SheeMale98

I have no clue what this thing is honestly. When I bought it I had no idea it had all of this done to it. Whatever the combo may be it works and is fairly scary with a stock length swinger.

Little update. Ordered a OEM head gasket like some of you suggested and that was a big no go. The gasket hung way over into the bore. And was only 12 thousandths thick (used my calipers for that :-p). So I would have had waaaay high compression with the head being milled so much. Ordered a 68mm .43 head gasket from bansheedepot.com and worked perfect. Still confused about the .50 stamped on top of the pistons.

I understand that...but I didn't have any so I used the tools I had available.

No not digital. Was getting to many different measurements due to the jungle gym of studs, wires and anything else that is in the way of getting a perfect measurement. And on top of the fact my caliper is about 10 years older than I am.

I have calipers

No other numbers on the pistons besides 0.50.

Whats up fellas (And ladies) New to the forum here. Picked up a 98 Banshee a couple of months ago for CHEAP. The guy had it for a while but bought it like it was. Anyways, it didnt run when i got it. Reeds were broken, carbs all junked up yada yada yada. Bought new reeds and cleaned the carbs and walah!! Ran great but needed to be jetted. Jetted it and took her for a quick rip and holy shit it wasnt like anything ive ever ridden before. Buuuuut the fun had to end there as the headgasket started leaking right after. So i pull the head and low and behold a stripped headstud...AWSOME! So i fix the headstud and measure the bore and it comes out to be 2 11/16 which is 68.xxx mm if i did the math right. And the pistons have .50 on top of them. Did some research and from what i gathered, 68mm=392? Current headgasket measures out at .50 thick and the 2 3/4 inches across. Im so damn confussed as to what headgasket im supposed to buy. Engine mods are (as much as i know, ive found alot of "extras" on this bike since ive bought it) Stock head milled to 20cc and jugs milled .35 with slight port work. If anyone can shed some light on this situation i would really apreciate it! Thanks!
