Hey Bud .. here it is 4 yrs later and last month I picked up a 79 .... its a runner but going to need top end done ......I'll be watching your videos over as a refresher ... been since 82 I had one of these apart :) ...... hope you're well !!

I just wanted to let you know that I can feel and see your love and passion for these bikes and it's really cool to see you doing the restoration on this bike. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. My wife and I are really enjoying watching your videos. Keep up the great work Sir.

I say this cbx engine is some kind of interdimensional portal, that would explain all the weird stuff that landed in there. Just saying. Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!

Incredibly interesting to follow the restoration of this beautiful bike. I had a 1981 Honda CB750C which has the 4 cylinder version of this engine. I have wanted a 6 cylinder of this for a long time. What makes these engines often break even with low miles on the odometer? I think I know where the big aluminum piece is from 0:55 If you watch the video "Honda CBX Full Restoration & Engine Rebuild Video Series - Part 34 Alternator Stator & Rotor Rebuilds" at minute 8:05 you can see that the Alternator housing has a part that resembles the part that was broken off. And there is a part that may have been replaced earlier if the one that was fitted to this engine is not damaged. How much will it cost to do such a restoration? How much does such a completely restored bike cost? With kind regards from Norway

Please make the rebuild process video as detailed as possible. Thanks for all of your videos, they are invaluable

I'm from Indonesia, I saw your video and really like this. Even though I don't understand about machines, I look carefully at what you are doing. Because I like all the motorcycles with a large cc capacity.

Kinda mesmerising...

Yes it did answer question. Thank you I am rebuilding an rsv4 RR 2016 I will post videos when my pieces get delivered I don’t have cameras but I’ll do the vest that I can for people to see on phone but thanks for help I hope you support and thanks again

It’s a pleasure to watch your videos. Nice bike and nice job. Greetings from Spain 👍🏻

Fantastic video!!!! I agree with the comments on the music, perhaps abit of back ground classical but besides that superb.....Subscibed :) and looking forward to the rebuild.

Hello sir i am a big fan of CBX honda i ever found this 30 episodes. I really thank you for share the knowledge of this mechanical thing. & i really glad to see all of this episodes. Live well sir god gives u good health & wealth. Uumwaahh grandpaa

Great video as usual! I might have a idea where that big piece of aluminium came from. Have you looked at the part where ther alternator "clutch" plates are? The is a"wall" moulded on both engineside and alternator cover. It is for the oil spread that cools/grease the alternator. I found the same size and shape of aluminium loose inside mine alternator. There is a big hole down to the oilsump inside there, for the oilcirculation, where it might have fell down

Again soaking the gear in apple cider vinegar for a couple of days will restore that gear back to new but you must oil coat immediately to prevent rust flashing. If you leave in for too long it will simply dissolve the gear or any metal til nothing is left of it. Only on steel & not aluminum. Great vids & Thank you.

that half ring goes on the output shaft bearing grove to retain the bearing in place

Hi There, brilliant videos, really helping with my own rebuild. do you know the RAl number of the CBX Red ??

I second the previous comment, please give as much details as you can. Really good sequence of videos so far. Shame about the really loud music during the intro.

👍👍👍👌

The Yamaha XJ bikes have problems with their starter clutch and its the same deal. split case, i've got one and it was supposed to be my first bike. Now i'm stuck either attempt to sell the bike or do the work myself (never done that level of work). The more i watch videos on engine rebuilds the more I'm thinking of just jumping right in to do it.

Recently have acquired an interest in the CBX, came across this video series which is fantastic !!! However I don't know how long I can last watching with the music Blasting away in between the speech segments, sorry. The loud music is a PITA having to keep adjusting the volume down, then back up ! Nice try though !!!

Hydro lock will bend a rod as well as break a piston.

As strange as this might sound... but that first piece of aluminum you took out of the engine looks a lot like a piece of a broken countershaft cover off of a CB750. I used to see the sandcastle cases let loose and the chain would waste the engine cases and the cover. That piece looks somewhat like the C/S cover. The broken ring isn't a ring.... it's a locating ring for the transmission shaft(s)

Thank you for making all thies videos. :D Can you please lower the music volume though? It's very loud compared to your voice. :) -Gant.

You keep saying vapor lock, don’t you mean hydrolock? Vapor lock is when (mainly in older engines) the fuel gets too hot and doesn’t mix correctly in the carburetor, causing the engine to die. I’ve had cars vapor lock on me in the past, they won’t start but certainly never totally locked up an engine causing a bent rod.

I was watching in silence. Did you find were the broken piece of aluminum came from? And I’ll call you tomorrow

Maybe this engine was the house of a mechanic rodent 😂

I'm guessing a child found the oil cap and placed those objects in the motor.

Good job! I’m a subscriber now! ... But... Dude, the ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE “music” is RUINING your videos! When push comes to shove, it’s better to have NO music than to have HORRIBLE noise that makes viewers run away from your videos. You’re good at what you do, and deserve more subscribers, but it’s not going to happen when people have to turn away from your videos, or turn the sound down and potentially miss something you have to say... You have a lot to offer here, man... Put your videos on normal speed and just talk to us and let the video be as long as it wants to be. You don’t have to have short videos anymore... I actually now tend to AVOID watching short videos... Look up the “Mustie1” channel for reference... NO MUSIC, LLLONG videos, and he just talks to us like we’re standing there with him and watching... Follow his lead, man! And, PLEASE, LOSE THE CRAP MUSIC!
