Hello sir help me my ducati 848 evo timing disturb real timing how to set please tell the reason
Looks like it is basically the same engine as in Monster 1100 and Multistrada 1100....
Hello sir please help me
tx :) 😎
is the torque spec for both of the Primary gear pair 190 Nm? Or is it just for the smaller one 190 Nm?
Very usefull information. Video's a bit yellow though.
Nellie good pickup re the broken collet on the vertical head. Have you come across that before. Thanks again for sharing. 👍👍👍👍😎 (HOKITIKA STH WESTLAND NZ)
Hi Kris, Yes, I have come across this a few times with the wire type collets, this is why they should be replaced whenever I do valve clearances/maintenance.
I found 2 broken collets when checking the valves on my 1100 DS engine. Interesting that one came up here.
Great video,always I pleasure to watch 👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍glad you enjoyed the video 😊
bonjours desmowerx, could you give me the valve set for a monster 996 s4r from 2004........... I re-assemble the engine this summer..... Thank you for your videos . Little you give me your measurements in millimetres.merci and a cuckoo of france.
Do you mean the valve clearances?
That was a unexpected treat for Sunday night 👍
Hope you enjoyed it 😊
Whoouuuuww! Faaantastic job! I am learning a lot! Thank you very much for it!
You're very welcome, glad the videos are of use to you 😊
Faaanstatic! As a owner also of two ST2s, I am looking to all from you. Great work and great videos! I can learn a lot! Thank you very much for it!
Glad you like them 👍😎
Super
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 😎
Super
Thanks for watching 👍😎
Did you finally find out the problem with this bike? And did you sell it, now when you have stopped racing, or did you keept it for trackdays?
It was the ignition pick up, still have the bike but not decided what to do with it yet, I seem to hoard bikes 🤣
@@DesmoWerx Great the bike is ok again. Me too, I have four bikes now...difficult to sell. One is good for trackdays, the other for touring, one for dirty roads, one is exellent for having a passenger...
HI Desmo, Nice video again! you help me when i changed the belt on my 1198. So i would like change my brake hoses.What is product is it custom or standard for ducati ?I've seen banjo 20 degrees at the master cylinder and straight at the calipers, but could you tell me about the lengths?were can i buy the same ? many thanks for your great job and videos. Regards Frank
After being released from my retainment period by his kings men I managed to start my 1098 after it standing for 18months.unfortunatly on a tanks worth of fuel it manage to burn most of the engine oil.im no mechanic but after watching you videos a few times it's given me the confidence to remove the engine to find the cause. Thanks for posting vids...
Glad you are finding them useful, hope you get your bike sorted 👍
Great video. Call me paranoid but I never put flame to cast aluminum . Use a heat gun . Just me . Warm up the entire case with heat gun ..... bearings practically fall out . Blind hole puller gets in there no issues ....also when installing new bearings they go in the freezer for a few hours , warm up the cases .... bearings will drop in without need of a press .....
I do have a heat gun as well, however never had a problem with either approach of heating the cases. 😊 I mainly use the press to ensure that the bearings are fully seated and squared up true, I used to use the same approach you have used but you then have to wait a while for the cases to cool down to properly preload crank and set up the gear box.
Great Video! I just found out that my s2r 800 has glitter/metallic oil, other than that it runs good. Tried flushing it but no change. How would you proceed? Teardown first and see whats wrong? Ride it till it fails? Find a different engine?
What did you find in oil filter itself? Did the sump plug have lots of material as well? Personally I would flush the engine a couple of times with a cheap oil to see if the metallic debris reduces before I committed to a full strip. As for what to do it comes down to mechanical ability, I would rebuild so you retain matching numbers, plus you know its good, another engine may have its own issues.
I have a Ducati Scrambler sixty2 that I bought last December, no problems with it and hopefully never will, I'm used to 70's Japanese bikes so this is new territory for me, every day is a school day as they say, great vlog learning basically how a Ducati 2 valve per cylinder works. Thanks from a new subscriber.
Welcome to the channel, hope you are enjoying the Scrambler 👍😊
Hello I really need your help. I try to restart my 996 (after 12 years in a garage) and I was working on the front fork when I discovered that both right and left "dark grey bush or washer" of the collar spring or spring coupling -are broken -> sorry there are so many different ways to call 1 part (we can see the part in your video at 7:14). DUCATI have stopped to produce this spare part and it seems to be unavailable everywhere. Have you already change this spare part when you refurbish a fork ??
Did you get round to splitting the cases in the end? I have rebuilt 2 of these engines before, 1299s and panigale R which basically have the same architecture and I am not sure how it’s possible to split the cases without the cylinder liner puller tool from ducati which is quite expensive! I ended up buying one from the dealer as I couldn’t find any for sale!
I have not got round to this part of the strip down, but I am likely going to buy the tools following looking at the manual and as I may end up working on a couple more of these engines in the near future.
Hi, very nice playlist, I enjoyed every bit of it. I just adquire a St2 1998 model myself and I have some work to do on it, so this series will be a fantastic help for me!! Many many thanks for the time you have invested to share your work with others!
Glad the videos were useful to you, thanks for watching them 😎
Any suggestions for my 01 monster 750 Output shaft bearing on lh side of case failed Bearing cage broke , ball bearing fell out and bearing race fractured in pieces. No damage to parts but bearing mounting hole got a little marred. Gonna use loctite 660. Should I just replace the bad bearing or should I do the opposite side as well?
Personally if I were taking the cases apart as I needed to replace the bearing I would look at replacing them all. Other than the main bearings they are quite inexpensive to replace, and if its apart anyway why not take the time to cover all bases.
Hi Nellie, great content, thanks for taking the trouble to post, are you taking on new customer engine rebuilds and whats your contact details ? Thanks
Thanks for watching, I am taking on some limited work, you can reach my via Insta or via the channel details page 😊
Thank you Sr.
Your welcome 😊
Nice. If worn valve guides, do you replace them and recut the seats on your own?
No, I have the valve guide tools but not the capability to align the valves correctly so would outsource the valve seats to get cut.
Firstly I'll say I'm subscribed and I enjoy all the video's and are a good source of info for heaps of us, however this belt install procedure has an element missing I'd consider important. The factory cam tools have locked in the cams to clock them at TDC but you dont have the crank accurately locked at TDC, I believe there is a factory locking tool for this as well. Cams could easily be advanced or retarded to TDC, without the extra tool. JMO :)
You are correct there is a tool to hold the bottom end in place, however its quite hard to turn over the bottom end without the turning tool once its built up and I do this often enough that I am comfortable in the way I am doing it. Pre 749/999 there was no tool and that's how I cut my teeth doing it. That being said at only £40 its worth buying the tool if you are doing it yourself.

This same fitment multistrada 1200 s 2014
Вы молодец. Спасибо, что показываете свою работу! Так держать!
Thanks for watching 👍😊
Nice video, but where did you get the tools for undoing the nut holding the cam drive pulley on. That went a bit fast.
I made one from a 25 mm hole saw. Ground teeth off and cut slots.
I got a replica holding tool and the socket from ebay
Nellie, thanks for that, very informative. Interesting small puller you're using on the head, is it home made or factory. 👍👍😎 (HOKITIKA STH WESTLAND NZ)
Hi Kris, its a copy of the factory tool, I think I got mine via Laser tools. There are a few copies available on ebay. 😊
Hello 👋🏼 , I have a Ducati 1098. I fell over on the grass on the race track on my left side. It bent the gear lever. I replaced it. I no longer have a stop in first gear. If I keep pressing in first gear, the gearbox rattles. Normally there would be a stop in first gear so that you can't press any further. In my case, you can press and it rattles. All other gears can be shifted normally. What could this be? How or where is the mechanical stop for first gear? If someone knows anything about the gearbox, it would help me a lot. Where is the stop for first gear? Thank you very much for your help. Gary
There is a stop within the channels on the shift drum, although there will be a certain amount of play in this, not enough to go past the gear but certainly enough to put pressure on the gearbox and make noise. My initial area to check would be that the shift fork has not been bent or dislodged due to the crash, if this is not set correctly it will have an impact on how far the shift drum can and cannot move.
This is worth waiting 🏍️
Glad you enjoyed it 👍😎
Easy to follow videos again and good angles for seeing the steps, very much appreciated 👍 The tangs on the rocker arms were a god send when they came in - worked on my pantah 600 and having to remove the rocker arms just for shimming up was a royal PITA
Sounds like bevelheads experience if not mistaken
@@xyesman5519 600SL pantah was early belt drive,, although would be nice to work on a bevel
Thanks a bunch for putting the work into this series.
My pleasure, glad you are enjoying it 😊
love these vids🙂
Thanks for watching 😎
Well done sir 👌
Thanks 😊
Is it customary to replace the head bolts on re-assembly? My 748 SPS has some 200psi compression (cold), which is higher than standard as far as I know, and just wondered what the normal methods are for increasing compression and if that effects the type of head bolts Ducati uses?
I have not used any other type of head bolts and nuts as the Ducati ones have not been an issue for me. Your compression reading is high. Compression can easily be increased by using thinner cylinder base gaskets or if you are on the earlier head gasket which is a 1mm thick gasket you could use a thinner later one. If you did this work you would need to check squish and Valve to Piston clearance.
I think a past owner of my 748SPS has used a thinner head gasket - with that high compression she's hard to start. If I do tear her down, could I re-use the headbolts? (or do they stretch in the original tightening?). Your channel is so helpful to us lovers of these desmoquatros.
Appreciate your video, what is the fault compression reading?
Thanks for watching. The compression test was done for the owner by another technician so I don't have the specific readings.
Gday mate, my manual says 155cc by volume and doesn’t mention anything about 155mm. How did you get the info for measuring 155mm. Cheers Steve.
Its on the Ohlins service card for the FG5110 fork. Use 400 cm3 of oil with an air gap of 155mm
Hello Desmo, many thanks for your awesome videos & content ! 👏 With reference to this video in particular, i.e. adding an oil cooler to a Ducati that didn't come with one - will this work on a 2012 Ducati Monster 696 ? The lower case on my 2012 Monster 696's engine has the two "plugs" for oil output & input & even the frame has the brackets for an oil cooler. I have an oil cooler from a 2012 Monster 1100 Evo - just wanted to know if I should be wary of anything while fitting it to my 696 ? Any pearls of wisdom are appreciated 👍
I have never specifically done it on a 2 valve as most of my work until recently has been working/modifying 4 valve engines. But if its the same as for the conversion on the 4 valve it may be possible, all you are doing is extending the oil path/route by adding a cooler, it would obviously use slightly more oil at each fill up.
do you have a link for the cam locking tools and engine turnover tool for 848 EVO ?
Hi Great content Just watching your videos on cam belt changes What brand & where could I source a set of cam locking tools as used in your video for 2004 999 Thanks
Made that look easy😅 where can i find the engine stand you have?
Thanks 😎 the stand is a Pierobon stand, they may still have them available on their website.
11:10 This video is really clear and helpful, thanks! Only one thing I’m confused by, my 2010 848 (non Evo) has different cam positions for the vertical cylinder at horizontal TDC. They actually sit in the same position as an 848 evo or 1198. Did Ducati change the cams/cam locks on the last of the 848s?
Not that I am aware of, the 848 and 1098 had the same timing tool positions throughout its production run as far as I am aware. The 848 Evo and 1198 changed the positioning for the timing tools. Might be worth checking if you have 848 Evo cams fitted.
@@DesmoWerx Thanks, will check in the winter season when I check valve clearances. But this is seriously strange as it’s an otherwise bog standard very low mileage 848 that came from John Hackett (Coventry Ducati). I can’t imagine it would run with the timing that far out if it had standard 848 cams..
6 speed box, 800 heads, high comps?
At the moment the aim is a standard rebuild, trying to keep costs acceptable to the owner he just bought a new cylinder piston combo at a good price to replace the damaged horizontal.
Your vids are so tasteful. Where can I find a set of h n v cam stabilizing tools like you use on that 848 . For a 1200 multistrada . To lock in the correct cam time positions . Do they make those 2 tools for a 1200 multistrada 2012 ????
Dear Sir, I watched your teardown of the Ducati engine with great interest a real pleasure to watch and learn, thank you for posting it
Thanks glad the videos are of interest to you 👍😎
Great strip down , great job👍
Thanks for watching 🙂
Have episode 2 been done yet?
Not yet, lots of work on with customer engines at the moment. I have got some more of the tooling so will hope to squeeze in another video soon
