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. :-)

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.
