splitting the cases

[TJScott]

alright, so im somewhat new here, i had a 94 rm125 and was spotless and good looking, found a banshee with a seized motor and i just couldnt pass it up. so i traded him and got $180 out of him.

now thanks to banshee hq, ive found tons of parts for cheap and great advice! it was recommended i splitted the cases so i finally decided to after some talking around, so i got the rebuild vid from nitrotate (thanks man!) (the farthest id ever gone was putting a top end in my rm125) and man am i glad i did! the pieces that came off of the piston had made themselves down into the crank and melted themselves to the bearings, those things were ticking time bombs! so i ended up buying a new, welded crank (ebay), and 2 .90 over cylidners with a head (here).

splitting the cases was extremely simple and just saved me incredible amounts of money! thank you so much guys!

one question though, i have some scratches on my case (take a look in the pic) where the crank and piston pieces met, is that ok? i dont see it hurting anything.

thanks again guys!

As long as the journals are clean,and all areas flat where they should be your good to go..

hopefully you didnt pay much for those jugs being 90 over

The case looks fine, you can get rid of any small burs around the crank case aswell. If the mating surfaces are flat your ready to seal it up and rock it!

thanks guys, and no, i only paid $215 for them both and that came with a head and used pistons.

so can i sand that down to get the scratches out, or just leave them?

In the crank case you can sand the marks down, yes, use a rough sandpaper and leave it rough for better atomization.
