    NOTICE: Spray Nozzle Orientation.
    This just a note for anyone who runs at a rebuild with excitement and could miss this one small important orientation.
    It might be obvious to most viewers but just in case:
    That spray nozzle (5.39 in this video) must be oriented so it's hole matches its crankcase hole brother;
    which you can see looking inside the tube in the crankcase where the spray nozzle goes.
    Also which might be obvious: Passage clearance of this nozzle.
    Properly best to ultrasonic clean (or similar solvent soak / clean / air blast) this nozzle to ensure its passage for oil is clear and good. Wear the safety glasses guys (and gal).
    The actual spay hole is not large.
    And Primary chains are expensive enough and replacement not a stamp lick as we can see.
    Great video.

    Thank god some one else uses 100% mineral oil for proper break in. I’ve had arguments with qualified engine builders about this and can’t believe anyone would use synthetic oil to bed the rings. Awesome you have a new subscription

    • @Mezzmoengineering
      @Mezzmoengineering  Год назад

      Thanks mate, yep, mineral oil allows a bit more friction to allow the rings to bed in properly. Synthetic is the go once its all run in.....

    Hey Mezzmo, this is the best engine video around and has helped me tremendously. One error though, the seal on the trans countershaft bearing should face inwards. This bearing receives pressurized lube via the bearing retainer cover from the outside. With the seal facing out, it only will receive splash lube from the gear side.

    • @Mezzmoengineering
      @Mezzmoengineering  2 месяца назад +1

      @@lukeperhaps2734 Thanks mate, glad you liked it. Interesting about the bearing, I thought the same however it was that way originally from the factory. See it in the pull down video. I figured it was fine after 100k so decided to put it back the same way. Really not sure why they bothered even putting a seal on one side

    • @lukeperhaps2734
      @lukeperhaps2734 2 месяца назад +1

      ​@@MezzmoengineeringYep looks like the factory must have got it backwards. I think the reason for the seal is to add a little back pressure as the same lube oil is diverted into the hollow gearshaft to lube all its bits also. Your entire series on this bike is top notch.

      Both of you are inspirations. If my engine turns out half as nice.....! I used an xv1100 swing arm to mount the xj900 rear rim. The bike is an xj650 with the R1 front so the 900 rear gives me an almost matching 3 spoke and the 1100 swing gives me just a little longer wheel base. This did take some careful grinding. I read the xj700 non X cams are the most aggressive I will try these eventually but I have learned so much from this I am grateful for that. Thank you Mezzmo thank you Jish awesome job! XJBIKES!!!

    Spray Nozzle Update:
    Just noticed a pic of a new primary chain spray nozzle shows a location pin extruding from the head.
    This must be what locates in the slot that's in the opening of the crankcase where the nozzle goes.
    I reckon without this, a nozzle can vibrate over time to an off-location. Reducing or fully negating its operational function.
    Something to consider if you are re-building with a re-use nozzle.

    • @Mezzmoengineering
      @Mezzmoengineering  4 года назад

    Love the video, super informative. I've got an '82 XJ650 myself as a project. I have two questions that i'm hoping you can answer or help me with.
    1. Where do you get all your parts, especially engine parts like seals and gaskets? I'm having real trouble finding places that still stock parts.
    2. I tried cranking the engine by hand to make sure it wasn't seized and I can only get about 1/2 turn before it stops and wont turn any further. Can't see anything under rocker cover so it looks like i'm going to have to take the cylinder head off to inspect the valves. Should i be replacing the gasket/o rings after that? Can you think of any reason that I wouldn't be able to crank the engine all the way other a piston hitting a valve?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    • @Mezzmoengineering
      @Mezzmoengineering  Год назад

      Hi Jake, parts are hard to find. I got a few bits from private sellers on ebay as well as some new gear directly from Yamaha. Your Yamaha dealer should be able to get most of the seals and gaskets. The engine not turning could be a number of things. First to turn it by hand you should remove the spark plugs so there's no compression. If its still hard to turn it could be timing way out or possibly something gone wrong in the transmission. If you cant turn by hand with its plugs out then its probably best to pull it down to check the problem. Take cam cover off first to check inside there, eg timing marks. Then you could remove the sump to see what's there and if any loose bit are there which could indicate a damaged primary chain guide...

I have the opportunity because the bike jammed in second gear on my test ride, and the motor is on the bench again. When I split the cases the lower casing gear shaft was solid. I couldn`t get the selector fork shaft out, as the fork that sits in 5th gear was jammed, I had to tap the bearing out from the inside with a thin drift, I just can`t figure what went wrong

Not sure who sells them now. I haven't had any experience with other motorbike big bore kits. I have done a big bore on my celica too but used Wiseco pistons. Without knowing the brand I'd suggest searching for reviews. Most pistons are fine. If your concerned you can balance them, check my early video on engine balancing on my celica build from around 5 years ago as it shows exactly how to do it.

With cams in, install chain, rotate to check timing is correct and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.

      Hi mate, Sure. All you need to do is buy a XJ750 tensioner, remove the centre bolt so you can push the pin right back. Bolt to barrels first, then install spring and tighten nut. Like I did in the video and it will self adjust. The old one can just be taken out and swap straight over. The main thing is installing the new one with the pin pushed in and you can only do that with the bolt and spring removed.

      Hi mate. Buy yourself a bolt thats 16mm X 1.5mm pitch thread with at lease 50mm of thread. Once you remove the centre bolt you will see another thread inside there for this 16mm bolt. Insert a metal rod around 8mm diameter into the hole so it pushes on the end inside the hole, then screw in the 16mm bolt and it will come right off. The inner rod needs to be around 40 to 50mm long. Let me know how you go...

    hi, wind blew down my same model motorcycle on it side oil petrol and baterry fluid leaked out. But i still have same level of oil and cant seem to find spot where it leaked out could u advice? and is there a chance that oil will stay and hidrolock engine?

    • @Mezzmoengineering

      Oil might be from your rear wheel drive unit...Engine won't lock due to oil as it can't get past the piston rings. Locking will be if fuel gets through carbs into top compression area.

      Hi again, the main o-ring is where I show in the video from the oil gallery. There are others but from memory I don’t think they are on every pin. They are where the oil feeds are. One of these feeds is for the cams. Best way to see is closely check all the pins to see if there’s a small space machined in the casing. If there’s a small chamfer then it needs an o-ring, if it’s machine completely square then there will be no O-ring. Hope this helps

      @Mezzmoengineering  4 года назад +1

      Hi Mate, inches or imperial are measured in thousands and metric is measured in hundredths. I think you will find the ebay ones might be just metric which is fine. If imperial it needs to be in thousands. Mine have both markings, Eg in the video you see 0.011 thousands of an inch, which is 0.279mm. The backlash needs to be between 0.004 - 0.008 inches or 0.1-0.2mm. There are 40 thousands of an inch to every millimetre. So measuring hundredths of mm's is actually more accurate than thousands of an inch.
