Maybe put a old box with a cushion in it at the bottom of the press & make a spacer for the crank web good luck pal

thanks for the video - helped me see what's involved in the process :) did you ever do the video on how to make sure the crank runs true/is aligned?
I like your dial gage set up. I need one like it and hope I won't need it. How common is crankshaft spreading? Just wondering.
What about XS650 crankshaft rephase (270 or 277 degrees)?
Do have any idea how to do that, Sir?
I m been trying to find video about that.
Hi have a look here SmedSpeed explains a bit as they do the lot - www.smedspeed.co.uk/crank.html
I'm sure glad you put this up. I may have to do this. ( Gotta figure out how post a pix on here to show you my engine lift hooche) I got a question that may be related to this video. I have my engine out and on a stand. I pulled the plugs and turn it over using the kick start. It makes a sound like Clock-Clock. I know what a double knock means on a car. What should these engines sound like turning them over with no plugs?
The clock-clock sound is more or less what I got with the worn little ends, they don't have to be worn much to make a racket either. With any weird noise its always best to tear down the top end and have a good look around.
@@OldBiker Yep, I'll do that. Oh, can't post a pix on CZcams. Has to be a video.
Is there a company that makes the plates for pressing your own crankshaft like that?
I couldn't find one, but now I work for a sheet metal company, I may ask about getting some made.
Did you ever do a video on how to true it?
Thats coming on the next crank video, hopefully in the next couple of months
Hey. Where are you based? I need this job done on my Xs and could use your help. Thanks.
Hi Tris I'm based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire
Your lucky doing it with 20 ton press you suppose to use 30 ton and why hasten your press come with press plate's they usually come with press plate's ?
20 seemed to be OK and I couldn't find anything bigger for the price I wanted to pay, yeah it come with press plates but the press plates were rubbish and not man enough for the job, I've since purchased much better ones.
@@OldBiker thinking of getting this one and maybe had a extra set of two press plate's i want to rebuild my crank myself just got new rod kit on its way so if i get one of these it will be ok if i ever need my bearings pressing or anything else will come im handy.So their crap you say the press plate's they look quite thick on the picture too Orwell thanks for reply pal
@@officialmysteriousrider6327 Next vid I do I will show you the new plates compared to the ones that come with it, oh the press by the way is well useful for pressing in and out bearings, I've already done several jobs on it and it is well worth the money the time it saves. My favorite tool of the month though has to be the cordless impact wrench!
@@OldBiker yes seems ok pal and yes iam gunner get a impact myself ive got a windy gun but its weak for most things and yes will be ok about video cheers bud
