Wasn't uncommon at all to do this type of work after the season. Grew lots, turned to basketball which paid for school, now I'm a web dev. Your channel has inspired me to start looking for a bike and get back to enjoying what I always loved doing most - ridin dirty! Keep up the good work my friend, it's well received.

Good job you checked the shaft end plays. Another tip, take pics during dis-assembly so you have a reference to look at putting it back together. Take gears off the shafts and lay them in a line as they come apart, like the parts diagram exploded view, and take a pic of them. If you loose a part during cleaning it'll be apparent when you look back at the images.

I'm relieved to see you're using the oven for the casings. And yes you need to drop the bearing in the second you get it out of the oven or what happened there with the bearing sticking out will happen. By the time you pick up the can of cooling spray and use it that cases will have cooled too much, it should be fine without the spray so long as you don't hesitate putting the bearings in.

You do good work dude. Very meticulous. Great attention to detail. This engine will be way better than when it left the factory for sure. One thing I do is locate the gasket with the case bolts. Often it's not necessary, but on those few occasions when the gasket isn't a perfect fit, this helps avoid the bolts catching as you fit them blind later. I've known a gasket to get pulled out of position and then break at that point.

When rebuilding transmissions it is very important to know that the thrust washers have a barely noticeable chamfered edge on just one side. Same with the spline washers and circlips that go on the shafts. The chamfered edge always faces towards the thrust load side of the gear or bushing. If installed incorreclty it will still seem to shift smooth and mesh correctly, but it could eventually cause premature failure or overheating of the components and anything they come in contact with. Nice build! I really like that engine stand!

Rebuilding an XR 200 a few years ago I followed the book and was determined to get a click-click out of the engine.....new crank/piston/etc and on break-in I still had the clicking.......ran the gap on the rockers several times and still had the click. The engine had never been apart before and buttoned up nice. To make a long story short...it had come from the factory lacking a thrust washer on the end of the rocker shaft. For 73 cents I got a new one from Honda and the click went away. Crazy things happen!

Lol. I had a lot of trouble telling which washer went where when I did a similar rebuild on a CM250c. None of the manuals were clear on which washers went where, and if you swap any of them you will end up with problems. Everything is done to spec on those engines, so when you take them apart use calipers to measure washer thickness and record where it came from. That way if you mix them up or lose them you can easily get it sorted out. Nice rebuild setup you have there. Very clean.

Hi Cameron, great video. Just a few points. I would not be too worried about localised heating of case before fitting crank. Aluminium soaks up heat very quickly & dissipates throughout the case with no obvious warping issues. Also when the engine is started it warms up unevenly anyway without any warping issues. I have found that more often than not, that cranks are a tighter fit in the LH case than in the RH. So I usually pull the crank into the LH case first & assemble everything in the LH case, then the RH case usually just slides on. Some cranks are a tight fit in both bearings, so in that case it does not matter which side you assemble in, but I will heat up the entire opposite case so you have more time to slide it on before it cools. Heating up the inner race only as you have discovered does not work well. Don't worry about the heat damaging the seals as they can handle a bit of heat, as long as you do not direct a gas flame or heat gun directly at the seals.

I know what your going through first hand. My 2002 Xr650r was actually missing a few thrust washers and the dogs were pretty worn causing the bike to “automatically” shift from 2nd to 3rd gear under heavy throttle. Dangerous to say the least. It’s amazing how a few $3.00 washers can hold up a build. Or O-rings for that matter. Good luck bud
