top notch mechanic for sure, but as a machinist I'll give you a small tip. when lapping/sanding surfaces that you want to be as flat as possible its best to use a figure 8 pattern when sanding.

I have found using a rubbing block and making a cross-hatch pattern will yield better results. Using sandpaper larger than what your trying to make flat will cause the edges to wear down more. Only maybe half thou say probbaly won't matter but still half a thou

Nice job I love that powder coat. Can you tell me what brand/model that is?

Put the bearings in the freezer 24 hours beforehand the will drop right into the cases.

does it matter what i lube the cams and buckets with, I was going to put some royal purple 10w30 on them

Thanks for the video! I have rebuilt 2-strokes but wanted an idea on how to set timing and such as I am considering getting a 250f. Thanks for the confidence boost! Now, If i buy a 250f, I'm more confident in rebuilding it!

I have the same engine, when for a reconstruction of those?

did you oil the oil filter before you put it in?

Freeze the bearings and heat up the case and they will just drop right in no pressing required

Nice, but you didn’t check valve clearances?

What happen if I don’t install the clutch spring plate and seatp plate ? I don’t have those either

It an Art I love those dying out

Would you know the diameter and grade of the stopper bolt under starter?

Where can I find new circlip rings. That I know are right for my yz250f????

Amazing I wish I had your skills. Unfortunately I’m going to have to pay a guy.

Hello. I could really use your help! That banjo bolt that you put in the case at the 18:58 mark I stripped because the torque wrench decided to not click! I've been working on this bike for months now and couldn't imagine having to pull it apart again😭 What you do??? And does that hole just go into the case behind the clutch? Like if I was to have to to any drilling, could I just take the clutch out and clean the shavings out there? I'm really stressing out about this. Thank you for any advice you can give me...

Where's the video if it running after the rebuild?

Hi there...Enjoyed the video my friend..I am looking at a used to 2001 yz250f that the seller says doesn't run.. needs rebuild kit..he's asking $1800 obo... I wonder how much it would cost to rebuild the engine like you are doing here? If I buy can I ship the engine and rebuild kit parts to you? Thanks Kenny in Winona Mississippi USA

Do you have an idea why the crank seized? Could it be just bad maintenance or is there something wrong with these yzf engines? I've seen many cases where this same exact happens that the crank seizes like this and im worried for mine now :D.

Hi Matti, it is a pretty common thing, the big end bearing fail is common, it takes a lot of stress a lot of times. To push it back as far as possible I would change oil and filter per recommendation and not overheat my engine (so install have a temperature gauge somewhere to check)

Am I supposed to add an adhesive or oil on the valve gasket cover at 12:07? If so, what kind do I need? I have a 2004 Yamaha yz250f

Apply ultra black gasket maker to metal cover part and set gasket on top of gasket maker ultra black get it anywhere then install cover tighten down and wait for ultra black to fully cure.

What is bearing number code at 1:46? I ordered that bearing with same code what was an old bearing but new is so small on that bearing hole. 6204RUED is number what i got

i wish i had the skills to do this. my engine siezed a few years back had to send to a mechanic who took 1200 bucks for it

I dont know where u got. 040 on the 2nd piston ring but that gap is double what it should be. You had to have read it wrong on the instruction pamphlet or something. If you are building engines you should know better than that...
