Motor Seized :-(

[Proud Banshee Owner]

I was riding some trails and a few high speed tracks when my motor just seized up. I noticed that my overflow from my radiator was spitting steam and my head (which was powdercoated silver) is now gold and the high temp paint I had on the cylinders peeled off. I showed my mechanic and he said my water pump went out that is what burned up all of the oil and locked up my motor. I added oil and now I can kick it over, but there is NO compression in right cylinder and very little in left. He said I need a new top end without a doubt, but not sure on the bottom end because he didnt open it up yet. He offered to sell me his 4mm stroker crank and dune port my motor for 1800. I dont know much about interior motor work for two strokes. Just the basics. Im wondering if that is a good deal, do I need it or just repair to stock bore and stroke for 800. Most of my riding is at GLAMIS, CA but I also want to beat my buddys Raptor 700 too. I have, Toomey T6, Boost Bottle, V Force reeds, 1/4 inch spacers, +4 advance timing, lightened flywheel, sprocket teeth set up for acceleration, jetted stock carbs, K&N individual intake filters and milled head. Thank you in advance. How reliable is this set up, and how much power increase am I looking at? SORRY, WRONG FORUM. FIRST TIME POSTING

First off, if you have any mechanical ability whatsoever don't agree to that deal yet. What you should do first is get that motor apart and see if the crank is damaged or not and then decide if you want to move up to a 4mill. The guys on this forum including myself have a lot of experience with banshees and can help you all the way through the process.

 

If you want more help from me just pm me or just keep posting here.

 

You can do most of the rebuild by yourself and save a TON of money.

kevein at herr jugs racing has a deal even better then that. 4 mil with his highly rated dune port for 1200. http://www.herrjugsracing.com/index.html that is ofcourse you are going that route. i'd open the bottom end and check it first
