shee blew up

[csbullrider92]

did a top end in my banshee and blew it up within the first 5 minutes of riding, shop tore it apart and found a circlip in the left cylinder, cylinder is junk and the damage to it cant be bored out. also said the bottom end needs replaced, im figuring no less then 2 grand to do it all and i dont got money to blow, dont wanna part it out either, anyone familier with vito's performance? found a crank through them for 350$. also found a 421 cheetah comes with jugs bottom end and pistons for 1500. im no mechanic either. really in need of some advice. thanks alot

 

anyone on here from the old hillclimbers forum??

Sorry to hear about your situation. I've bought alot off parts from Vito's and have never had any issues, their shop is only 30 minutes from me so it's the closest place for me to go. The guys that work there are great and have helped me out big time. Anytime i need some Dyno time I just call Lane at Vito's and he always hooks me right up. But that's just my opinion, like any business there is going to be some people that like them and others that dont. I haven't purchased a crank from them yet so I cant give a opinion on that part, but my clutch,head, and topend are all from there and are holding up just fine. 61hp on the dyno thanks to them. Good Luck with your next build

vito's products are good, and they have been very freindly and helpful to me.

Try to use one of the site sponsors they know what they are talking about and will hook you up with what you need. Hotrodz crank 400$ trued and welded. Look around and decide which one you want to use, since they are all reputable and their name is on the line so they will make your shee ride like a rape date!

Contact kevin @ herr jugs. He will hook you up. I bought a +4 stroker crank from him shipped to my door for $395. Also bought nbillet intake manifolds from him. Great guy to deal with.

Might not have been the cause, but that is why I never re-use piston pin C-clips

they were actually new, put a berand to everythin in the top end, we dont know if one was droped down the bottom end or id one spun out, theres a goudge in the left piston looks like one spun out and shot its way to the top, we really dont know other then whatever happened it caused alot of damage lol

With some patience, you can find jugs, cases, and anything else you need in our for sale section at a great price. You'll have money left over to build a ported 4mil stroker if you need to. haha

I call bullshit on the shop.

 

A popped clip won't ruin your crank.

 

Get your junk back and take it to somebody trustworthy.

its not the crank it ruined there was play in the crank to start, it ruined the left side piston, jug and dome.
