Canada Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Hi, im looking at a banshee that is a total baskit case, but has a few nicer parts pipes, carbs, tires.... The strange thing is the cylinders, its a one part jug like a cpi cub/serval/wampus, but it has 6 bolt dimond shape reed intakes, and a open large volume coolant flow like with a o ring head, 10 stud head What could this be, it dose look like it belongs with all the other parts like carbs/reeds .....

JUSTWANNARACE Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Cheetah.. they use a 250r Reed cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted November 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 That would be great if they where, Based on the 250r reeds thats what i thought, But im not so sure yet. Its just the big very open water channels, and rectangular head that has me wandering Wish i could post pics, but maybe it could be some old school cheetah?

JUSTWANNARACE Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 If it is rectangular than it is probably an LA Sleeve cyl they used 250r reeds also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTWANNARACE Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 They take a ton of port work to run well but the do run decent once worked over. Are they going to out perform your serval, no probably not. But not a bad cyl by no means, better than stock for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTWANNARACE Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 You can. LA Sleeve will have parts. ESR, NIX and Pro X are all the same LA Sleeve cyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Great news i just got everything blown apart and the cylinder is mint reeds are good too. The cast piston's on was cracked and the coating worn off, the other is missing a chunk where the same cracks formed The bigger problem is i can get the blown pistons wrist pin out, even with heating the piston with a hand tortch? Whats the best way to cut it off without damaging the con rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 The one piston was totally normal just pushed the pin out, the other feels kinda notchy but the rod with side force can slide around a bit but the pin is frozen, the main crank turns nice and the big end of the rods feel smooth with no play I got the cases split, but i forgot about the stuck wrist pin so i cant get it apart with the piston in the way i got the frozen pin to move a few a few mm either way but its very stuck like the needle bearings are hung up in a groove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Ok cool i just ordered one now for a bit less, but it come with only two size 14mm-17mm Either way till it shows up this will be my last two question #1 if the bore is mint, can i just switch to wisecos forged pistons same size 68mm and re-bore to that #2 if i can do that are these the standard blaster 68mm pistons same used on the cub? la sleeve is asking $75 for the gaskit kit thats ok , but 200 something for the pistons in cast Edited November 10, 2018 by Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
