Wow, that engine was a hand grenade with the pin pulled until you rescued it. Worked on many of these engines over the years but never seen anything as bad as that crank seal before, your reaction was very restrained imo, great work your doing with this 👍
That is interesting that the tab washers were not bent over. I too had trouble removing the five screws for the sprocket window - years ago. Someone told me it is probably the zink coating on the screws reacting with the Aluminium? I replaced with flat head hex/allen drive black oxide screws. I had my clutch off a couple of years ago & one of the places that I bought parts from told me I can reuse my lock nut, but use Red Loctite. I did not take their advice - I purchased a new lock nut from another supplier. My bike is a 1973 Tiger 750. I have owned since 1977 & it has 63,000 miles. I have never split the cases & the inner cover of the transmission has never been off. Thanks for the RUclips!
Very good procedural editing, most willing videos explaining Triumph motors ...even better than the store bought vids!!! Actually damned awesome actually. I'm gonna give my buddy Jared shit for not turning me onto your website vids!! 😂😂
A friend of mine wanted me to rebuild his TR650. He gave me the motor w/o the head, later he said, he was going to sandblast it. When he gave me the head, it was sandblasted alright, with the valves and springs still in it. It was hell getting that thing apart with the sand lodged in the guides.His brother sandblasted it and he had passed the Harley Maintence and repair school
This guy didn't seem to know how a tab washer works. I wonder what he charged. What do you think of the Lowbrow Custom 650 rebuild series with Todd? I love that guy. I've watched that series a few times...even though I haven't taken an engine apart yet. I'm preparing myself for when that day comes.
its a great series todd is a super rad guy! i tell a lot of people to watch his videos. it can be really helpful to hear things from multiple people you never know what youll learn.
do you do mail in work i need some one to grind triumph cranks i dont have the extra mony to buy grank grinder. do you have price list and mailing adress im in pa i have small shop thanks dons engines
oh man... sadly that is the case too often. because i usually do full tear down ill leave the cam gear on until cases are split then "knock" it out. not my favorite thing to say but sometimes its the only way

Some of that assembly is funny . Too many beers I fear.
“everyone wants to be your friend” 😂
18:48 that’s like playing horseshoes. “Just a little on the outside…” 😂
Great video and a lot of help to me.

WOOOF that sounds gnarly... i got some heads in the mails "ready to go" that were blasted still wet with oil... 80 grit mud
Thanks for the vid! Is it safe to sandblast the mating surfaces on the case halves and case to cylinders?

Great video. Are those covers powder coated or painted?

I've been burned by people that were supposedly pros a couple times >:(

Yes I do, i have an email link on my website richtermachining.com
Any tips for removing the exhaust cam gear that has buggered threads. Struggling to thread the puller tool on.
