CASE SPLITTING

[DMAYHALL]

Ok guys.... i want to install a 4 mill crank but ive never split a case ! Can i split it without taking everything else off...clutch, kickstarter, ect ect ?

[2004LEBanshee]

Yes and no. You can leave a lot of stuff still on the trany shafts and so on but you should take it all down and do it right. Also there is a case connector behind the clutch basket you need to take off. You can't do it.with out taking the clutch basket off.

I agree, you may as well take it all down. besides once you get inside you will always find something that needs fixed or replaced.

I would look into cleaning everything. if you are going to install a 4mil Crank I would want to go through the motor. They engines are very basic. Clean everything before you take it apart. I like the car wash. Tape the intakes, exhaust, wrap in plastic and hose away. Starting clean is a lot easier than starting dirty. You would hate to drop a piece of dirt in your cases as you are putting them back together. I would stay away from Permatex I like to use Yamabond because it is designed for applications such as putting the cases together.

 

This is my opinion and I have not had issues with rebuilds and my case splitting experiences.

great walkthrough

I didn't know Yamabond was not available anymore. Then it's back to Permatex Aviation sealer. If its good enough for FAA regulations then I see no problems for a banshee. Yamabond 4 is based on aviation sealer anyways.

 

Sorry to side track the tread. I just hate Permatex. Gas eats it. It's messy and does not have a "clean" look.

check out the threebound sealer..... thats what I use... its not as runny as yamabound and it seems to seal better. another option for ya. Also, if ya havent split a set of cases before I would recommend buying a clymers manual. very informative and easy to follow.
