Came across this 1 hr 44 min long video of Stan Lipert re-assembling an RD400 motor with little explanatory prompts throughout, including him designing and fabbing his own chambers! Super valuable resource!
Excellent video. he makes it look easy. I guess that skill and experience do that. :-)
Nice race machine !!
I watched the entire thing last night. Impressive. I'd venture to guess he's done that once or twice before. :wink:
And it wasn't just an engine rebuild, but also included porting and handmade expansion chambers, followed by a pull on the dyno.
Stan is an incredibly talented and skilled builder, his bikes are beautifully prepared and fast as hell. He is also a very skilled racer, I raced with him back in the Formula RD days, he was one of if not the fastest guys in the class.
