Info on motor assembly

[Blooddain]

I am swapping cases here in the next week or so and was wondering if any of you guys new of a reputable place in the Utah area that would assemble the motor for me at a decent price. I will pull the motor myself but don't think i want to attempt the swap on my own. How many hours does it usually take someone to do that kind of work? At $80 an hour im hoping not to long. Any info would be great.

Thanks for the info Zilla, just emailed them! May have my cylinders polished at the same time while they have the motor!

I would suggest calling brandon/shay tomorrow morning.

 

and by polish do you mean bling effect, or did you mean you wanted the jugs ported?

 

 

No just the bling, the jugs are race ported already.

Nice people,i actually talked to them the other day

just remember that the cases are machined together to specific tolerences from yamaha.......so don't go swapping lower or upper case halves.....if your changing them....change both at the same time.

 

Also doing a swap of cases (as long as there's nothing major wrong like a seized clutch rod) is a simple job. if you have the knowledge/ability to remove your entire engine then you should be able to split your cases and swap everything. It really is simple. just take your time, get a clymers manual for reference and then there are 2 tools required and a tube of yamabond or 1211 to seal the cases. I understand you dont want to do it yourself cause you've never done something like this before.....but honestly.....if you learn now you can see how simple these motors really are and will be WAY less hesitant to fix your bike either at a track or on a riding trip. Way better than sitting on the sidelines for the rest of the trip while your friends are out having a blast without you.

 

im sure there are others around you from the BHQ that could help you in person to swap out the cases.

 

with a guy who knows what he's doing and taking his time to make sure everythings correct and running a leak down on the motor id guess somewhere around 3-4 hours. i know it can be done faster....but the faster anyone works the more risk there is of blowing it up.

^^yup i agree get a claimers and jus break it down slow. take pics, take it slow,tag all the parts. take your time and if you get hung up jus ask here .....and if you complete it yourself. think of all the extra money you ll have for more new parts to install...yahoo goodluck edit - i think there may even be a step by step of bottem end asembly with pics on here.

I'd have to agree save yourself a shit load of cash and do it yourself. It's a much easier job than you think.

You can do this yourself very easy. The banshee is one of the easiest motors to disassemble. Honda bond, Yamabond or permatex Aviation form-a-gasket sealer are what you should use to seal the cases. Use a thin layer not a 1/4" bead. I use Aviation Permatex, it is awesome and I have never had issues. Do not use any RTV permatex, heh.

 

Like others said. Go slow, tag parts. It's easy. There is a manual download in my sig.

I agree with everyone saying to do it yourself. Heck I started doing all the work on my motor and now I have a very nice tool set. Compliments of not forking the money over to someone else to fix it.

Thanks to everyone for the info and the help! I may yet attempt this on my own.

Doing it on your own is a great option. If you do decide to take it to Wildcard, they are top notch people and do awesome work!
