TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 It's stock bore. I'm sending the head with the jugs to make sure it's all good. The pistons would have shown signs of them actually hitting too. I don't have the money to freshen the engine up yet and riding season is right around the corner. I know I'm being a dumbass but as soon as I get the money to go through the engine it's gonna get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSHEEBEEFM2M Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 You ain't gonna make it through riding season. 79% of these dudes are assholes but 85% of em know what there talking about. The 4-500 you're spending on boring/pistons/gaskets is a absolute fuckin waist it'll be gone in 2-3 hard rides max if you don't do that bottom end. If the crank is ok , still spend a lil $ to have it welded and bearings replaced, that's a 27 year old crank come the fuck on quit tryna cut corners guys like u are the reasons all the faggots that don't have banshees say their always blowin up or brakin. That top end Will not last that's throwin $ out the window if u gotta miss a few rides fuck it miss em. I swear to god your gonna kick yourself in the ass if you don't listen to these guys because sheee will scatter blow up boom boom knock knock pow let her sit do a complete rebuild and clean that bitch up Sent from my HTC One V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 You must be a part of that 79%. Obviously I know the consequences of not doing what I should do but when my dad who has 15+ years experience racing 2 strokes tells me that the crank looks great then I'm gonna take that more into consideration than everyone who says it's old and needs to be looked at. I don't have the money to do it now, I won't a month from now and I probably won't for another 3-4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSHEEBEEFM2M Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 We'll then wait 4-5 months Sent from my HTC One V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 That's basically the entire season. I'd rather throw a rod after 3 rides than not ride it at all. I need new cases anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Just because someone shoots it straight and doesn't sugar coat it, doesn't make them an asshole btw. Sent from a van down by the river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 There was definitely a better way not to sugarcoat it though. I mean according to him I have a 4/5 change of him being of the said assholes. He might not be in general but that post definitely was coming off a bit asshole-ish. I do appreciate everyone's response though, sugarcoated or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw , unless your dad has x ray eyes there's no way he can tell if your crank is good without disassembly.

TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 He does, it comes standard when you have kids. I'll consider splitting the cases if I can find a set of unbroken ones that aren't too pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadbeat Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 might last one more season, if it has lasted this long it might not of had a very hard life...occasionally in the automotive world you`ll come across a "freak motor" that refuses to die welcome to AssholeHQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 That's what I was thinking, I don't really ride like a dick and I weigh half of what the guy before me weighed so if it didn't die with him I can't foresee it dying with me on it. I might just save up and buy a whole new bottom end and just see how long this one stays together haha Thanks! I'm glad to be apart of it!

Starwriter Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I bet all dad's experience is with single cylinder motors. He probably doesn't know stock Banshee cranks are prone to failure if not welded. If everything truly is OK with the crank, it's only gonna cost you about $200 to split the cases, ship the crank to a builder, have it trued and welded, shipped back, and put together with new seals. Then you know it won't destroy your new top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyBrock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 But if it was gonna fail shouldn't it have failed 20 years ago? this thing is 27 years old! I think it's safe to say that these cases have never been split before. If I can dig up the funds to have it done I will, I'll send it straight to Jeff at FAST, but if I can't I'm just gonna leave it alone until I can. Knowing my luck, splitting them will cause the crank to break in half just cause I split them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 we told you what to do. Now go blow up your engine because you are too lazy to take it apart. I'm done with this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
