  1. Lord.
  2. Just had to side surf it over........ Haha!
  3. I would avoid said combo.
  4. Just drive it down to Brian at quality powdercoat.
  5. ^ this Todd guy is alright!
  6. That thing is way lean. Lucky it didn't melt down. You need at least a 27.5 pilot, richer needle setting, and I'd start at 290 on the main. JEEZUS, you are lucky.
  7. He meant pics of the chicky.
  8. What finish polish are you using?
  9. So were clear, you can with a 110 rod. Definitely not on a 115 rod.513 and 110 rod intended to be OE deck height. 513 and 110 rod with 4mm stroker and correct spacer intended for OE deck. Using the 513 on any thing longer is just pushing it. There is no way you can cut that much in to a head and keep it alive. I certainly don't think you would consider 5mm of base shim.
  10. ^ that is true, but there is more. When guys first started stroking these things you had the readily available Weisco 513 for banshee cylinders, so they would just do the ol spacer plate to get the cylinder up so it did not clash with the head. This was obviously the standard in engine building for decades as the aftermarket cylinder thing was only then coming to life. Now that there were tons of 110 rod 4mm strokers out there but common issues starts appearing. Oval as fuck bores were showing up every where. So fellas started using 115 rods but as that's just way to much to move the cylinder and ports, they had to find another piston to physically allow it. Simple solution, the blaster pistons. Weisco was already producing them in droves and there were shops all over stocking them. Eventually Weisco met the demand for a banshee specific Long rod piston with the 795. With the readily available parts, ACTUAL builders began testing combos. At that point, guys were tired of melting motors due to base leaks and also many people weren't a fan of putting the ports up higher. Sure it was ok on older stuff that would love more duration, but the banshee already was flirting with higher timings for a recreational bike. So giving away the low end by using a plate was had to swallow. That's why old bolt on strokers were such dogs. Any low end gained with the stroke is tossed by moving the ports up on a plate. By then cool heads were common as all hell, so builders were messing with more dome ideas since they didn't have to do a new head every time. To boot, with old milled heads cutting step in them wasn't always the best idea if it had been milled. It meant coolant leaks if you were really making the juice. So fellas started just leaving the cyl where it was intended to be, and cutting step in domes. Just trends in motor building and part availability. That's all. See Why yet RU?
  11. At a minimum you need a 3/4 hp. 1 1/2 hp is ideal as it gets if you can foot 25-50 more bucks. I am fan of the Eastwood stuff.
  12. Looks good. Just swooped up some used cascade stuff my self. I will polish tomorrow and post here. Their stuff doesn't need much work to pop.
  13. It may be best to search out a bar of derlin and take it to a fella with a lathe.
  14. cuz he is, but he makes a point, huh? did you start pulling that thing apart yet? seriously I would refrain from riding it till all is resolved. If its something that needs sealer instead of a gasket, make sure not to gob it in there as the exess can break loose and worm through the oiling system till it creates a blockage. no gaurantee that an oil change or new filter will get it.
  15. I like this guy. It's engne theory and anger management at once.
  16. http://www.ebay.com/itm/85-00-SUPER-COUPON-PITTSBURGH-Rapid-Pump-3-Ton-Heavy-duty-Steel-Floor-Jack-/301462304827?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item46308db83b
  17. Is she , not shee for sale?
  18. I would re think the C16. That's just paying more for fuel you probably might not need. Look in to the C12 as well as their newer VP113. It's oxygenated but carries a tinge more octane then the C12. The vp113 is in most of my stuff and I love the results.
  19. Those are great for kids to learn on. Shouldn't cost you to much to maintain it at all.
  20. To much is not as big of a deal on a 2 stroke, but on a 4 stroke it can ruin a motors ability to pump oil.
  21. Look around for Rudy Kurtz stuff. He is one of the first big names that really put the squeeze on the banshee platform. When you see his cylinders, it makes you wonder how he got the power he did, because the intakes never really got opened up much if any at all.
  22. Lap it on granite or glass.
  23. Oooh aaaahhh..... Wait, I think you are missing part of the case.
