I love how real you are. Just like you said. So many people lie to you. Or hide things. I’m just getting into atv’s and mechanics. And I love to watch you and a small handful of other people that do what you do. Keep chasing your passion and being real. Make ATV’s great again!!!!!

Most channels don't take the time to show or explain this kind of stuff. The nice thing is all of this knowledge translates to any engine build. It has helped me gain confidence with my current vintage motorcycle engine tear down. Great job!

Dude this is so awesome to hear! Thanks so much for sharing this and I'm glad my videos have helped you.

In regards to the loose cylinder head - Someone made a really good point that the OEM studs may have a midsection that is thicker and that that is why the holes seemed too large in my cylinder head. I do have OEM studs on hand and I tested this - the OEM studs do have a midsection that is not threaded but it is not thicker than the all thread studs I used. Here is the OEM stud part number - 90116-08394-00 - You can see in pictures the OEM stud actually appears to be thinner in the unthreaded section. The more you know.

It should be, as if the bolt is thicker in the midsection - it creates a stress riser that will mean you will have a heartbreaking snapped bolt after a rebuild or two

Michael, you deserve way more subscribers. Not every day do you come across hour long engine build videos and they are actually highly detailed yet entertaining. The amount of effort put into your videos is actually insane.

Bearings should always be tapped in with a one piece tool that fits the OD of the bearing, they make installer kits. Seals always get installed with the flat surface facing away from the liquid. Bearings all have numbers on them, it is usually universal and can me looked up on the internet for size. I worked at a two cycle motor shop when I was school, I machined and rebuilt motors all day long, usually 4-6 per day depending on the motor. I learned fast to check parts before assembly. The “Philips” head screws are actually JA screws, look the same but require a different driver.

I've wanted to see a blaster build for so long and you're really doing the best one in KZread. Thanks for taking the time to document, film, edit and post your work. I hope your channel keeps growing.

You are really the best Michael, its so cool that you show when shit doesnt go your way and like you say a lot of youtubers only show the sunny site like there are never problems, wrong parts and stuff like that, but everybody that does or has really worked a lot with engines with scooters or quads knows these problems, no matter how good and meticolous you work, shit will happen, to show it just says a lot about your personality, i really really appreciate that very much, and how you deal with problems shows how good you really are. like said ten times before i love your videos dude, keep on ! you could easily make a tv show!

major props for getting the granite master flat. so many people try to do heads and things on a workbench and do more damage than good. could have put the crank in the freezer and slightly warmed the bearing for easier crank install.

Started watching you after I rebuilt the top end on my blaster before u started on yours wanted too work on one so bad bought a blaster frame scavenged for months finding all the engine components and this video has made everything so easy thanks mike 👌

Love watching engine builds I remember when I took a small engine class in high school and it was so much fun taking it apart and putting it together lots of work and you really need to pay attention to all the part

It's nice how you show real life issues. How the rollers fell out of the bearing is what actually happens even if your being super careful it's no different installing ujoints in a driveline I've had a few fall out and decided to send it and never had a issue with that ujoint for thousands of miles. Love the vids bro

Had a similar issue on my ‘’83 RM250 with crank case. Case halves went together but crank was tight spinning. Ended up being crank web width was out of spec to wide. Had my crank builder redo it and was all good. Learned to double check everything before assembly. Now I will check bearings too. Awesome build Mike. Cheers.

Seals should always have the cavity on the pressure side.

I really love your attention on spec you do a great job when you build bro...keep on keeping on...great video 🤟🏻🙏💯

Generally speaking with the bearing seals the Channels are on the inside facing the bearing, this is for two reasons the flat outside gives a good support for the shaft that is entering the bearing as these seals are usually laced inside with tiny wires to aid strength, if you pull an old one apart you will see the wires inside for support, with the channel inside facing the bearing this acts like a small grease trap so the bearings remain lubricated as much as possible, I.E when you switch the engine off that seal will hold a small amount of oil inside so upon first start up the oil will be there straight away to lubricate the bearing off the bat, this is generally what I have learned and have applied to all my vehicle work, not saying it’s gospel and to be taken as sure but I haven’t had a premature bearing failure as of yet, hope this helps for the future and people reading this…… again always love the videos……. Smashing out the work and top quality videos too 👍

It looks amazing Mike, big difference from how it looked..great job like always..you never disappoint

Mike doesn’t miss

When I installed my crank I used a 40mm 1" drive socket and a small section of pipe. I slid the socket over the crank shaft then I slid the pipe on and found a nut that threaded onto the crank and just slowly tightened the nut and it pulled the crank right in place. It worked a treat. But I'm going to have to pick up one of those tools from tusk for my next round of rebuilds.

Badass brother love the videos keeps me motivated

Looks great Mike! I would have lost it , if I had to strip the engine again! You handled it well!Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see the final product 👍👍👍

Hey sabo, I know your all about quads. I am also. Can you give us a shop tour?? Like a video made to telling us everything you have to do the amazing things you do. I have started my own little shop for all things with a motor. I’d like to see your shop and what stuff you use. ❤❤

I missed this video but I'm glad it finally got recommended

Nice build and great attention to detail!👊🇺🇸

thank you for the quality content 🤘🏼

Nice build as usual! I'm interested to see what type of longevity you get from this cheap kit. I'm willing to bet that this motor will run well and take a beating. The difference will be the attention you put into your builds. I like the humility you have and that you illustrate that anyone can do this stuff on their own with patience and the right tools and techniques. Cheers brother!

Love the video as always. I'm only 15 min or so in and thought I'd comment after your honesty rant from the 3 bearing pins coming out. I went and bought a Lakota 3 or 4 days ago in Allentown PA. I was motivated from your Lakota videos. The facebook ad said the quad ran great. I made the 2.5 hour drive one way and the seller put on a show for me. He cranked the machine for at least 5 minutes killing the battery. He swore he was just riding the machine before I got there. I was able to get out of him that he only owned the machine for a couple weeks and replaced the side cover where the reverse lever shifter and sprocket are(rtv was everywhere) and bolts were missing. Then I discovered while I was there that it's not getting spark. I'm thinking when he replaced the cover some reverse sensor got installed wrong as the reverse light on the dash/handlebars won't go out no matter if it's in reverse, neutral, or 1st gear etc.. anyway... I've added up $110 so far in just bolts this guy or someone removed from this machine and didn't put back. He came down on the price and I ended up buying a Polaris Sport 400 from him too so... I was entertained with his antics and made it work. Maybe it's the people who are right in the middle are the most irritating, I love your stuff and I also enjoyed dealing with the guy who went hard with the dishonest ad! He was like the $1/hr plus a case of beer to fix your quad guy and you never get it back or if you do get it back it's apart in boxes and you're the $250/hr guy who builds your bike to perfection and doesn't charge for extra time if you make a mistake and have to fix it. Anyhow, keep up your good work, the good content, and the funny sound effects and humor WITH the attention to detail. Good stuff!!

I been with you since 45k subs. I liked watching your builds cuz it was the same stuff I did years ago. I said it back when I started watching keep doing your thing and you'll go as far as you want. I would run that thing as is and see how does then tear back down and do your flywheel, porting and performance work. It would showcase what ya get on a budget and what ya can have with alil time, effort and patience.

Dude youre awesome!!!

These builds are so satisfying to watch. Can't wait for top quad and I think this will need a big bore kit in the future, way to nice to keep at stock power. Hey we also need an update how you like the new truck!

Mr. Sabo I really appreciate you attention to detail and all these builds. My 13yr old son and I enjoy these videos and he is itching for me to return from Korea to find a quad for him.

Might just be me but I actually like seeing you have problems especially when you show the fix it keeps you real everyone else edits it out these blaster vids really helped me and my sons we are in the process of building 3 blasters again great content

Youre a good teacher bro ive seen maky engines apsrr but never new anytjing about the forks snd the shift drum id never figurr that out on my own and i work on all my own machines except if it gets way too much or needs machining. Thanks dog

Good stuff, showing the error on the bearing. Not just that you were honest about chancing the fix, but it shows the potential danger of using a socket at a bearing driver. That kind of stuff happens to everybody. And I mean EVERYBODY. You probably just saved some 15 year old kid 3 months of leaf raking money. Good Stuff.
