Mechanimations returns with "It's Worth it", a full rebuild of a 1993 KX250 2 stroke dirt bike engine done with stop motion animation.
"It's Worth It" is the result of approximately 500 hours worth of work and contains somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 unique photos. It ups the game from previous Mechanimations videos to include a storyline, characters, and an original film score. It's not a tutorial, but you might learn something from it. If you don't learn anything I think you'll still be entertained. And if this video makes you want to go spin a wrench then I've achieved my goal, and the effort was worth it.

Original film score by Nicholas Alan Nelson, who I can't thank enough.

Race Tech came through for me once again! The engine department did the meticulous and precise work on the cylinder and head. For more info on Race Tech Engine Services: bit.ly/3gDyVzG
I'm happy to have worked with Wiseco on this video project as well. I love their engine components and was happy to have their piston as the star of the show. www.wiseco.com/

I thought there was no way I'm going to sit through 8 minutes of an engine rebuild video... But that was truly fascinating, I couldn't take my eyes off from start to finish! Seriously epic job.

I love how he gave the pistons such character. Especially how the new wiseco didn't want to do the rebuild at first and the old piston was like no, you have to do this. This is honestly the inspiration I need to rebuild my old kdx220 that blew up a few years back.

I took that idea, the "refusal of the call", from the hero's journey story template. Other elements from the hero's journey are meeting the mentor (the manual) and finding allies (the tools). There is so much more I had wanted to do with the storyline and characters, but I had to finish this thing at some point 😂 I love hearing that my work has inspired people. Go dive in on that KDX, it's worth it.

Semiconductor manufacturing equipment field service and maintenance. A kindred spirit. I have a +30 year career starting with Applied Materials, IBM and GlobalFoundries. It was night job (worked night shift for nearly all of those +30 yrs) of rebuilding industrial equipment that gave be the skills to successfully maintain my Harley Sportster 95 XLH 1200 for 106,000 miles and 20 years. I started over 3 years ago on a used BMW 07 R1200RT with 48,000 miles. Good to see a fellow semiconductor manufacturing employee.

I clicked this video thank you would be more informative than some other ones.. Then I saw that it was kind of this very artistic, so I dialed back my expectations.. I was wrong to do that 😅 Very aesthetically pleasing, yet very informative without overloading the viewer with extra information.. or words in general. 😅. And nobody's hands/hairy forearm/shoulder/ass in front of the camera the whole time 👏👏👏 well done.

I had a 2007 KX250 and that thing had so much low down and mid torque... tapped out early but im in my 40's and dont really have to fitness to ride a bike at at redline anymore. This thing would pick up and rear up like a horse from a near stand still. Perfect for busting out of corners. Man, I miss that bike.
