Thank you very much for watching and for the kind compliment!

Dude, I love your vid's and subscribed a while back cause I think I may have to tear one all the way and am skeered of it. (LOL) While watching this one just thought I would mention an issue not many folks know about and that is dissimilar metal hysteresis. (kinda like corrosion but not exactly the same) Anyway there is an aluminum anti thread seize compound that would work a lot better for those head bolts (as well as any other interior engine bolts that may benefit from anti-seize application). I have both in my shop. Don't worry about it too much just trying to highlight a minor detail. I'm watching and learning more from you and others. Thanks for what you do.

The wrench trick worked for me also. I did this to my 1980 gl1100 couple of years ago. Great video. Hope you still have it in the wind !

Hi. Great video and the time you take to share this to us . i wonder how you did with the piston rings? That cylinder with water in.... if the piston rings where rusted and were stucked? Did you check any of the piston rings on the other cylinders to?

@DustyDingus

2 жыл бұрын

I don't think the rings were stuck. I didn't do a compression test before I started taking things apart, but by the time I did the compression was only slightly less in that cylinder and came up when I put some oil in it (wet compression test). In order to actually see the piston rings I'd have to split the case halves and I wasn't about to do that.

@DustyDingus

Valve covers, intakes, timing covers were all the same method of aluminum polishing I covered in another video; brasso&maroon scotchbrite followed with brown tripoli compound on a stitched buff, and then white polishing compound on a loose leaf buff. Didn't do anything to rockers but the valve heads were wire brushed because they are steel. They were lapped afterwards. Cylinders are steel, light passes with scotchbrite and WD40. Head gasket surfaces, oven cleaner without muriatic acid in it and razor blades held at 90 degrees, brake clean before install.

How do you know tell if you've put the camshaft upside down? I noticed there's a tiny arrow on the shaft iteself. Which direction should this be pointing?

@DustyDingus

3 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure if the little arrow is important. The camshafts are keyed on the timing sprocket end, and the right is longer due to the fuel pump lobe and tach drive. The crucial part is to get the timing sprockets themselves on correctly and then rotate to align timing marks. You'll know if they're on wrong, belts wont line up. Rotate crank 180 degrees off of TDC so you can rotate cams without fear of valves hitting pistons.

The cams shafts also have left or right on them. But pretty easy as one has the fuel pump drive on it.

With the belts on and adjusted. I don't understand why you would worry about warming it up and then rechecking the tension. Did Honda do that during assembly when it was new I wonder?

Found out why coca cola is often used with aluminum foil to clean rusty chrome. It contains Phophoric acid which is a natural rust remover. But is too diluted in coke to be truly effective, though it appears to work. It is actually the foil doing the work. I just picked up a quart to try it and the 85% concentrated food grade needs to be diluted but at full strength it cleans rusty gas tanks really good. Just have to do a flush and neutralize and re-flush. just did a CB750 Gas tank with it and it came out clean as a whistle. Sealed it with a Red sealer that is gasoline resistant..........we shall see.

I used to use the apple cider vinegar and metal bits method to clean tanks, but after using evaporust I will never go back. Yeah, it's more expensive but way more effective and you get multiple uses from the same fluid. I have never tried submerging a rusty chromed part in it though, now I'm curious

Make sure you only use oem Honda head gaskets bro. I had a shit load of problems with aftermarket ones until I read an article of a bloke having same problem with his CX500. I went and got oem ones and never had a problem again... Nice build tho... I'm in the middle of rebuilding 3.. A 75, 81 and an 83 Aspencade. Are you on any of the wing forums?

As all my pistons appear fairly fresh I'm going to have the affected bore machined out and resleeved and re bored to current specs. I would have to go 4 sizes os if I rebore... I'm not keen on the wall thickness at that size. A lot of guys have said can't re-sleeve... I have had it checked by one of our highly regarded motorcycle engineering guys here in Western Australia and guarantees his work. I'm considering doing a KZread video of it so I I can share if it's successful... Or not. One of the big piss off's tho is not being able to get aftermarket pistons and bearings... They are available for 750 fours... You'd think they'd be avail for wings... As for your head gasket... I just bought a full engine gasket set from randakks and it has vesrah gaskets... So if using them... My experience was a long time ago so hopefully materials and technology has improved. I got 4 oem gaskets from sabre cycles. Here in Australia they want $150 per gasket. I got 4 landed here for just under $200 plus some other goodies I needed and didn't "need" but cost the same shipping... I like the way your covers came up.

That's what I just told you about. 1&3 are on the right side of the bike, 2&4 are on the left. Each cam pulley has 2 marks, UP and an arrow. On the left it will point out towards the left side of the bike, on the right it will point out towards the right side of the bike. Keep in mind, they're the same pulley, and one is flipped over during install. Look around the center of the pulley where it mounts to the shaft. One side is flatter, the other is embossed basically. On the left side the flat side faces out, on the right the embossed side faces out. With the crank at TDC-1, both cam pulleys should have arrows pointing out and UP pointing up.

One full rotation of crank (360) should be a half rotation (180) of the camshaft. I hope this clears things up but I will have to watch again to see the exact moment you're talking about and unfortunately I'm at work right now. I can confirm in about an hour.

@DustyDingus

3 жыл бұрын

I try to respond as much as I can, sometimes a few slip through. I have zoom and venmo so I would be happy to help. Email me dustydingusyt@gmail.com and we can get something set up. So on that right side cam belt (screen left), when installing it you have to hold it in place because it still has some rotational force from the valve springs. Install belt, remove holding wrench, tighten tensioner bolts, and then when rotated 180 (360 at the crank) you should no longer have any valve springs tension on the cam shaft. This also allows the belt to "settle" a bit. Simply loosen the tensioner bolts and then tighten them back down. The belt should now be perfectly tensioned. Let the springs do the work, don't push the tension roller against the belt to try making it tighter. That's why it is important to use new springs. Mine were rusty and stretched. The "shop talk" page at NGW Club .com has a great guide, I used that and the manuals (clymer and honda) to make sure I was getting this right.

You’re in terrible company. The likes of all of us.
