I just want to give everyone a couple tips on not just 2 stroke engine’s but pretty much anything in general. When you’re taking something apart that you’re not experienced with or you don’t fully understand take pictures and take notes. “For (Such and such) part, the washer goes on then the 10mm bolt” take photo’s of each bolt and the part before you take them off so you can look at those later and figure out how to put it back together. While you’re doing all that look at the different parts, look at how they work and learn about stuff. My Father completely took apart a V8 and was able to put it back together a year later because he found the old photos and notes

It’s guys like you that make KZread what it was intended for awesome info God bless

hi like your videos,they are helpful to me,i have a 94 cr125,what kind of gear oil is the best to use and what coolant should i use.i,and how do you know if the radiator pump is still working/if you could help me i would appreciate it,thank you.

do the cylinder head studs come in a pack? i wasnt really planning on replacing them, even though they are a bit rusty. but if there is an engine rebuild pack that has them i would do it.

Hey man love your vids. I work on practice bikes for Mitchell Harrison if you're into racing at all. I'm a machinist as well and I just caught the bit on metrology and piston clearance. You can still get totally accurate readings down to .0005" if you just lift your caliper to clear topside. Essentially set the piston on it's head and stand skirts up then come in from the top at like 45° with the caliper. Or as you said you can go with a mic. But don't take this as a dicky comment bro from one mech to another I know how sometimes those little tips are important! That's why your vids are doing well too man you do a fantastic job of showing the right way while explaining WHY it's right. Cheers from Temecula CA brother! Keep em coming.

@jordyjordan9151

Also setting the bore gauge is definitely better to use a mic and gauge blocks. And converting to or from metric always multiply or divide by 25.4. Just machinist talk but you are completely capable of doing all that man. The math you're doing is well beyond the measurement technique. In other words you have too many opportunities for human error, you are doing math down to ten thousandth placement. To put that in perspective to other people, one human hair is .003 and you're using decimals down to +/-.0005 so thats 1/6 dia. Of a human hair lol so if you use that tight of numbers on math you really can't trust setting bore gauge off calliper and then doing that math to get difference. Instead. Use a 2" and a .130" gauge block and set a 2-3" micrometer then use the dial on bore gauge to set ZERO at exactly 2.130 then you let the gauge work for you just read the dial and you will have the best reading I think you get the idea. You're killing it man hope these couple tips only further your success

ive ran into a problem where i got a new cylinder for a cr250 and i reused the old studs but they were very hard to get in and one didnt go in all the way and i ended up destroying the thread on the stud. I was curius if i should always change the studs too when i install a new cylinder I have also heard that the studs are only made for one time use, as if you would need to replace them everytime you take the head off.

hello adam good job there...i got a 1982 cr 125r coud that engine fit possibly inmy 1982 frame tanks again good job my friend

Have you used a nickasil coating on the cylinder wall?

Where did you get that black side cover...it looks great

Awesome video! Looking at buying my first dirtbike soon. Seems pretty straightforward maintaining a 2 stroke. My mechanic friend always tells me to stay away from them cause he claims they break a lot more often and are harder to maintain. I'd say otherwise though, when a 4 stroke breaks it's a lot more expensive and harder to repair. Am I right?

A well made non biased video just telling you how to do the job. That new cylinder head looks pretty shotty. Sloppy job nice color.

Nice work!! You know your stuff that's for sure! If you have not already get the Motion Pro Torque wrench adaptor, I got one and I use it for all four cylinder studs so they are all evenly torqued down and they give you a simple math conversion to set the torque wrench. Trust me it is worth it! :)

I need more info on the power valve. I ha e a 02 cr125 just opened the power valve co er and everything is totally lack caked on oil. What does this say about the bike and can I just clean it with a spray?

@woodymx3488

Why do they need a rebuild so often?? Or is it just the high revving dirt bike engines? I have a Polaris 400 2 stroke and they go for years without a rebuild. But it also isn’t near as high revving and it’s water cooled too. I guess I could see why a high rpm 250 would need a rebuild more often than the big 400 2 stroke
