8:25 pretty brutal driving them bearings in with the inner race!
I feel ya! However, I have always used quality bearings and built more than I can count of the engines with zero issues. Always heat the cases and freeze the bearings and they drop right in with little resistance!
Brutal intro,that hit the spot
Glad you liked it!
I'm digging the whole rebuild series on this bike. Great job.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video series. I'm tearing down a 69 unit and the info you've presented here is priceless.
Right on! Have fun on the project! Let me know if you have any questions! You can email me at weemsmotorco@yahoo.com
It's been decades isnce I had a pre unit. Love watching everything coming together
Glad you are enjoying it!
Morning Afternoon Night Everyone
Good afternoon ☕️
All that!
This build is awesome! Thanks for sharing
Glad you like it!
Love watching your channel uncle Weems.. dont ever lose the enthusiasm..
Much Love..
Thanks! I will keep trying to bring the fun!
@@weemsmotorco and that you do, uncle Jared.. I started really taking a liking to triumph motorcycles cos of your channel.. I dont have a favourite brand of bike cos to me anything with an engine powering two wheels is a bike.. but since watching you, I started taking note of how easy they are to fix and chop.. simplicity and ingenuity at it's best.. just a pity they're so scarce here where I am..
I’m enjoying the Judge build series!
Thanks, Us too!
I'm really enjoying this project. Thanks! When it's all done I'll go back and watch them all again, in order.
Super Cool!
Not that I'm ever going to try this, but it sure is interesting to watch you - a master - do it.
Watching you work is ten times more interesting than watching others just ride around and jack their jaws.
Thanks, Jared.
Thanks Eric....although I sometimes ride around and jack my jaws....LOL!
Great video! Always love watching you do your magic! You can probably put a motor together with your eyes closed. I'm still patiently waiting for you riding The Judge down the road! Keep wrenching and riding and stay safe!
Coming soon! I promise!
I love the project. Never worked on that age Triumph, but its cool to see how it all works.
Glad you are digging it!
It's coming together, looking good 👍👍👍
Sure is and Thanks!
I watched the Lowbrow Triumph rebuild series. Even if you're not doing a rebuild, it's worth a watch. Todd is very entertaining as he goes along, and I learned some new words too. "Chinga" is one.... 🙂 I had to look that up, because it seemed to apply to almost anything.
Definitely worth watching if you're interested in this stuff. I haven't had to rebuild an engine yet, but if I need to learn how to take the rotor and stator off my 650, or put in a new clutch, I can watch parts of that series and see how it comes apart and goes back together. Plus it's just good to know how your engine works by knowing exactly what's inside of it. I feel like I could do a top end when the times comes... or maybe even a full rebuild if I take my time.
You got that right DAVE!
Absolutely a great How To!
Well it's Tuesday morning , watched the video , build is coming along nicely 👌, what more can I say 👍.
See you later Jared.
Peace out ✌️
Right on! Glad you are enjoying it!
Its shows professional attitude to clean the trap. A friend was moving and offered me his 68 lightning for $500,+ a parts bike. He said it was rebuilt,but it turned out he top-ended it. It stalled in traffic, hot as hell. Glad i stopped right there. No rods through case action. ALWAYS clear the trap.
Oh Man! A BSA doesn't have roller bearings on the crank, they use a bushing!
Yes, as did my 1960 Tiger. Not a fan of bushings.
Nicely done,sir.showing a case up rebuild Is like when a city kid sees where milk and eggs come from. LOL. Love the content. Bringing it back to life is 😎 awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it
I live in the Tropics of North Queensland, Australia. In my Trumpy, I use Castrol GP50 monograde in the motor & BP 85W/140 in the gearbox.
Very similar to what we use!
I had a 1966 triumph trophy 500 and never knew it was 360 degree crank shaft amazing what I learn on your channel or amazing what I don't know !!
Very cool!
Nice Job!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Fun to watch... :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s interesting to see the bearings being driven in. Do you have to measure id of the rods with the bearings in relation to the id of the crankshaft journals?
Yes. You have to ensure that the journal measurements align with the shell bearings.
How to or not. I like these build series.
Thanks Friend!
I think it looks great. But since you got all the way down and did all that great work. Id powder coat the frame. It’s a sin there’s not too many preunits around. Id try to restore and make it look like the Judge had it when it was built.
Gotta Keep the Patina! I could always build another!!!
Very Nice Hobby just like Pacific Mike’s on RUclips channel 👍
Mike is awesome!
The more pre-unit Triumphs on the road the better.
You Know It!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Dave you are the man!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thanks Fritz!
Can't wait for the next video- Lefty
Coming Soon!
I'm all new for the most part but didn't think of freezing parts. If I need extra help I'll bring some of those popsicles. ✌️
YES!!!!
When my 650 TRI had to have the cases split to replace the camshafts. The sludge trap was almost full.A new one replaced it. I cleaned those cases till you could eat off them . Cams lasted 50 yrs. My 1965 almost as old as me.
So Cool!
What type of gasket compound do you use on the case halves? Assuming no gaskets are used on those.
No Gaskets. I use Motoseal Gasket Maker
Awesome video. Do you use engine oil on the cam lobes? The Honda 305 uses roller cam bearings and I am reusing the cams
Yes I do!
Great videos on the rebuild thankyou, couple of questions please, on the left hand side of the crankshaft case outside is there a oil seal! When drifting in the crakshaft bearings do they go in pretty easy, couldnt make out your drift tool was it drifting on the outer race, I doing a similar project on a 59 pre unit thanks for the tips 👍
There is a crankshaft seal there. Part Number 70-2790. When you heat the cases and freeze the bearing they do go in very easily. My drift tool doesn't go to the outer race. It is best practice to drift using the outer race. However, I have built more than I can remember of these engines and never had an issue. Always use top quality bearings!
Looks to my very amateur eyes like a 360 degree crank, are you intending to run 360 or as 0 degree? Loving the content
Great Eye!! It is 360. There is a really cool hot rod option with a 270 but you need different cams and ignition to run it.
Plz talk us through 360 and 0 crank . Not a tutorial but an over view. You have a very accessible presentation style. Love the channel
didnt realize you had to split the cases to change the cams.
Yup, it's just another part of the job!
Nice job.
I just rebuilt the ugliest Ebay find Triumph engine ever. They claimed it was a '64. After getting a bunch of parts, that didn't fit, I found it's a '72. Replacement cases with the wrong numbers stamped on it. Ugh.
Been There Done That! After a few you will be able to tell the fine changes between years!
👋👋😎🇺🇸🇺🇸
Right On Flip!
hi, Jared. What gasket compound did you use? THREEBOND 1184? thanks and keep up with great work!
I use Motoseal Gasket Maker
and are you using lock tighr on the case bolts?
Nope
Did your engine come with the one piece crank or the three piece crank with babbit rods?
One piece as the engine is a 1959.

What is that music in the background it is banging
Thanks! It is from Epidemic Sound.
"Oil breaks down viscosity with temperature" What??
That is quinticential Weemsplaining.
Yup, Yup! Check out this article: www.shell.us/business-customers/lubricants-for-business/industry-articles/the-effect-of-temperature-on-lubricant-viscosity.html#:~:text=A%20lubricant's%20viscosity%20will%20change,viscosity%20state%20at%20varying%20temperatures.
