You don't let anyone tell you that something isn't possible, and that's why you shine brother. Keep it up!
i've done some stuff on my dirtbike people told me not to do, it still holds up to this day after about 6months when i rebuilt it and it's a daily ripper:)
challenge the doubters
Makes me turn around and perform the supposed impossible task.
Nothing is impossible. Lots of work though
My motto on life!! Amen!
Mad respect! I would never get that far into a engine without being scared I couldn’t put it back together. By the looks of it you know what you are doing and I have faith you will have this bike running in no time! Keep it up brother!
.012" is a LOT of gap! Build it back up and dress it down with a good straight file, making sure not to take down the areas around it.
This. It would be easier to address with a milling machine, but a shadetree alternative would be to get a sanding block (one that is about 12" ought to work) and start sanding down that area with a perfectly flat cutting surface (the sand paper on the block). Use sharpie or some markings on the mating surface adjacent to the repaired area so that way you know when to stop sanding and have achieved the right "depth".
@@jw11432 even still, you better have some f****** skill if you think you're going to get that s*** within perfect tolerances. Like op said 012 is a lot of Gap but it's also like one swipe of a piece of sandpaper
Allen Millard would be very proud of you...lol Everything can be fixed, just a matter of feasibility. I'd still keep that one for parts and find a better donor, not like they're hard to find. Go ahead and delete that air injection system (garbage), either block off plates or drill and tap the ports 5mm and put screws in them. At the very least have a machine shop center bore those cases and might as well get them to mill the mating surfaces where you welded, nothing too expensive. Make sure you shim all the valves for clearance before you finish. Torque on the cam caps is very important. I have a factory service manual on PDF if you need one. I also still have some random Busa parts laying around. Back in my younger days I did alot of work on these busas including turbo installs, still the highest potential motorcycle engine ever produced, a true engineering feat from Suzuki. I've seen these motors make almost 900hp on boost. A viable stock motor is good for about 310hp, any further than that and you are in no man's land. Good luck with it, brings back lots of good memories from my younger days watching you work. If you need anything I might have contact me.
I think the only criticism would be to preheat that block and really get the area clean with acetone. Otherwise good work man!
@@pewdsbetterthantseires84 throw them in the BBQ. Mr Millyard’s videos are full of useful tips and I can’t even weld!
Allen Millard was my first thought too !
A young Alan Millyard for sure! Time is more precious with the skills you have than any cash you can chuck at an unknown entity!
Funny, I came to the comment section to ask him if Allen Millyard was his hero
In hood arc shots are okay like a couple seconds here or there, but not at the detriment of the build or your inconvenience. Phenomenal, just keep doing what you do and I’ll always have a 👍 for your outstanding efforts!
I think it is great that you took the initiative to repair that engine block. Never say never, you don't know what you can do until you try. I think it turned out great, but I would add some material to that low spot so it's ready for whatever you want to throw at it.
I think it’ll be fine as long as you don’t boost it. You should be proud of the results man , not many people would even attempt that repair 👍🏼👍🏼
Don't boost it? Why? You do realised top fuel blocks are welded up constantly.
That's my opinion too!
@@garyhowe88 yea but it’s right where the cases meet
@@snaxgalore5764 there's people making 1000hp+ with boosted busa's. I'd see no issue running that at 350hp.
@@snaxgalore5764 that's usually where the damage is
The hardest thing with welding the cases is the gasket surfaces not leaking......i would bolt the cases together when i weld to minimize warpage
interesting suggestion. how do you keep the weld separate where the cases come together?
How about just clamp two steel barriers along both sides of the aluminium welded plate patch, align with a straight edge, then flat file close to steel. 🙂
@@kevinim300 obviously you cannot do 100% of the weld...the gap he has here is also a structural issue with the cases...it will likely shit out the silicone...maybe not
This was 17 minutes well spent. Very impressive welding!
This is the type of shit that separates those who achieve greatness, most people can’t imagine having this level of perseverance. Great job man, whether it works or not you don’t have to wonder if it would’ve.
Bud this is how You succeed in life. You dont let ANYONE Tell you, that You cant do something.. You Figure a Way to do it and You will Go FAR...and Succeed. Great Job Bud. Cant wait to see what You do with it...Great Welding..And Video...
All I can say is if you don't try to fix something you will never know if it can be fixed or saved. GREAT JOB never let anyone tell you different that's what keeps diy people on their toes working outside the box.
They didn’t know you’re a beast 🔥 You laid own some dimes
💯🙏🏻
This is pretty rad 😃. You saved this motor from potentially being ground up in a scrap yard. Right on!
"I can't get a hold of the previous owner" ahahahahahahahahaha *tears* I'm in stitches just imagining the guy's caller ID showing your number, and him looking at it: "Nope! Uh, uh, not gonna take that [*************'s] call! No way, no how, nope I ain't. You bought it, lalalalalala
"All I'm seeing is what I'm seeing, and there's nothing more!"
Well, there hardly was any more which could be borked than what we saw here.
Good on you that you had the mindset to fix it. Any damages can be fixed, given the right mindset. I wouldn't have bothered, but I'm impressed by what you have done 👍
The slight tolerances in a high revving engine are no joke. I re-built my gsxr-1000. Only play with forces you fully understand. Especially when you only have 2 wheels.
Yea no way he got that sand/sugar out of the oil galleries w/o a shop so that motor is toast regardless.
Mad engine builders from Indonesia once weld a single cylinder motor into a star engine(radial 5 piston) with basically the same tools & skills you've did.
And that engines hold for as long as the internal parts work in harmony.
They do resurface the entire flat surface like the engine case, welded blocks, and welded heads so the parts would fit precisely between flat surface in case of multiple inline configuration engine.
Super impressed with your determination and skill on tackling this project. Love the welding shots, can't wait to see the rest of the series.
This might be my new favorite channel. I've never seen a guy bring a torn down engine to a car wash. This is awesome. :)
Great job on welding the block! And awesome video! To fix that gap just run some beads over the top of the metal and fill it up. Then just sand the surface down flat! I’ve seen it done many times on cylinder heads it should work there too! Keep up the good work😎
For what it's worth I have been a mechanical engineer for more than 30 years. In that time I have seen far more professional welders who would have done a far worse job than you. All big and boogery. What you did here was masterful. You give yourself way less credit than you deserve. You're better than you think. You just need to relax and let it flow. Make it a sort of Zen thing you know? A little more practice and you might be able to weld 2 soda can halves together without blowing through anywhere which Incidentally is extremely good to practice with. You master that and you'll make yourself a fortune if you can weld soda cans like that. It's a hell of a trick at an interview.
I am impressed with the fix. I think that'll work fine! Keep it up man. I'm excited to see how this project moves along
I'm so excited for this build. I hope you can fix that block!! Good luck man, keep up the good work
Can’t believe you went into that engine! Like a boss!
I for one really enjoyed this episode! I learned a lot and am excited to see this busa back on the rode!!!! Nice work Vasily
You are very gifted, I like seeing you prove people wrong. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate that!
@@VasilyBuilds Dont underestimated that things you can do as easy as breathing. that's your natural talent brother. use it to the max!!
Welding always amazes me...and you're damn good at it. Can't wait to see what direction you go with this build.
Wow very skilled young man wow!! Amazing work
I rebuild my hayabusa when it got crashed. Took me 2 months. It drives better now than whot it did before. Seeing you rebuild your engine brings back memories. Cheaper to rebuild it when it's done you know everything works great.
Watching you weld, I kept thinking "I'd sure like to see how he's doing that up close". And Bang! You showed us!! Good job!
You’re amazing bro.. I’ll wait to the next video until you finish that big guy bro.. Ride safe…💪🏍
I remember a couple years back when you were just getting started. Really came a long way since then. I appreciate your efforts!
Looks good to me man! The fact that you've got the knowledge and equipment to do what do; can't go wrong! I appreciate the video.
Great job dude! I like seeing you tackle what most said cannot be done.
love your channel man , you have so much passion for making things work
Nice job on repairing the block. I like the arc shots!!
your an amazingly determined young dude. Keep it up man with that trait the world is yours👍
Great amount of knowledge and skill from this young man. Nice work!
If you wanted to fix that gap, you could always add some weld to the top and grind it or cut it down till it's tight
well done man! just do it! if you fail, you tried and gained experience. this is, what i respect - try yourself, repair it. everybody else can buy a new one, this shows no skill. much respect for you
I've been watching for years. The improvement of your skills and ability is epic. Each video is impressive. Love watching the content keep it up boss 👌
The welds look good to me, I used to weld a lot of Marine stuff in Miami about 20 years ago. I would have used a file instead of the jitterbug to cut the edges of the cases down. You may want to build up the edge and file it flat. It looks good though.goodluck.
Didn’t really know what to expect from your channel; I’m a rider so the bike got me interested… the welding and engine rebuild got me hooked! Subscribed. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Really impressed young fella, and love your 'give it a go attitude'. Back in the bad old days we often didn't have an option but to repair it ourselves. My only advice is when it comes to mating surfaces just take more time and care. You can get them really close tolerance if you do. Just find yourself a piece of thick sheet glass as a flat base and once you get it reasonably close with a hand file or similar use sandpaper and a texta to shave off the high spots till you get it perfect. It ain't rocket science.
Dude you skills with the welder are awesome. I watch your videos years ago when you first got a mig. Definitely done good...
Hats off man, that’s awesome welding!!! - The hard shots were cool to see the welding in process!!
I believe in anything you do or say. You’ve came a long way. For such a young guy, your skilled. Let the haters hate while you do you. It’s all good brother keep it coming!!
Man you got really lucky with that blocks casting. It's so clean. I personally am a welder and do cast blocks often and yours is pretty well the best you can expect for cleanliness. Good job with the welds!
Amen, I know a clean weld when I see one
Wow, gr8 job on wielding the engine block; luv the arc shots. Anyway, ride safe, god bless u.
only channel on youtube that does this shit i love it!
You can put some RTV above and below the gasket at your gap and it will likely be fine; since it's not a head gasket, all it really needs to do is keep the oil from leaking. Worst case scenario, you can always weld over the top side of your patch and then sand it back down again.. If you just take a long block of wood (or something even flatter), and stretch a long piece of sand paper along the full length of your block, it will help you get everything even. Your enlarged gap is there because you used that electric sander only in one spot-- in the center there... Just take a long sanding block and go around your entire deck surface on both sides and that will help to knock everything down just a bit and close your gap. On your final sanding, make sure you are using higher grits-- like 400/ 600/ and 800.. It shouldn't need much sanding-- just a long flat sand block and a little more elbow grease-- Just be patient on your final sanding, so you don't over do it again............
Another trick I've seen people do is to get a large piece of flat glass and put some abrasive valve grinding compound (or something similar)--- and put your entire block on the flat glass and shift it around--- so that you're sanding the entire machined surface at once. (It works well, but the block is big, so that would be more awkward.)
There is no gasket in between the cases and if you sand or remove any material from the cases where they join it fucks up the main bearing journals plus the journals for the transmission shafts as well. He would have to get all the journals line bored to bring them back to round and that would cost more than what the engine is worth.
@@buildingracingvideos4714 RIght on.. He still should have used a long straight edge when sanding that down, to get it as close as possible. I think he can probably RTV silicone the crap out of it and it might hold; since it doesn't look like the seem is at the bottom of the engine, where oil sits... so it's only going to get oil splashing on it. Shouldn't seep too bad. On my CBR 600, I just bought another case half on ebay for $80.. and even though everyone said that it wouldn't work because these cases are made in matching pairs, ect. ect... It bolted up just fine and worked great for thousands of miles and never leaked. I didn't even change any of the bearings or anything. Luckily all the broken spots were only on one half of the case, and I just swapped everything over-- no new parts needed. (it was from a bad wreck and the entire front forks were also caved in-- I got it for $75-- spent $80 on the new case and I had the engine running in a day or two. I ended up stripping off all the broken forks, ect.. welded on a quad swing arm and put the front quad conversion of a Tri-Z three wheeler on the front and made that thing into a four wheeler. I sold it several years later for $1500 and a lot of sand dune trips)
@@calholli personally I'd coat the shit out of it with aviation form a gasket and pray the cases never have to come apart. That shit gets hard and will literally glue the cases together. He should be fine either way. A little oil leak never hurt anyone.
@@buildingracingvideos4714 I'd use aviation form a gasket too. I think 0.012" is about the maximum you could go with it though. That's a pretty big gap. I think it would be better if he built it up a little more with weld and took it back down to under 0.005" gap at least. Especially if he ends up boosting it with a little more blow by.
That face u make when busting bolts loose cracks me up! Haha nice job on the teardown, I'd never get that back together!
Once ya get it together I'd weld that spot. If ya ever want to take it back apart it wouldn't be that hard to do.
Nice job saving it. 🔥👍✌️
Keep up the great work don't rush take it easy enjoying the videos really enjoying them from the UK have a great week
In modern America we have fallen into the replace rather than repair mode. If you have never heard of Alan Minyard, you should check him out. He builds bikes "old school" and has turned out some amazing bikes.
You did a good job vasily!!its gonna hold just fine!!
well done....the head, cams and gearbox are good...that saved a lot of money. I would fill that .012 gap on the sealing surface and machine it flat
I just started watching your channel and so far I think that you do really good work.
Amazing !!! You are a gifted Man,, Thank you for sharing this with us. I am going to follow this build, everything has been fascinating.
Dude, AWESOME looking welds!!
...and it looks like somebody was twisting the ever loving PISS outta that bike when that conrod cap let go...
It really takes some serious abuse to do that to a busa motor, they are so strong on the bottom end. God only knows what they did to that thing......lol
Great video as always. I think that the weld job came out great and will hold perfectly fine. Nice work. Also. nice job plugging your second channel at the end!
U just keep getting better i like all ur projects man. I believe u are destined 4 greatness
Those welds look good. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
I love your tenacity ! dont let anyone tell you cant do it ! you inspire me and I'm almost 50 years old !
Great job young Vasily, keep up the good work.
You the friend, Every friend wished they had. Great job on that rebuild too.
i'm impressed about how do you know all that stuff in that age..! keep up the good work, i believe we are all curious and i look forward to hear the engine of your hayabusa!!!
Keep doing what others won’t attempt! great welding shots keep them coming
You have motorcycle mechanical experience. So that is a key. I blew my 600 gsxr engine and I don't have a clue how to do that much
Excellent work bro. Great fun watching. I know filming while you do your work really slows you down. Appreciate the video 🤙
Heck yeah brother, I can respect you trying to save this engine I mean the majority of people would just scrap it but im a firm believer that if something can be saved then it certainly should be!!!
you are super talented kid dont let anyone ever tell you its impossible if you see light at the end of the tunnel keep going amazing job i hope it works out for you cant wait to see it start up
I am so impressed that you can assemple all thoose parts again ! just wow !
I was doubtful but you exceeded my expectations as suggested. It will probably cost more than a used engine but that's not the best comparison because this engine will be overhauled. Great work!!
looks great man i think you will be fine looks like you got the weld deep enough for it to hold!
it's refreshing watching your hands on approach vs an edited, "perfect" break down for show like the rest
Good work by the camera assistant! :) Looking forward to the next episode
The repair looks way better then I thought it would done well man!
you are very talented my guy. I wish I was at your level, and I've been wrenching for 19 years as a DIYer LOL. keep it up !!!
Vas u out here killing it, keep doing you👏🏾💯
Great job man keep working and believing that you can do what doubters say you can't or shouldn't do .
You are super handy with machines. First time checking your videos and I'm already a fan. May watch a few more to see if anything rubs onto me.
Bro arc shots are the dopest thing I seen all 2022 !
i believe this is the first time i saw someone properly patch a crack hole of engine block, keep up man 👍👍
Love the video! Your very inspirational!
Coming from a welder I would definitely love some more arc shots. I like seeing how you get down in the crevices.
takes some real cajones to weld up a block like that, fantastic stuff! God bless!
Been watching for a while now, got to say I'm very impressed with what you do! In the beginning oh, you know like everybody else, I had my thoughts, and my replies, that I held onto by the way! But I sat tight and I realized people would critique me the same way! So I've been watching through the years, anyway just want to let you know that! Also I like your choice of background music in this particular vid!
Im very impressed with your knowledge for such a young man, well done buddy
When you break down engines and rebuild them, it's elite status. As far as the welding, it will be a lesson for us to see if it works or not. My only concern is that you labeled all the parts as you took them out, I know in car engines, that things like head bolts are essential to be used in the order they came out . Rooting for you Bro, instead of people talking, you're actually doing and trying 👍
It’s All Good! Keep doing what you do💯
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! They said it shouldn't/couldn't be done so what better reason to do it! What fun would it be to just buy a new engine!? This is why we watch 👏👏👏
Should have jet washed them cases after sanding bro good video man !
Good job! Looks pretty good. The gap, I would just build the puddle up a little above the line and then possibly have a machine shop machine it flat, would be perfect smooth and probably pretty cheap! I had a cylinder head resurfaced for 40$
anything can be saved, and you proved that, great video! God Bless
Looks a great job! Well done! I have the gxsr 1000 k2
You proved them wrong the cases look awesome you got this you make it look easy and can't wait to see what you do with this project 👍
As long as it holds for a good while, you should be golden!
I wouldn't have even thought about using this engine again!!! Good luck!!
