- In this video we dive deeper in this 1979 Honda XL185s when we rip out the motor from the frame and start to tear down the motor. It's bad...
but it could always be worse!
Enjoy!

I have a 185s too. Nice little bike. Starts first kick every time. Just bought a brand new OEM tank and seat from Japan.
The hammer is a rawhide mallet, great non-marring mallet. They are still available.
Like I said elsewhere, no other channel will I watch the whole adventure. I used to do these type of tear downs on mowers and go karts, so this is just fascinating to me. Life right now doesn’t allow much more than routine maintenance for me so watching this is great. Take care!
Can't wait to see that crank. I never would have guessed the cylinder would have that much crud in it. Great vid.
It's fun waisting time on bikes and learning with you. Thanks Cody
The SLs are great, I had friends that had a 175, 250, and a 350 twin in the 1980s, fun times.👍
I didn’t see a clear view but that hammer may be rolled rawhide. My father had one. I think possibly for thin metal forming.
The degree of mechanical ingenuity that this man posseses is dynamic. Everytime I watch a video I pick up tips and techniques I would never think of. So helpful.
That’s a really nice thing to say man. Means a lot. Glad you find the content helpful 🤙🏻
Holy Cow! I have never seen anything quite like that before inside an engine ... LOL! That was absolutely incredible, thanks for bringing us along and definitely enjoying this series!
😳Right?! Me neither!
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Man Honda used quality materials and excellent production workmanship. To have such abuse by sinking in water with total neglect for extended time and still have such nearly new condition components to work with .
Rawhide hammer 🔨. Another masterpiece 👍
I never would have thought rawhide but that’s exactly what it looks like now that I think about it!
@@TheMotorcycleMD Your dog might like chewing on it.
Keep sending those priceless valuable lessons Cody, you're the man!!!
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
OH DEAR GAWD!!! THAT was absolutely FILTHY inside of that cylinder!!! I do NOT EVEN WANNA KNOW how all that WATER got to be INSIDE of that cylinder!?!?! However,on the PLUS SIDE...............I DEFINITELY enjoyed watching You take apart this engine!!! And I ALSO LOVE your dog howling with You,at the sirens going by!!! LOL. THAT was worth watching this video right there!!! Lol. Cannot WAIT to see the NEXT video You have in store for us next week!!! Great Job Cody!!!
Brilliant as usual Cody. How on earth did so much shit get into the cylinder. I've never seen anything like it - ever!!
Thanks Cody, great video of the ugly that can happen to an engine. My guess is that it went into a creek and sucked water and the cylinder was at the low point, that is why so much crap on top. I worked on foreign cars for many years and loved tearing broken things apart. You learn a lot about the reasons for failures. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Tearing stuff apart is always the funnest part to me!
I had a phrase I used when tearing things apart that were not going to be reassembled. "Education through destruction"".
11:50 Not positive (it's hard to get a good look) but that hammer looks like a leather hammer I used to own in the mid-'80s. Tightly rolled rawhide, it's harder than rubber, with less bounce...but still a soft-ish face so you don't leave dents. It also has less weight than rubber or lead, so it hits more gently.
Love your videos! I really enjoy the content you make. I can honestly say your content has helped me at one point or another. Thank you for sharing brutha!!
Thanks for hanging out man!
The head of these engines are the Achilles heal. They lack a oil filter, only have a screen, so if you run it on dirty oil, and especially low oil, the worn metal gets injected directly between the aluminum journal and the steel cam shaft.
And obviously the aluminum journal is what fares worse, and that will make the head useless. So the head is expensive, and you'll find bottom ends cheap.
I just had this play out on my first motorcycle, it ran fine, but after I loosened the valves to spec, the slop from this wear drove home the point these are also interference engines too. Despite this, mine still ran, but I decided to part it out. In fairness to my motor, the guy that found it ran it with low oil.
Great information! Some motors are definitely more forgiving!
In 30 years I never saw that in a car or bike yeah. Peace ✌️
I'd have scrapped the engine. Hope to see you get it sorted.and might save me from scrapping an engine in the future.
Awesome tear-down, thanks!
Looks expensive 🧐
It will buff out 😂
Love your channel I’m an old man now had a cb 350 Honda back in 76 to 79 any way love your channel keep up the good work !!! Have a question on the vacuum control shut off valve on say the 1997 to 2000 Honda Valkyrie vacuum control valve when you turn the valve to reserve does it flow fuel without the vacuum?
Simple green works the best with a nylon brush on your bikes
There are way better chemicals than simple green trust me!
I think she got submerged, it stopped, and was put away.
Possibly! I would think we would be dealing with. Locked crank in that matter too. But it was surprisingly free!
That's the worst water army I've seen in a cylinder. 😢
How can people let things get this bad. If it was a freebie at least you have the skill to fix it. Yes it's a full resto but done properly it will be a nice little runabout for you and will serve many yrs if maintained.
my man!
I just bought a 2023 Honda CB500x. Anything I need to be mindful of ? Brand new motorcycle rider, been an ATV rider for years tho. Definitely a different animal.
Cody the hammer head is made of rawhide and is most likely a machineist hammer
How to synchronize the cb350f ?
2 awesome
Do you use Jis screwdrivers or fillips on the screws?
Always JIS
@@TheMotorcycleMD I bought myself a set of JIS too,after trying to undo carb. float bowl screws with a regular phillips head. NEVER AGAIN!!!
Rawhide hammer ?
Wow
👍🏻
Thats the worst I've ever seen, NASTY!
Looks like a failed creek crossing, sucked water, stopped, and was parked till now.
That bike was dumped in a creek or mud hole.
👍😎👍
Just needs a hone and send it 😂
Hone, lap, BRAAP!!
yuck is an understatement!!!!!
😂
hmm theres your problem.....lol
thanks for doing a great video! better than Gone With the Wind any day!
