Is a caliper an accurate way to measure old shim width if flat face of shim has any concave wear? Micrometer is probably better 👍

@ducatiparts110mb2 ай бұрын

Both caliper and micrometer measure the distance between two areas, not two points, so neither would get into a depression on the 'flat' side of the shim. I agree that the micrometer can measure to a finer resolution, but shims are only available in increments of circa 100x the measuring resolution, so the additional accuracy of the micrometer isn't necessary. Most of all though I've never been aware of a the flat side of a shim wearing to a concave shape.

@@ducatiparts110mb Thanks. I always get a difference when measuring with two different instruments. Find the micrometer to be most accurate. Weirdly I have 4 new shims and only 3 measure the same as the printed size, have you come across this? Makes me concerned that they're not going to make the desired adjustments.

@ducatiparts110mb2 ай бұрын

@@R0ger007 Very occasionally I find shims that measure up differently to the printed size. When buying over the counter I always take my caliper and my old shims with me so I can confirm that the new shims are the right amount over / under the originals before leaving the shop. The fitted clearance matters more than the number printed on the packaging.

Great video. It serves as an instruction for me. It is worth mentioning a slight discrepancy in the alignment of the marks on the sprocket with the T1 mark, which results from a stretched timing chain. The instructions say that you should aim perfectly at the horizontal line above the T1 mark. When the chain is stretched, the marks on the sprocket are not parallel to the housing. When the gear is set parallel to the housing, the T1 mark is set at the height of the letter T1 and not at the height of the horizontal line. I'm doing it for the first time... and my conclusion is that valve clearance should be measured when the gear is parallel to the housing, even if the T1 mark slightly does not coincide with the mark on the housing. Can you confirm that ? Thak You. Paweł.

Am I overthinking this? What if a thinner feeler gauge fits between the cam and the valve... wouldn't that be considerer out of spec too?

@ducatiparts110mb3 ай бұрын

No, if a 0.04mm gauge fits, all that tells you is that the clearance is bigger than is bigger than 0.04mm (as it should be). You need to check at the upper and lower limits, and if the thin one fits and the thick one doesnt then everything is fine, otherwise go thicker or thinner with the gauges to feel the actual clearance then work out the shim you need to bring everything back into spec.

@chrigdichein Жыл бұрын

really good 👍🏽 thanks for the inside. You can ask Honda to change large service to a small on even, so they don’t have to touch the valves at 20t or so, they will be even fine at 50t, in fact no need to adjust them until you hear them I got told

@stalincat2457 Жыл бұрын

That is very poor advice. Normally the wear of the valve vs valve seat makes the valve lash decrease. You cannot hear this. Eventually the valve doesn't make (enough) contact with the seat to dissipate it's heat and the valve will burn or break, ruining the cylinder head (burn) and maybe the cylinder and piston (break). Please don't skimp on preventive maintenance untill you hear things breaking down.

@chrigdichein Жыл бұрын

@@stalincat2457 Yes, but in general on a normal used AT that makes 50t without valve adjustment, wont need a check at 20tkm which reduces the bill from 1200AUD to 300AUD! I am talking about the first 20tkm service. There are two ways uniquely the AT drives its valves, one is the old fashioned way by pushing down a lever on them. If that needs adjustment it will be surely noticeable.

@stalincat2457 Жыл бұрын

I am aware that with Honda engines there's rarely any adjustment necessary. However, telling people that they should just skip it till 50t or until they hear their engine rattle is weird advice. What if I told you it is cheaper to never check valve clearance on a Honda VFR Vtec motorcycle but just ride it till the engine blows and then install a used engine? I may be right but that's just weird advice ;)

Hi Mark and friends, Mad question, I'd like to retrofit a used K1600 engine/gearbox to a used Catherham 7. Would the K1600 be machinacally able to support a Rotrex supercharger to say 250 bhp, without blowing up the rods, crank and gearbox? I would assume stronger clutch plates would be required, but none seems available in the aftermarket.

@ducatiparts110mb3 жыл бұрын

Interesting question. Not sure of the answer. You'd definitely need a bigger than standard radiator - even at stock power levels the cooling is marginal. If the engine could take it, I'd be concerned about the gearbox - a car won't accelerate as quickly as a bike so the gearbox will feel the full force of the increased torque for much longer, and will might either break or wear out more quickly. Suzukis are much more of a known quantity - more people are doing very high power engines so knowledge, spares and turbo kits are much more available. A reliable 500bhp from a Hayabusa engine is doable. I know its a 4 not a 6, but it'll be reliable for much less effort. To answer your question, you might get away with it, but you'll be figuring it out as you go and when it goes wrong it will be expensive.

@@ducatiparts110mb Your right Mark, common sense is go the Suzuki Hayabusa route for reliability and accessibility of parts.

Although the book was written around my 2012 bike, there are no changes to the later bikes that affect the servicing, and the book works for all Explorers except that it does not cover an oil change on the later bikes' electronically damped forks. Despite the minor bodywork differences, it attaches in much the same way and the differences will be clear if you hold the book up against your bike. Changing the coolant is covered in the book.

Hi Mark! I am about to swap my valve cover, as the original is damaged. Is there anything in particular to mind, that you haven't addressed here? You shortly mention the cleaning of the rubber sealings...? Can't it simply be done with a quick swap, leaving all rubbers in place? Also, I cleared my new (second hand) cover from particles, is there any further cleaning that you'd recommend (degreasing, ...)? Thanks!

@ducatiparts110mb3 жыл бұрын

The sealing surfaces need to be degreased to ensure an oil tight seal when you bolt the covers back on, so remove the rubbers and wipe them and the metal surfaces with a solvent based cleaner. If you're replacing a scratched cover then so long as the new cover is clean inside then you won't have a problem, but if the old cover has a hole in it, then you need to ensure that there is no dirt in the engine, and a partial trip down is advisable (at least remove the cylinder head & consider the cylinder as well). If mud and grit has gone down the camchain tunnel you will have problems later, so make sure everything is scrupulously clean inside the engine.
