salgas360 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 When trying to change the oil on my 87 banshee I tightened the but to hard and it cracked on both sides. It leaks oil and I have no idea what to do. Would I have to buy a whole new engine? I tried jb weld but I just made a mess. Any advice?

toytech Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 you need to find someone that can weld it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yup^. Gonna suck. You might be able to coat the drain bolt with rtv before threading it in. It might seal? If not, split cases, weld, re tap, and live and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salgas360 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Would buying cases be cheaper than finding someone who could weld that? And would any year case fit an 87 Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yes, any year of cases will work, just make sure that they are a matched set. You might want to put up a post in the Swap Shop in the Wanted section. I'm sure someone here probably has a good set of cases you could buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeper06 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Try a local machine shop , either way the proper way to do it is to split it , boil it out , pre-heat it then weld it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 between the grime and jb its hard to tell if the crack has traveled beyond the plug boss. if not i would just V the crack, spray some brakecleen in there and hit it with a mini SS wire wheel then weld it. if the crack has migrated to the case floor youll probly want to take cases apart and reasess the situation based on what you see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I rather buy them rather than having to go through all that troubleWhat's the cheapest you'll sell them to a fellow banshee enthusiasts for Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
