she_rides_nice Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Hay guys, got a 2000 shee fmf pipes, top end was factory. Low compression(90psi) gave me a good reason to rebuild. Im not a motor guy this is my first rebuild but im not stupid. I know this aint right lol. Question is how did this happen and where did the ring go????? Quote
sheerider11 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Maybe out the exhaust, maybe down in the crankcase. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Split the cases! If you are missing any metal and can't account for it, you need to be 100% sure it's not in the crank case Quote

she_rides_nice Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Posted March 8, 2013 its still started up and ran, and i dont think it would beable to get past the 2nt ring? Quote
sheerider11 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Anything is possible. But if you don't want to then don't. But do not come on here asking why your crank blew up,you hear a rattling sound, your crank seal is leaking after you do this top end. Quote
troyzstang Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Listen to the Pros Split the cases Do it right or do it twice Troy Quote
lil Doobie420 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 could that be from piston raddle Quote
sheerider11 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 could that be from piston raddle Not likely, but like I've said nothing's impossible. You see more broken skirts from that. Rattle is how it's spelt. A snagged ring will rip it out. I'm on my phone so it's hard to see it clearly. Is there any part left of it? Could it have been left out on the last rebuild? Quote
gjone5 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 How do the cylinders look? I highly doubt it made it past the other ring. Quote
gjone5 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 I'm going through the same ordeal. I have a 2000 banshee and low compression. Getting ready to tear it apart in a few minutes. Now you got me wondering what mine is gonna look like... 1 Quote
she_rides_nice Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 theres no part left of it, and like I said im not an expert but the cylinders look fine. I dont think its ever been rebuilt. I already sent cylinders out to "Full Bore" to get bored and honed Quote
KINGpimp Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 So lost ring and no gashes or wear on cylinders? No rough areas? Quote
Coupelx Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Whats the edges of the exhaust port look like? 1 Quote
she_rides_nice Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 I did look very close at the cylinders and I already sent em out. Ill let you know what full bore says when I get em back and how much they had to be bored. Quote
