Very good video! Loved the honesty of dealing with a trashed engine. The time, the money, the likely futility... still, OCD for the win! Thanks!

Thank you! I’ve been waiting for the keyboard perfectionists to burn me at the stake! Lol certain situations require certain tolerances lol

Thanks Hester! I’m picking up my very own smoking GX270 to learn on and this is just the video I was hoping to find to help guide me.

Thank you! I try to explain just enough without putting folks to sleep 😂

That 9 hp Honda will make a heck of a go cart engine. Kid's could pass a police cruiser with that baby.

Excellent video Hester! You can tell you spent a lot of time on the engine and video. Awesome instructions and it sounds like we had the same teacher.😊

Thanks for the video. I bought a 2nd identical generator for my off grid property. I’ll have to rebuild the top end on it. I’ve rebuilt 2 motors about 50 years ago. You’ve shown me a few more tips to get the job done right. Appreciated.

That gasket is high dallor, but on cement saws engines, I installed a new one every time I serviced it. I got a GX 390 that smoked like that Had 50/1 mix gas in it Just drained it and it ran great Good 10 bucks buy😊😊😊

I agree it’s definitely worth the cost. Very lucky find with the 50/1 👍🏻

I’ve been using lubeplate 105 grease for building engines all my life and no problems at all It’s just handy in the tube

Never heard of that, I’ll have to look into it 👍🏻

I've been taught that motor oil should be used when the engine will be rebuilt and immediately run, while assembly lube is better for project engines where the engine might not be started for weeks (which turns into years) . Assembly lube will keep pumped and hydrodynamic pressure from being built up, but will obviously stick around for longer than oil.

I think I would buy the block unit. From EBay for hundred with crank rod piston rings and block Build it up for resale, cam and balance shaft should be good

Definitely crossed my mind! But up in my area this engine all rebuilt would only fetch $100/$150. So I just went with the safe option

I have a tillotson 212 with a big valve head . The block was new and looked honed . It was runing fine for a couple days and all of a sudden white smoke . Only after it warms up . The block I vented . I did install bronze guides and recut the vslve seat . It’s ported aswell . I called ec carbs and they told me to fill in the oil hole on the right side or the cylinder . The hole that’s visible when u take the head off . The head has the same hole but it’s round . He said that should help . I put the head on stroker tillotson that also knew and it did the same thing . Anyone one have any tips or experience? Pls help . Ty

@@utiprogress6586 my buddy let me barrow his billet head . I think that might reveal the issue . Ec carbs said to cap the oil hole next to the cylinder when the heads off . Lmk if I’m missing anything .

I’m sorry but I don’t have much experience with those. Hopefully someone else in the comments can help 👍🏻
