  • In this video a friend sent me a couple Suzuki cylinders to inspect and correct any problems. His assessment was that one was too tight the other one too loose. Both had been bored and pistons fitted.
    His assessment was right, but only one was a problem. Follow along as I inspect and correct the issues.

    Very cool, Dale. Amazing how how are done wrong by supposed "professionals" yet yours are pretty much perfect. You seem to be the only one who chamfers correctly. Thank you as always for all your help!

      Thanks for the kind words, Jim, but my work is far from perfect. I just take my time and do the best I can. I found out many years ago if I get in a hurry, I mess stuff up. Thanks for the support.

    No British anecdotes needed on this one Dale. You are the master. Great work. Incidentally, the TS185 piston is the type I'll be using in my modified BSA D10 engine. The 65mm bore gives about 186cc swept volume.
    I can't believe I've never noticed the can of Boeshield on your bench. Always an aircraft guy at heart!
    Best wishes, Dean.

      No problem with the anecdotes Dean, just have a little trouble figuring out the meaning at times. I sure a lot of the things us yanks come up with have you wondering too. So, you are using a TS185 piston in your bike or using a Wiseco for that bike. Yes, Boeshield helps keep the rust at bay. We don't have a big problem till winter.

      @@montana2strokeracer I'll probably use a cast piston. It's a well known upgrade in trials circles, the piston requires bossing as the BSA Gudgeon Pin is a smaller diameter and squish clearance needs to be cut into the head.
      Best wishes, Dean.

    Dale , i can see at the back of the work bench the crank !!
    you must want to cut the threads after locking in the snub shaft.
    Cant wait wait till you get back to that job !! this was a good vid very accurate as well .

    • @montana2strokeracer
      @montana2strokeracer  Год назад +2

      Hi Chris, actually my plan is to cut the threads before I press it in because the splines will be too close, and they are case hardened so that would just be a disaster if I ran into them, and I don't think I could get the threads all the way up either. That is how I did the mag side also, if you haven't seen the other videos on this take a look at the playlist for the RM125 crankshaft think there are 4 videos so far. Thanks for spending time with me in the shop. Much appreciated.

      @montana2strokeracer  Год назад +2

      Hi there, I agree with you, much prefer cast, they are lighter and allow the engine to run at its peak. I really only run Wiseco when cast are no longer available. Then I appreciate having them.

      @@montana2strokeracer appreciate the knowledge. It’s hard to just pick up specialized information about bike restoration without experience. Between your videos & the dozens of old bikes I’ve wrenched on in the last year or so I’m building up my skills. The way you shoot your videos + explain everything really makes learning easy. I used to get really frustrated when my stuff broke or I couldn’t repair it. Now I look at it as a challenge because I know what’s possible. Some of the people I buy the bikes from up here know about the channel. You are kinda getting famous from it.
