I'm going through the exact same thing with an XT225, basically the same engine, thanks for posting the video!

Good job. I'm always amazed that people can take on those jobs. Beyond my ability. 👍👍

Awesome rebuild ...........and great color engine ! Thanks Sir for your time..........i love these bikes

The bike runs great, and I noticed the detail on the find, nice touch!

Nice to see someone doing it the right way, great job kid...

Thank you!!! Im about to rebuild my tdubs engine and this is an amazing how to do it properly video!

The green top end of that WR, so pretty!

Wow... your skills are impressive man! Great vid!

That was an interesting watch. Thanks for posting!

Great job. Bout a xt225 awhile back and rebuilt it same way top and bottom. Starts and idles good but at around half throttle it starts cutting out. I slid it to the back burner out of frustration but hope to get back to it soon. Could be slipping clutch, carb, electronic, leaking valves. I'll get it sorted out one of these days.

Looks drop dead gorgeous in white (the engine)

You make this look and sound easy. Now i gotta rebuild my engine

I've never seen a TW engine painted like that. Looks cool. I'm in the process of changing a crankshaft due to oil starvation. I didn't tighten the oil galley bolt after an oil change and things went south in a hurry. My piston was ruined. I put in a new piston/rings, honed the cyclinder as it was ok. Ran good for about 6 months of riding and then the crank problem happened. The lower rod bearing was gone. You had wiggle in your rod, I had wiggle waggle :). Thanks for sharing your video.

" As always beat stuff with a hammer " hahaha, noted. 😂 Watching this while doing a top end Rebuild. Leaking oil through front of head/cylinder? Replacing the gaskets and hopefully it'll work. Tried patching it but just kept weeping a lil oil so I decided to rip it apart and replace it. Was hoping to see some video of your process with that if you have any. If not that's okay, thanks anyways and awesome video man. Salud from Cali.

There are two O-rings that go around the head studs. One goes with the base gasket and one goes with the cylinder gasket. I'd bet those are missing or deteriorated. I can't screen shot it but yamahapartshouse.com has a good parts diagram of how it all goes. May as well replace the base and head gasket while you're there. Should be a pretty cheap parts bill :)

Bill Bune is my neighbor and an old friend. I also have a T-Dub, and it's a real shame to see yours so badly abused.

Pretty sure your connecting rod should have some/ little left to right. You wanna check vertically up and down.

Any update on the bike, mods, changed the front forks yet?

Thank you for this. I just picked up a 93 that was run out of oil. I'd like to tackle this as well. Would you recommend rebore, new piston and run to see? Or just do it?

@texanmotoworks4274

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I'd advise a rebore if you have the time, energy and money. But if the cylinder walls look good, a light hone and quick check of bore dimensions should work for you. Always do new rings, at least. If the piston looks okay you can run it. I clean mine with a soft wire wheel when I reuse them.

Looks like they were removed from the bike and dragged behind a truck for 100 miles. The crank had a little bit of wiggle like yours. Just wondering if you recommend replacing the piston 1st and running, or just move forward and replace the crank since I'm 1/2 way there anyways?

Do the countershaft and crankshaft need to be balanced together? Since you changed the crank does the counter need to be mated to it?

@texanmotoworks4274

2 жыл бұрын

They don't. They need to be "timed" so they are in the correct phase, but the weight/balance of a new crank is not different enough to require a new matching/balanced counterbalance shaft. In reality i bet the components vary within a few ounces most likely. So a perfect 0 gram balance isn't achieved from the factory, or ever.

Should there be pressure coming out of the crank case when its running

Yes. The crankcase vent is made to route back to the airbox.

You said you increased the bore size on this rebuild. Can you tell me new the bore size and displacement? I'm assuming you kept the same rod, but bored out the cylinder and increased the piston and ring sizes, right?

It was bored the first size over, which is .5mm. Displacement increase is negligible but can be calculated. You can keep the same rod. You do need a new piston and rings, correct.

How did you press the crankshaft bearings?

@texanmotoworks4274

5 жыл бұрын

With any bearing install use differential heating. Example: case bearings drop straight in if you heat the case to about 300 degrees and freeze the bearing overnight. Do that the the crank bearings and you should get close. When closing the cases the mechanical force will press the bearings on the crank. HIGHLY recommend getting a "crank puller" tool. Makes the job easy.

Dear Texan Motorworks, thank you for posting this video. I appreciate the effort it takes to shoot and post videos to youtube. In the spirit of improving your vids, please get a tripod. The floating, hand-held camera is OK for specific shots but using that method for the whole video makes it unwatchable. Also, when holding the camera, don't wave it around so much. You make the viewers motion sick.

My guess is that somebody used some junk oil additive
