size throats on the carburator? I was able to adapt the 990cc 61" Briggs carb with 30mm throats to fit to the 38" model with high altitude jets and that gave a useful extra power gain. Very impressed with the throttle lever adaptor method, also looks like you can mill out the dead weights inside the flywheel to keep the generator but lighten the flywheel, I used a circular milling table and paid cash at a local machine shop, had to make a dummy long shaft to mount the flywheel on, so it could be re-balanced in a car crank balancing machine. Long pipes also help, the tuned length of the Briggs version was around 38", siamesed to use a single silencer box.

    I like the video, I will use the built engine on a slightly "different buggy", a part 103 legal ultralight aircraft. There are a few differences, due to the need to have the ability to match fuel air mixture for the altitude I'm flying at, also the prop will be in the "front" of the engine. Thank you for letting what I'm going to see when I disassemble the engine. BTW, there are a bunch of us Ultralight pilot's that are flying this engine on our Ultralight's, it is a LOT more reliable.

      Stock flywheel are always good to reuse because of the ability to keep the electric start system and also the capability to change the battery which is good thing if you plan on using any kind of lights on the vehicle or motorcycle you’re building the engine for and further more a billet aluminum flywheel that is capable of handling a electric start system won’t hold up very long and you would have to add a pull start system at some point unless you want to have to keep replacing the billet aluminum flywheels because of teeth wearing out because of the starter which will cost you a lot of money in the long run.

The oils from the human skin can cause bearing failures.... I did like his improved techniques of removing the flywheel... The use of a puller toll , will prevent damage to the main ball-bearings of the crankshaft... Much better , than his earlier videos of using a hammer and smacking the crankshaft!!!

    Don't mean to sound critical but I'd spent a good many years machining and building street/ strip engines for 4 current/former professional drag racers and I have to say ANY machining, drilling, tapping, grinding, etc....should ALWAYS be done and then the engine block must be meticulously cleaned before ANY assembly work !

    • @patrioticbastard5935
      @patrioticbastard5935 5 лет назад

      I was thinking the same thing. No plasti gauge on the rod? No milling the heads? No decking the block? Stock crankshaft? This wasn't really an engine build so much as a valve train upgrade, but still using stock valves with no porting done? and you noticed as I did.. What engine builder worth his wrenches (1) uses an air tool inside the engine with the crank still in there.. (2) does any drilling or tapping with ANY parts still inside the case? I am sure they can and do , do better work. But don't advertise as an ENGINE BUILD if you aren't building an engine. What they've done here is ensure the valves don't float before the stock bottom end lets go....
