Thanks, sometimes it's just hard to find time, and then when I find time it's hard to find motivation lol

Glad you're enjoying em!

@@Theillestrator1050 Same here.... love your videos and how I can learn by watching. One thing that worries me as far as the different compression readings. Is if you measured the cylinder bores with a dial indicator. Chances are they probably wore evenly but Murphy's Law could also wear them unevenly. The biggest part that intimidates me about engine rebuilds is not the job itself but having to know all the little details. Sadly all it takes is 1 small missed detail to screw the whole the engine up. (engine install gone wrong rant) I put a rebuilt engine in my car once and couldn't get the oil sump off the old oil pump. So I reused the old oil pump thinking it was only 2 gears inside it. Not realizing their was a tiny internal pressure relief bypass spring inside. The spring in the old oil pump turned out to be weak, I got the new engine in and the car ran great for a couple months. Until that spring died, at which point the oil pump stopped pumping oil up to the engine and just pumped oil back out the bypass valve back into the oil pan. The car died, overheated, wouldn't start coz the engine was temporally locked up. When I put the new oil pump in the car started and ran but went "knock knock knock". Luckily it did run OK with engine knock for a few years. If only . All it took was a tiny little overlooked spring to ruin a new engine. Had a buddy destroy a brand new corvette engine when a nut was unknowingly dropped down the intake manifold.

Thank you very much, the great thing is that I've since ridden the bike and it operates as expected!

@@Theillestrator1050 Yes and that is the most important thing.

Glad you enjoyed!

bih

@@Theillestrator1050 second bih

😂

Thank you

Thank you!

Someone actually dropped head nuts by the plugs and just left them in there. I had an extra set lol

@@Theillestrator1050 lol lucky dude

@@Theillestrator1050 Open up your patreon again man. I'd love to throw you a few dollars to help with the project!

It sure is, I wired my BMW with one.

🤣🤣 yeah that's why I mentioned I wasn't yet convinced enough to get happy. But I've since ridden the bike and it's all good.

@@Theillestrator1050 Good Deal ....I take it the compression is normal/within spec ?

Use Time-serts, and you'll never use anything like helicoils again!

Thank you

Nice! I love the tank on the SS version

Thank you

Thank you, well said

Hope you enjoyed. Ok I'll check my email

@@Theillestrator1050 🤜⚡🤛

Hope you enjoyed!

@@Theillestrator1050 im waiting on buying another motorcycle, just isn't the right time right now, these videos give me a sense of ownership.

That's a fact lol

Thanks for watching as always!

What I meant there was that i was getting different specifications for ring end gap. I just chose that one specific value in the video and went with it.

@@Theillestrator1050 Ah, the good o'll five different answers from 3 sources. Usually it's best pratice to follow the vendor instructions. If they're not available, then the OEM instructions. And if those aren't available, then head over to the forums and good luck :v

Mmm mmm, my family owns the building

Thank you. The sound of some cylinders not firing was actually the carbs running out of gas. I'll actually give you a quick update. I've since ridden the bike and the engine runs and rides wonderfully.

@@Theillestrator1050 thx for the update

Thanks

@@Theillestrator1050 I always look forward to your videos

I work in the basement of my building. That's technically a kitchen area but it's more of a slop sink since no one lives down there.

Nope, just a political science degree lol

Don't forget the plan. This is supposed to blend into the curb visually.

Well the thing about me is I never expect a positive outcome no matter how much I double check my work. I don't reckon a positive outcome is owed to me. In any case, the bike runs and rides fine regarding the engine. I've since ridden it.
