The Grand Finale! -Part 6 ( Honda C90 FULL RESTORATION )

ITS FINALLY FINISHED!, In this episode you will see it running and driving :)

This episode begins with a part that a lot of people were really curious to see restored and that part is the engine. The Honda C90 engine is a pretty simple little engine to reassemble and if your interested in learning about engines and how they work i would highly recommend that you buy one of these engines and disassemble and reassemble it as you will learn a lot about the basics pf how engines work from it.

Anyway The first step in the building process is to assess all the parts make sure everything is within spec and is present before building then its a case of assembling it all in the correct order and of course dont forget to use lots of build oil when building as you dont want any metal to metal contact when you first fire up the engine again.

Once built up it was time to put it back in the frame. the aperture edges were masked up to prevent any paint chipping then the engine was jacked into place and bolted up. After this was done the sprocket and chain were fitted and tensioned up to there correct sag and then the rear spindle was torqued to spec like i said i would do in the last episode ;).

Then it was simply a case of working through the bike methodically fitting all the ancillary items like, chain guards,rear pegs,lights,casings,horn, finishing the wiring etc after these jobs were complete i turned my attention to the detail items that truly make this a top class restoration, like refitting all the oem stickers in there oem places.

Then came the fun and nerve racking part, would it fire into life? Im glad to say after a few kicks it roared into life and i could get a drive on it again and did the best filming i could in the weather and lighting conditions.

So i hope you've enjoyed this series of videos as much as i have filming them for you and as usual there will be plenty more videos to come on the Really Random Channel.

See you all again soon
