BANSHEE CHAOS Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 Are there any? My motor developed a slight ticking noise in the left bottom end. I have the top end apart and bearings look fine. What I can see in the bottom looks good. The left side of the head and top of that piston have some dents around the edge... Assumed a reed broke and sucked through but they're intact and look perfect. I'd like to have everything checked out by someone with the proper instruments and competence. :-D Quote
registered user Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 you want to have your dented pistons checked out ? uhh ok Quote
Larry's Shee Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 Seeing that you have VF reeds, only other thing that could dent a piston would be a bearing ball/needle. Quote
sstaton1983 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 To much play in lower rod bearings causing the piston to kiss the head?? or maybe a stretched rod?? Quote
BANSHEE CHAOS Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Posted May 14, 2014 Maybe dent is too strong a word... something really tiny went through and left small indentions/pecks... I want to have the bottom end tolerances checked. For exactly what sstaton said. I mean the bearings feel good but I doubt I would feel a few thousandths of extra play. :-) Quote
locogato11283 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 Precision Powersports is in the St. Louis area. Quote
BANSHEE CHAOS Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Posted May 14, 2014 I'm 4-4 1/2 hours south of St Louis. 45 minutes west of Memphis. I was hoping there was somebody fairly close but I understand that's asking a lot in this geographical area. :-D I'll send it to a sponser if I need to. Quote
BANSHEE CHAOS Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Here's the head. The top of the left piston has similar pecks around it. Puzzling.... Edited May 16, 2014 by BANSHEE CHAOS Quote
J-Madd Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 Did you take that picture in the dark? Best I can tell it looks like something let go. It usually only gets one side though. What did the spark plugs look like? Burnt? Smashed? Porcelain gone? Quote

BANSHEE CHAOS Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Posted May 17, 2014 Did you take that picture in the dark? Best I can tell it looks like something let go. It usually only gets one side though. What did the spark plugs look like? Burnt? Smashed? Porcelain gone? It was actually in direct sunlight. I guess the phone autofocus'd... both plugs looked fine. It was running great too. Started getting dark and pulled up to my trailer...as it was idling I heard a slight ticking noise. Figured it'd be better to investigate it than grenade it. But aside from the indentions on top, everything bearing-wise feels and looks fine. Quote

Jgspahn Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 Did you ever find anyone reliable? Im in Jonesboro, and would love to find somebody knowledgeable close by. Quote
