Yo Tom. Love all your 12 videos so far. You made me go from Dreaming to doing. Im gonna start taking my Owen ZX-7R apart in two weeks, thanks to you, doing alot of pause/play on you videos 😂 I build my Owen Harley 1930 from scratch which was easy but never did a japaneres bike before and your videos gave me enough confidence to get started. Thank you so far and can’t wait to see The next wideo. You are awesome 🎉

Awesome work Tom! I have been watching your videos for a while now, and im always thrilled to see when you upload a new video, always very educational and interesting. I love your work and precision! I have a Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R 636c 2006 which is completely disassembled from a nasty accident and its waiting to be restored. I like that there are many similarities between the ZX7R and the ZX6R and you tought and showed me many things and prepare me for the awesome adventure im gonna have with my bike.

Well done lad…

Very detailed work, nicely done! I had a lot of used motorcycles over the years and this is how they should all be restored. I wouldn't have enough patience to do what you are doing but I am performing my own maintenance though. To me, the most important aspect on a motorcycle is for it to be able to start and carry me from A to B. Everything else is luxury :P I think I am a little bit stressed up by the number of cases where I was stranded and had to call the tow truck :D Waiting for the next video, Tom. Good luck!

No need, he is already going the extra mile. If it was a very high mileage engine then I would do that, but even on my 2000 ZX9r I didn't do half of this when I had the head off last year as it was only on 22k miles and well maintained. I did sort out the valve clearances though.

Great work, Tom! Thanks for the tip with the water bowl. I also like the small internal diameter measuring tools. Do you have any link for them?

The clocks show 21k, but the MOT history is flakey. I have a feeling it’s not the original engine, hence why I’m doing a full health check, but so far I’ve not found anything that suggests it’s been to the moon and back 😂

I thought that the shims will need replacement after lapping of the valves? Since you take away material the measurements will be different right?

@tomsworkshopprojects

Yeah that’s my thinking, which is why I didn’t bother checking them on the strip down, as I knew they’d all change after lapping, I’m hoping they’ll be some that can switch around, or that I already have in stock 🤞
