2STROKIN_IT Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 Ok so I'm gonna dig into my banshee today after work and install the cool head. Besides doing a leak down when I'm done what do I look out for? It's a pro design "elite" cool head with 21cc domes. I think elite model is just a fancy way of saying black cause that's the only thing that seemed different to me. But I thought I would ask you guys on here since you guys are pretty well versed when it comes down to the nitty gritty!! Thanks as always Quote
2STROKIN_IT Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Posted June 11, 2015 It's the whole kit and caboodle!! O-rings and studs in there too.. Crap I just checked and they are missing something, the freakin beer!!!! Thanks man I almost botched the whole job!! 1 Quote
F.T.W. Banshee Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 When you put the orings on use a dab of grease so they don't move Quote
sheerider11 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 Soak the studs in PB blaster. It'd be a whole lot easier to have the cylinders off IMO. Use heat. Don't force them out. I've always double nutted them. The 2 long studs are the front 2 studs. Use Vaseline/Chapstick/assembly lube to hold o rings in place. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 Drain coolant from cyl before removing head. Quote
2STROKIN_IT Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 Check this out, me and my buddy took our heads off. The clean one is mine (top) and other is his. Mind me this is the quad that we changed impeller on and it stopped running right (bottom head)!! What's up with that?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
trickedcarbine Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Just AIDS..... Seriously, that thing has ate something and possibly suffered some gnarly detonation. Get it apart and take care of the crank before it let's go and eats the entire motor. It's already coming apart:... Quote
2STROKIN_IT Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 Yeah to be honest bike has never been right since the day he got it.. He got his a week after I got mine and I think he jumped the gun, he fell for the flashy paint, stickers and shiny wheels!! I didn't know nearly as much as I know now about them but he still got it and we'll now it needs help. Freakin carb slides were on backwards when it was bought, was running 200 main jets with 27.5 pilots. Like bike ran like shit, I finally corrected it well the best I could to my knowledge and it ran great the next time we were out. But when I seen him pull his head I knew something wasn't right. Me being a friend I told him hey you know what pull my head off since I got the cool head in and take mine. Well when it came off my bike it looked new compared to his!! Gonna have to break his heart and wallet tonight. But as far as my head that looks as normal as it can get right?? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Any pits on the piston dome of pitted head side? If not I would say it's previous damage from crank failure. However, wouldn't hurt to pull that jug to check piston. Quote
2STROKIN_IT Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 Yeah major pitting on the ugly head. Right dome a lot more than the left too. Can he get the 4 mil crank on a stock setup? Quote
trickedcarbine Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Did the cyl with shrapnel marks ever close up spark plugs? Quote
2STROKIN_IT Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 Like close up the gap on the plug?? That's kinda what I understood from that question, if I'm getting the question wrong please explain. But plug looked normal, black as shit but gap looked normal but I can check after work tomorrow..
