Great video, thanks! regarding valve clearance it has been recommended by BMW (in 1984) to increase the valve gap slightly. You'll want 0,1mm on the intake and 0,2mm on the exhaust. You'll get slightly noisier valves but it has other benefits.

Hi John, I've looked on your channel but it seems you haven't made any videos. Perhaps you can apply your advice to your own work.

Well explained, sir. I have one question: many people torque the stud nuts to 39Nm or even 40Nm (incremental, of course). My manual says, 35Nm. Why this difference? Also, intake valve gap is 0.15mm for the first 1000km. Only after 100km should be 0,10mm. Is this only for the situations with new cylinders? I have only resealed my cylinders and don t know how to choose these values

At 2:40 the right cylinder is at compression stroke tdc as the manual said. I am so confused now

no it s not. He explaines it very good, just pay attention. In order to compress the fuel/air mix, both valves need to be closed.

Great vid! at 11:27 you say tdc on the exhaust stroke? isnt it on the intake stroke?
@gfpmotorrad5235
4 жыл бұрын
Whenever one piston is at tdc on the compression stroke the other is at tdc on the exhaust stroke. The one you want to adjust is the compression one because both valves will be closed. Then you turn the engine over so the other one is at tdc compression and adjust those clearances.

I bought one a year ago. I have limited space to work on the engine and am even more limited on my knowledge of how to work on it. I’d like to remove the engine from the frame and do the work on a bench but I would still like the ability to test start it. The engine has zero lines connected to it now. No fuel lines or electric. This is a stupid question but what are the minimum things I would need connected to try and start it out of the frame? Fuel line- spark plug lines- battery lines. Things like that. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Zach! I do all my work in a smallish garage. Bikes are good for small spaces. Regarding working on the bench that’s totally feasible- I do most my engine work on the bench or floor. Starting the engine out of the bike however I wouldn’t recommend. It wouldn’t be impossible but would be hard and dangerous and unnecessary. Just rebuild and put back in frame. Good luck!
