I think this is an amazing method. He has a jig that matches the case. The case is (should be) square with the crank. This is a very accurate way to ensure a concentric bore. I knew a machinist who used this method and attested that he has seen runout from a factory cylinder greater than 15 thou. You can even hear the runout just melting away lol. Kudos.

@bsatom The base of the cylinder is chucked and perfect, it's the zoom focusing in and out. This isn't his first camping trip. Ignore the pulsing noise, that's a false positive assessment.

You have get an oversize piston from an authorized or after-market supplier. Only worked on 70/80's Japanese bikes (no offense intended, a bike is a bike is a bike) but the principle is the same. Pistons 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 & 1.0 mm over-sized were available. This guy's going up over 3 mm (3.75 to 3.875 in. huge).

So many people sit here and don't even really watch closely......they just assume is wobbles....If you look closely the camera is constantly trying to focus on the rotating block......It is NOT the machine or block itself wobbling, but just the camera constantly refocusing.

@phranklyn its running in reverse based on the side the cutter is working if it were rotating counter clockwise it would be vibrating and chattering like none other also not to mention it wouldn't really be cutting

@D4L33tz0r same, the bearings are all shot on our schools. There is so much play in them that the tool vibrates while cutting leaving a horrible finish

@Mrpsychotehpyro not that comes to mind, but he couldve put the other 2 jug bolts in the jug, torqued them down to engine spec and maybe wrap a large wet cloth around the cyl to help with the chatter
