gathering all the parts for a complete engine rebuild

[Mike DUB]

do I need this gasket (Water Impeller (pump) cover gasket) when rebuilding a banshee bottom and top end? I have these new parts here or coming (Hot Rods crank stock stroke, wiseco 64mm stock bore top end kit, flywheel puller, oil seal kit - i think 7 all together - , service manual, MAYBE a adjustable timing plate.)

 

I know I need a lot of odds and ends. (like yamabond 4, tranny oil, coolant, new spark plugs, clutch side crankcase gasket, etc.)

 

Can somebody suggest things I might have left out. I know I might need other specialty tools besides the flywheel puller. Not sure what ones are necessary and which ones aren't. I've seen two different kinds of torque wrenches, which is better? I heard I need to repack the exhaust pipes (Toomey T5s) often, should I do it now? Should I have the carbs synced and rejetted?

 

oh yeah, the crank i bought (I think I said this in another forum: came with one o-ring sitting in its little cut out, in the bearing, on one side, but no o-ring in the little cut out on the other side.) I heard that a clip thing goes there. My question is: is this clip supposed to come with the crank in the box? all that was in the box was the crank with connecting rods/bearings etc and these two little bearings. I think for the piston end of the connecting rods.

 

sorry for so many questions

Thank You

Mike

If you get the Clymer banshee manuel it will tell you basicly everything you need to know about the rebuild look on amazon,com for one I think I got mine for like 15 bucks shipped. and it is preatty detailed with pics and descriptions of all the parts. and kinda a rule of thumb is anything you take apart allways put new gaskets in place its just insurance! if you reuse gaskets some may be ok some may not if they are torn or worn replace! besides do you really want to go through the motor again after the rebuild because of one leak that you have to take off 4 parts to get to!
