salvaged? Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 ok, I recently picked up a banshee knowing that the top half of the case was cracked, the chain slipped the back sprocket, bunched up and took a chunk out of both upper and lower cases i later found out. I talked to a few places that said thet the banshee cases are one solid piece then after the crank was bored out the case was split upper and lower, and the only way tp get a matching set was to get 2 with matching serial. I already got a top half in the garage I found a bottom half for 100 bucks? Then I found a upper and lower for 300 bucks could i just buy the 100 dollar lower and have it machined to fit? should i just buy the set and know for sure? experiences and opinions please thanks in advance Quote
duneroc Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 I think that your best bet is to get the matching set. I don't think that it matters if you buy them seperately but when buying machined parts, its always a good idea to buy the two as a matching set instead of them seperately. That way they are more likely to mate up perfectly. Quote
SCOTT H Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 The cases are line bored for the crank and transmission shafts.Look on ebay for the cases. Quote
banshee_89 Posted October 18, 2003 Report Posted October 18, 2003 Dude... I smoked my engine and I needed new cases. I got seprate cases from two different people and I didnt have any problems, and she runs full tilt with no problems. It's cheaper to buy them seprate. Some one is blowing smoke up your ass, and if you wanted to do that you would be at home with a pack of smokes and a short length hose. Crank it up!!!! Quote
PassionRE Posted October 18, 2003 Report Posted October 18, 2003 Cases are machined together at the factory. Although its considered unacceptable to not have matched halves, Ive seen several instances where this has worked just fine. Still falls in to the unorthodox theology though, and is considered a mistake by most...Jim Quote
bignasty1 Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 my cases arent match and i dont have any problems at all i didnt even think of that but i got both mine of e bay from 2 diferentppl and i havent had a problems yet. Quote
fkonieczny Posted October 30, 2003 Report Posted October 30, 2003 Yeah. mine too. I bought my $hee with the rod sticking out of the front upper case. Its a 99, and I only paid $300. I just bought an upper case and matched it to my factory lower. Not a single problem and no leaks. (at least until I opened mu mouth a wrote this) Quote
sean10 Posted October 31, 2003 Report Posted October 31, 2003 I bought a set of cases in preety good condition for $120.00on ebay. If i were you i would check that out! Quote
