Thanks, buddy, I sure appreciate the kind words. You are doing great work on your channel. That new one you're working on was in ruff shape. Bringing her back!
Great video, Dale! Learned a lot. Every crank video I learn a little more. Had no idea you trued your centering piece with every use. This crank has the least runout I've ever seen!
Great video! I have a KTM 300 EXC, I could feel the difference when I fitted a crank that was trued up better than the crank that came out of it, it just makes the engine feel a whole lot 'nicer'
The right fit through your patience, knowledge works out perfectly for their is no substitute for the work my dear friend and veteran brother does. I congratulate you once again Sir. Wishing you a great weekend - God blessed you for He gave you a kind heart and a bright mind. !!
Good afternoon Dale. I got the 75 RL250 cleaned up and running. Everything is in pretty good shape and the road test was real fun. That thing has alot of torque!
Great technical video Dale. Been busy here with our MX project, finally put the finishing touches on all and after more than 3 years finished it. Unfortunately it was a no start. Little bit deflating for us; back to the drawing board but eventually we’ll get it. Keep up the great work taking us down the bike building road with you!
Thanks Kerry, man these projects don't always go as planned, changing directions is a common thing around my shop. It's all for the fun of it anyways. Just enjoy the process.
Good video again. I like to get the magneto side at zero, if poss., when there is some 'out of true' because it won't be amplified by the (relatively) heavy magneto flywheel. A thou' or two on the drive side doesn't bother the smoothness as much = less inertia.
I laughed where a random part was heard bouncing on the floor while you were pressing and you said, " I don't think that was anything we needed". 6:12 Less truer words were never spoken in a shop. Lol. But take solace in knowing it bounced into that shop black hole where everything escapes when you don't see where it lands.
True Enzo, it really was just a push pin. I will probably forget that its back there until I need it again. The black hole is all over the shop floor. Lots of stuff disappear in there. LOL
😊Good morning Dale. After finishing up with the TS400 engine, I feel a little more comfortable about working on some other spare engines that I have. Thanks for everything. Have a great weekend. Very nice work!
I attribute any success to your videos and how we were trained in the military, Watch one, Do one and Teach one. When it comes to teaching one, I have to refer your videos to others. Keep up the great work!
Yeah, that was a tight one! Dale, what are the dimensions of your cross bars on the press, and where did you source them?? Still waiting on an AT1MX test ride! Glad you painted it red!! Looks great! Robert & Sofia
Hey Robert, hope all is well. I just went to my local steel supplier and ask them to cut them from flat bar. They flame cut them but with a machine, so they were very nicely done. I trued them up on my milling machine. They measure 16 x 3 x 1.5 inches.

That was a great two-parter Dale. No-one could present a better crankshaft rebuild tutorial than that.
Cheers, Peter.
Thanks for the kind words, Peter, I just feel that a lot of the folks that need this done, could do it themselves.
Great series Dale. Anyone wishing to learn how to strip, build and set a crank could do no better than to watch your videos.
Best wishes, Dean.

@@montana2strokeracer you are always welcome Dale. Thanks for the support.
Total coverage of a crank rebuild. You make it look easy Dale. Damn near perfectly true.
Hey Doug, yes, this one did real well, not always the case though.
GM Dale
Here with coffee at 5 am learning from you doing the crank.
Learning a lot thanks Dale
Rock on! Thanks Mark.
Excellent in depth two-parter on that crank build Dale. Enjoyed watching the process. Greetings from the Isle of Wight, UK.
Thank you, Darren, nice to see more folks from the UK. Thanks for hanging out with me in the shop.
Great video, Dale! Learned a lot. Every crank video I learn a little more. Had no idea you trued your centering piece with every use. This crank has the least runout I've ever seen!
This one did really well, not always are they that good, that quick. Guess I'm practiced up.....done a lot of cranks in the last few months.
@@montana2strokeracer A few? You are becoming quite the crank guru!! Learned way, way more than I ever thought I would.

Hey Dave, that's great those RL's are fun to ride, I could wheelie that thing plum into next week.

Thanks Mike, I couldn't remember the song or who did it, but it sure was appropriate for the job at hand.

Tank's again 😉😉😉😉
Well done.

I reckon it'll be a smooth revver now.
It should be Chris, thanks for hanging out with me in the shop!
all sounds good Dale, thanks ,hearing in one ear isnt fun.
I was aware of it, think it was a patch cable. Replaced it for part 2.
Here
crankshafts are above my pay grade. I can enjoy fixing many things on my bikes, but not crankshafts.
Not a bad job Steve, I'm positive you can get it done.
I'm watching casually here after a tired day with electronics repair.
I get it Dean, electronics hurt my brain.
