Most commonly, oil will get to the cylinders through the piston rings if the bike was down for a bit since they have a little slot where it can sip through, had it happen plenty of times at my shop, and dont worry if it happens, its very common, just take the plugs out, crank it and then start it, might take a while to burn all that oil but just get her hot and will be just fine

This video brought an automatic smile on my face after hearing that engine roar to life. Happy to see this problem figured out!

4:48 Ain’t no way that someone actually learned something from WhistlinDiesel 😂😂

It's fun watching you rebuild a bike, because you're not an expert, so we all get to learn at the same time.

Dude the hose clamp and hammer is great, thanks for the tip.

Yess, i've found another video to delay studying for my exams!!

Seeing what it takes just to see the spark plugs on that Honda makes me appreciate my Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 even more.

Got a real good chuckle when you turned that thing over and hosed everything down with oil. I was POSITIVE you were going to cover it with a towel or something before you tried, lol.

Your method if removing oil from the cilinders by cranking it is basically what mechanics do if an engine is hydrolocked. It's also a good idea to disconnect the injectors so they don't inject fuel into the cilinders which instantly gets shot out again and it could even ignite if you're not careful about any open flames nearby.

I once overfilled a ninja 1000 with oil. Rode it all half way to work about 20 miles and it was fine with modest lean angles. I got off the highway and rode up and down a small hill and before I even made it down the hill I noticed a bunch of smoke shooting out the tail pipes. Immediately hit the kill switch and got it towed home. Tore the bike down and realized my screw up once I got the airbox open. Used a suction tool to remove as much oil as possible from the airbox. Knowing that oil had made its way that far I also pulled the spark plugs and used the same suction tool to remove any oil that made its way into the cylinders. Put it all back together and fired it up. The bike burnt off any residual oil and things were back to normal. All I have to say is make sure to read your manual to determine whether the level is check on the side stand or off it balanced vertically....

You used the oil filter tool in the wrong direction my friend

Loving this series man, keep on making great content

Bro just won in life, you've achieved every DIY Mechanics' dream 💖

Design engineers. Giving the middle finger to mechanics since 1885.

Dude, the music that bike made when it finally cranked up was so good. I was so glad for you given how much you'd already spent on parts before verifying whether or not it was a money pit.

[lucianomc]

Amazing. Everybody went woooow here when the bike started. Keep working on it, we all are waiting for the moment that bike gets out for a ride

[Simon-bukc]

try turning the "oil filter removal tool" around ;) they usually work only one way

and the engine temperature doesn't play a huge role when doing a compression test, especially not with "crude" analog gauges

It is a sweet, sweet feeling when you first get an engine to run. Congratulations!
