Oh well, what's the worst that could happen? ;)

Piston is correct Matt. It's the rest of the job that's upside down!

@@prdoohan lmao. Yeah how stupid of me...

Are you surprised?😂

He didn't do the head, a shop did, they should have checked their work.

@@DenvarShay And Brian should have double checked it. Never take a shop's word for their work being done right.

@@bajacore so if I go to have my valve clearances checked, I should recheck them before I leave the shop? Doesn't seem right

Just do it. Make sure you have a service manual, they give you all the information you'll need

@@jeffreymurillo3131 Well... No. SOME of us have that gift. Others... let's just say they should be carefully supervised. Chase might be one such individual. ;)

@@troyjollimore4100 Yes, the gift of being able to read a manual without tossing it after reading the first sentence lol

That’s what I was thinking. Especially cuz I have the same one they got and it was under $10 at autozone lol

Don't usually need one. I've done this a few times where you can just compress the rings by hand, or using a handy plastic sheet.

😆 right

11:01 "Most likely going to be a special order type of tool" 🤣 Considering he didn't know he could just grab one from the nearest orileys, he strikes me as a "K.A.C"(Know all C). Just faking it until he makes it.

If there is that much taper it is going to have problems

My thought exactly. No wonder the keeper came out. The stem needs force not the retainer.

100% agree

If it's in good shape why not? The one in this video is barely used, there wouldn't be any problems there..doesn't seem like it but you can get away with a lot of things in an engine. Sometimes replacing smaller things is just an excess of caution ;)

@@RoadUser_Motovlog because it crushes and conforms to the irregularities in the two surfaces. You will never have it in the exact same place the second time. It will be a problem in the future

@@archiedentone5950 yes and no..of course it crushes and you'll never put it exactly in the same place twice, but in this specific case we're talking about an almost brand new engine that barely started and didn't really heat up, and while it's true that the gasket shapes up like the small imperfections of the surfaces we need to keep in mind that we're talking about a fraction of a fraction of a millimeter. The gasket wouldn't truly adapt to the parts until it went on a full heat up/cool down and stress cycle. If this happened after a few Km i'd scrap it too, but since the bike never even left the lift it's really unlikely that reusing that gasket will cause problems in the future.

@@RoadUser_Motovlog lol when did you decide to make all that up? The gasket is deformed and this adds an elastic stress to the material. This is like a pre-load on between the surfaces and gasket. This is the same as spark plug gaskets. Thermal cycling actually reduces this deformation induced stress over time. This is one of the reasons why you re-torque or have TTY head bolts. Stop spreading nonesense.

I had this happen to an old friends Mitsubishi eclipse GSX, he had a built engine, and someone blocked the passage to oil the head with RTV and needless to say, some ugly things happened. I was able to clean it out with compressed air, he got the head and cams cleaned up and the car ran fine after.

'Qualified mechanic'

Ya there views have been dropping and dropping he soon will join the KZfaq graveyard along fpsrussia old vlog channels fusey tube etc RIP CO2w

@Rolling On Tens. Which naturally makes you question the level of knowledge and experience right? I'm not having a crack, good on him for having a go. But anyone who has any experience with engines knows about $10 ring compressors right?

He obviously set him straight and told him he absolutely needs to check valve clearance with the head installed and torqued

It's actually not much worse. The only thing you need to pay extra attention to with a multi-cylinder engine is timing, really.

Getting sorted is the last thing that is happening to this engine.

Haaahaahaaa

Never mind, I should have watched the complete video.

Compress's the valve springs so that if anything were to jump loose, you'd know then rather then when the motor is fully assembled and you go to start it. It's added piece of mind

@@TachyonDust no. He hit the spring which will knock the keepers loose. You need to hit the valve stem not the spring

Brian’s incompetence

Love these comments from those that probably have troubles building Legos. WITH the instructions... ;) Pay no attention to 'Mick' and 'Ian'. The head was supposed to be complete from the shop they had assemble it. Brian SHOULD have double-checked it, but wasn't expecting anything to be remiss. Valves have small 'keeper clips' that hold them in place. If one disconnects, the valve will just fall into the chamber.

@@troyjollimore4100 I actually rebuild and refresh race engines for a number of Superbike race teams, I know the the Honda engine extremely well as I’ve rebuilt and refreshed every evolution of the CBR1000 over the last 20 years, it was Brian the builders mistake. Never take anything for granted, thats whats it needs to produce reliable quality work, he did not do that.

@@Shinysideup F*cking Legend 🤙🏻👏

@@Shinysideup Absolutely right. But he was probably operating under a time crunch. It’s why I do my own work, or search out a mechanic like yourself that will take the time, rather than rush through. I’ve seen this happen with many mechanics that I’ve known to be ‘good’. Serves nothing to mock and disparage over a mistake. Life always tends to pounce on the few times you let your guard down, and even harder when it happens more seldom!

Kid. Anyone who says a ring compressor is a special order tool is so far over his head

you no use Adblock? Rookie move.

Did it hurt? Did you bleed at all?

You mean check valve clearances? Which you always do when head is on the block. He did not. Negligent man.

I was referring to seating of the keepers
