Me watching dirtbike engine builds and stuff while mine JUST blew up👁👄👁

Dude sweet video. I appreciate how you make nice long videos that follow something through. So many channels upload a 5 minute video then end it on a cliffhanger so we come back for the rest of what should have been in the first video.

Amazing vid. I am waiting impatiently for the next amazing episodes. A man who loves motorcycles. The best job I've ever seen

There are a few things you should do before cerakoting engine parts, 1st check the tech data sheets to make sure the colors you're using are high heat cerakotes and if the part will be exposed to the sun, the tech data sheets also tell you the UV index/stability which states how well the paints hold up in the sun. Burnt bronze is good up to 500 degrees but the color will fade at around 350 and its UV stability is considered good. 2ndly you should be running your cerakote through a mesh filter before putting it in the gun, for metallics use a 100 mesh and for all others run a 150, high end cerakotes like elite series should be run through a 325, C-series does not need a mesh. 3rd your gun should have a .08 fluid needle I believe (cant remember off the top of my head) and when Spraying your parts should be hung up and 3-5 inches away with a 3 inch fan @ a 30 degree angle down, then up. (Octagonal spraying for barrels/rounded pieces etc) 1/2 fan overlap...so when you have a spray line...your downward motion should overlap 1/2 of your 1st spray line. 3rd you should only coat the same areas twice max to ensure your hitting within the 1mil-2mil recommendations, anything past 2 mils your going to see chipping over time because your now coating over the substrate you blasted and onto the cerakote itself, cerakote doesnt stick to cerakote, it sticks to substrates so it's best to stay within recommendations. 4th, you can control gloss index by obviously ratios 12:1,18:1,24:1 and finally other factors like ambient curing vs going straight into oven while wet and also the temps, like 180 for plastics @2hrs (250 for metals @2hrs or 300 for 1 hour depending on desired glossiness) this is helpful when trying to match glosses with different thickness of metals or plastics, obviously thinner parts will cure faster than thick parts. I've included tech data sheet link at bottom. Lastly you should have a moisture regulator on your air generator (eliminates moister in the lines) as well as using an oven that has a fan built into it. Hope this helps bro!

Cameron...great job my friend...enjoy watching a true professional at work...can't emphasis the cleanliness...so important to this kind of work. Please keep the vids coming.

Ive been racing motocross for almost 25 years and ive recently found your site.I have never commented on a video but after watching your vids i just had to comment. Your an amazing builder /mechanic your attention to detail is comparable to an artist. Its always a pleasure to watch someone whom not only knows what they are doing but loves what they are doing also. Both of which you obviously do. Your also an inspirational person givin the adversity you faced. Keep up the fantastic work cant wait to see your future builds.

You've just opened a whole new world to me for when I come to spray my bike, thanks man, appreciate your efforts!

Your videos are amazing Cameron. Seriously top level. Thank you so much for creating this content, I've learned so much from your youtube channel.

Subbed. The CR250 build I’ve been watching closely, can’t wait for it to be finalized. Your work is very clean and your videos show everything involved and provides a good learning experience, thanks for that. Very easy to watch and addicting. You deserve way more subs.

Yo Cameron, Thank You for all this knowledge that you pass down through your videos. I’ve always wanted to get into buying Dirtbikes and quads and fixing them up for Resale and for myself, I just never had a garage to do such projects myself. Keep up the hard work bro!

Awesome work. I watched this video like 2 years ago. Found it again because I just wanted to get that same paint work done on my track bike build. Awesome work.

Love your videos! They chill me immensely before I go to sleep, keep up the good work 👍🏼

you do great work. super clean rebuild. congrats. great video to see how to rebuild an engine and make it look even better than stock! awesome.

Awesome work Cam! I have a KX 500 (1990) and (2) CR250's Im restoring , an 88' & 1987. Im gonna use all your tricks to get it right!

I love how that cerakote looks, awesome! You seem to have mastered it now

the amount of times you've helped me solve problems is amazing i cant thank u enough love vids

Love ur videos mannn, always waiting for the next one too come👍 keep up the good work!

Looks great! This inspires me to cerakote parts on my 2000 CBR1100XX.

Can't wait for the sound of that engine! Amazing job man!

This CR is gonna be a mean machine when it's all put back together, keep up the videos man!

Looks awesome! This is the channel that I need to watch hopefully I can do some of my own projects soon.

Great work Cameron this bike is going to look sweet I can’t wait to see the finished product

you sir are a the sort of guy who takes 100 percent pride in your work,and what you do.

very informative and precise,the best video around by far so much detail and told in a way thats understandable to most just learning.well done.

your rebuild videos couldn't have come at a better time, as i'm in the process of rebuilding my '02 engine. very, very helpful!

This whole build series is awesome and well documented!! Cant believe i just found it subbed!

I always amaze how this machine back to life.....nicely done....

Just mind blowing!! Incredible job my brother.

Master !!! greetings from Argentina!!! your work is excellent and very motivating

Love this content Cameron! Tips are always over the top! Really enjoy the channel every time I get of KZfaq.

loving these CR build videos man, keep up the great work!

Dude , that looks fantastic ‼️👍🏻 I'd just sit & stair at it most of the day ....LOL !! I have two vintage CR125's 92,93 this would look rad on.

Awesome dude, that Bronze ceracoate finish looks amazing, top work.🤙

Looks awesome. Titanium clutch cover bolts would be the icing on the cake

You're a true inspiration dude. Really impressed. About to begin work on one of my projects. Not sure which it will be yet. The options are: Bultaco Sherpa 350 twinshock trials - ground up restoration that I may keep for a while, Bultaco Sherpa 250 twinshock trials - ground up restoration that I will be selling, Honda CB-1 NC27 400 - non runner, needs a complete rebuild Honda CBX550 - basket case due to become a cafe racer Honda VF750F Interceptor V45 - another basket case due for total restoration to showroom condition hopefully And the most likely: CBR 125 - needs new piston, and because it needs selling Honda Varadero 125 - because I want to play with it a bit. Only needs a few repairs.

Can't wait for the following cr250 vids!

The best i love your videos and the way you explain step by step everything thanks a lot

Hey man, thanks for all the great video's (even though they ruin my productivity at work haha) i love the video's and how you explain everything and unlike other channels it actually seems like you know why and how you have to do something a certain way.

I HAVE A CR125 03! Just finally rebuilt this as a project, the cover would be the cherry on top

I loveee your videos and can't wait for the final product Keep it up man 👍👍👍

Your excellence and attention to detail always show. Forever improving and building.

Can’t wait to see the finished engine . Gonna look sweet !

Just took out my Yamaha WR 500 engine and am waiting to get it back from Vapor blasting so I can reassemble it and replace bearings, seals, gaskets. Super excited.

That looks flawless Cameron nice video man

Love this series man!!! Keep the cr250 vids coming!!!

I loved the result, definitely will do this to my cheap bike.

Sweet build man, Love your work!

My god man your builds are truly inspiring I’m in a low spot and your videos have really givin me the drive to get up and work on my stuff too thank you man seriously best channel on KZfaq good work and keep it up

Sweet video man your channel is only getting bigger and better love your bike builds

Those colours are so nice ! i need this on my engines also

Looks amazing Cameron. Nice work!

Your colour combination is genuinely sweet. The red contrast will compliment black with bronze. l'm happy you said red oil filler cap, ha.

This ceramizer paint looks really like the original on the covers, it's a super-well-made job

You are literally an artist kid! Love your videos. 👍

Never though to use compressed air can from the store - the aerosol saps the energy from anything thus shrinking. Genius - and thanks for teaching us unawares of the cerakote.

This bike is going to be beautiful!!! I can’t wait tell that cylinder comes in!!!!

Always quality content keep it coming!

that turned out super sick! gunna be even better with that red oil cap

Esta quedando impresionante Came!

Wow.. Thats very nice.. Cameron, well maintain thumbs up for that guys..

Really nice work man ! Love ur vids. Greetings from Sweden.

Love your attention to detail man, Those casings look sick, Subscribed

Damn i love watching you working and paying attention to all those small details

Awesome content! Cant wait to see it runs!

This is sooo cool. I wish I had access to these machines and skills to do my CRF 450

brilliant video, really enjoyed this

Motor looks amazing! We are getting close!

I’m only after giving my kx a new engine rebuild and now I’m doing a cr 125 that’s y I’d like that side casing u done in the video

That bike is going to be sick! Loving the build series

Super nice work and I dig that trick engine stand. My only thing is the gaskets being slightly over sized. I need to see if the wife will let me install an oven into the garage.

Nice work as always Cameron Niemela

Nice Work Cameron!!

YouR Videos are so helpful! I am only 11 and I am building my kx 65!

Awesome! waiting for the next episode already

Looking awesome nice job

Looks like a Million bucks Great Job!! That color combo is 🔥

Best person to restore bikes, I always come here

Awesome vid mate 😁 you got me in trouble when my wife thought i was cooking dinner bahahaha

Fantastic job! First time Ive seen this style of coating.

Nice one again...thx! btw. the Stickers came Saturday..very Thx Cameron

Nicely done, Cameron!

never even heard of this stuff, great vid.

Looking forward to you talking about the top end. I'm about to change out my piston. You did a little talk about the cylinder head during the tear down. Can you reuse the old with new piston if it's in good shape? Is it better to just buy bought new? Like to hear about your thoughts on option. Just came across your build yesterday. Really locked in on thank for your time and doing these videos!

amazing! would love to do some cerakote on my ktm exc but unfortunately I don't get such cool things where I live..

I’m rebuilding my yz motor this winter. Thanks for the tips

Red instead of bronze would look sick as well😍

Looks awesome! How well does the coating last during use ?

wow... cant wait to see it done. you should start working on the frame and getting that back together while your bolts are in the mail.

Amazing video bro, keep it up and share your amazing work with us.

Awesome job! What was the tape you used to mask off the gasket surfaces? Seemed to be heat resistant?

Super Awesome Update. I cannot wait.

I like the work you do bro.

another brillant video you should have your own tv progamme it helps me so much cheers

this great cameron the perfect acavado! I have a question the lid of the water pump was better left in black? Likewise the water pump has 2 seals on water and oil, in the video I only saw one.

Great video can’t wait to see more vids about the 250

Amazing job👌🔥 Love your videos🤙

hey man wicked video, now im curious what can we spray or use besides a polish to protect our clean cases from rust and corrision? thanks!

I've watched this video a grip of times I love it! What color, in spray can, can I get that looks similar to your cerkote paint job? I'm building a motorized bike and would love to make it look like your cr.

Love the videos. Wish the excess gasket could be trimmed and removed like you did with that knife!
