Welcome to Episode 4 of the Ducati 916 Restoration. Before I stat with this description id just like to mention i was ill for a good portion of this video so i apologize in advance if any areas aren't up to my usual standards, now with that out of the way
I'll just drop in the link to my Patreon account and you can check that out if you'd like - / rrcrestoration and now ill get on with the description
So as you've already seen by the thumbnail this episode focuses on getting the engine looking as good as the frame and bodywork. In order to make working on the engine alot easier i fabricated a bracket so that i could attach the engine to my engine stand and im pleased to say it worked a treat and made the job so much easier.
Once on the stand i had to clean the engine thoroughly before stripping so that i don't end up with any contamination inside the crankcases and as this engine isn't coming all the way apart keeping it clean inside is imperative. The engine was cleaned with GUNK a cleaner that devours grease and grime then blasted off with the pressure washer.
Once the engine was nice and dry a few hours later i started to pull of the side casings, cam caps and covers and lots of other bits and bobs, it is worth mentioning that in order to pull the side casing off that houses the stator a puller must be used so that you dont break the casing trying to lever it off as there is a bearing in the casing.
After stripping it was simply a case of giving the cases a good clean on the inside so that i didnt end up with oil contamination in the paintwork and then drying them off and blasting the old paint finish off with the media blaster. The engine block was wire brushed, sanded, and masked up in preparation for primer and matt silver.
The casings were laid out strategically and coated with etch primer which acted as the perfect ground color for the custom mixed dark bronze colour i got for the casings and as previously said the engine was primed and painted with matte silver.
After the painting was done and left to cure i spent many hours re plating all the hardware for putting the engine back together, i only showed a small portion of this as its a very boring process and you've seen it all before lol.
Then it was simply a case of putting it all back together again in reverse order, and obviously fitting new timing belts along the way as it makes no sense to use the old ones, even though they are less than a year old but its good practice.
Once all that was done it was simply a case of raising it up into the frame of the bike and bolting it into place.
And that brings this episode to a close im afraid but i will be back again soon with the next one.
As usual i really hope you enjoy this series of videos and leave a like and a comment to let me know what you think.
Enjoy

Yes I fully admit i did make a small mistake with the rotation of the belt tensioners , I hold my hand up and accept my mistake but for anyone concerned that I put the covers on and left it like that I didn't. The mistake was caught and rectified during my post filming checks. We all make mistakes.... Just a shame most of mine are caught on camera these days haha! Stay safe Guys.

ThreeBond is absolutely the best. I use it on everything mechanical and almost never use any kind of silicone which can mess up an engine. ThreeBond in an engine will disintegrate and go out with an oil change, bits of silicone will not break down and will stop up orifices get in your oil pump and other parts. Also ThreeBond doesn't leak. Great work!

The only Ducatis I have worked on were the bevel drive singles and that was a long time ago. I’m retired now but own a Honda RC 30 as wall as a Kawasaki Z1. I find it fascinating to see how Ducati put the bike together. The chassis is gorgeous! The motor however, lacks the sophistication of the Honda V4. That doesn’t diminish it in any way but it does show the difference in design philosophies and production technologies. Oh and thanks for the tips on zinc platting!

@@RRCRestoration It was my dream bike from the day it was launched. I came across mine, a bitsa for a very reasonable price when they were at their lowest value by someone desperate to sell. I’ve just completely rebuilt it including beryllium valve seats, trick valves, modified gear drive cassettes ( and HRC pistons etc I’ve guarded for 20 years! ). It’s a track bike now as the engine and frame number mismatch, although legal, reduce it’s value.

Enjoyed that vid Mr RRC, thank you. As a 916 owner, a few suggestions on this motor if I may......It would have been wise to re-torque the generator rotor nut whilst the cover was off, as they are prone to vibrating loose. This engine has a spin-on oil filter, but it also has a gauze filter fitted into the r/h crank case below the clutch which is often overlooked, so well worth checking/cleaning out. Lastly the o.e clutch slave cylinder is famously prone for leaking fluid which then strips the paint off the l/h side of the motor.....it 'd be a shame for that to happen after you've repainted it. Replacing the slave cylinder with an Oberon item is well worth it. Looking forward the last episode!!

Ian, I have not watched all of this resto, did it come with a MOT or similar? He knew the forks were rebuilt, maybe there are records of engine work, like new rings and honing . . . here in the U.S., buying a bike like this that's been well used I would have torn down the engine or sent it out. Unless the miles are low so he just checked the valves and belts. Still this guy is amazing.

Hello. Great job !!! Just une little precision, the timing belts can be tensioned by turning the tensioning bearing in the anti-clockwise way. Like that, there is a most important distance between the 2 belts parts (rising and falling). Thant you for your videos, it's a great pleasure. Benoit, Ducati 916 and 996 owners from France.

@antonyespindola3123 2 жыл бұрын

Came to the comments to write the same thing! The mobile tensioner has been rotated the wrong way, and those belts are too close together. Turning the tensioner anti-clockwise keeps a safe distance between the belts. :)

Thanks for the memories. I pre-ordered a 916 as soon I saw early pre-production photos and got Frame number 00009 with engine number 12 I think it was. Only available as a single seater at the beginning too so no room for the missus or kids. Loved it but clearly they did not have any Loctite for the early bikes as things started to fall off really quickly, including the kick stand when I was on the M40! Good job I had purchased the Ducati rear wheel stand thing and had it at home, but when I was out and about on it I had to prop it up against walls and railings until a replacement stand arrived. I then removed and Loctited every bolt I could see. Loved it to bits until I sold it along with my ZX9R and Aprilia RS250 to raise some cash for a deposit on a second hand 328 GTS. Still regret it a bit but at least I managed to get an MV Agusta F4 a few years later which I enjoyed until I got to be too poor of a rider to carry on riding things that are too quick for me to be safe on in my advancing years.

@antonyespindola3123 2 жыл бұрын

Because when timed up only the vertical is under tension (and wants to move) whereas the horizontal is not under tension so won't move. You can time without the locking tool but it's really fiddly as the inlet cam (right) wants to rotate all the time under spring tension, so you really need three hands :D

I worked at a race shop when I was in my teens and got to help with the final assembly of a brand new 916sp when it had just come out and Foggy was riding one in WSBK. This brings back so many good memories of that time. Thanks for sharing this and I´m in complete awe of your thoroughness, skills and incredible attention to detail. Cheers!

When you was cleaning the belts I was like: NO, NO, NO, NO HE IS NOT DOING THIS, and when you put it on the engine I thought, JESUS THAT SHOULD BE FRAMED AS A CRIME. HAHA totally got me there. Nice vid, looking forward to the next episode.

You have done an excellent job. You are meticulous in your work. I like the way you put each bolt and nut in specific plastic bin so you can easily identify them and put them where they belong. Good method.
