HomesteadBanshee Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Like the title says the better blew ,ima rebuild it stock stroke and go up a size on piston size if needed.i was thinking of using the weisco pro light forged pistons and,driveline stock stroke crank the cheaper $325 dollar crank. Unless you guys recommend something else let me know I’m not trying to break the bank.any suggestions let me know I’ll appreciate all info.

HomesteadBanshee Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I think the crank is bad because if I’m correct I think my Right piston is In pieces in my jug so I’m guessing I need a new crank aswell ima take the top end apart and check when I get a chance.im sure I will need a crank it was a 88, the guy I bought it from said he’s sure it’s all oem never been opened.

HomesteadBanshee Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Yeah took it apart I’m sure ima need a full rebuild top aswell the bottom end . The bottom half of the piston literally broke so there’s chunks all over the case in the bottom end I’m sure ima have to take the cases apart and go through everything and get rid of all the metal scraps that are in the bottom end from the piston exploding.

HomesteadBanshee Posted February 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I was thinking of going driveline billet head or the stealth one, with a driveline stock length crank but my mechanic buddy and you guys told me to go oem so ima do that a track down one,unless I hear good reviews about driveline crank, I spoke to lane today and he told me the cranks are up to par or better than any other crank in the market,he also said the 8 koyo bearing are the best bearing with the most reliability on the market.I was thinking of getting the billet head but I can’t lie the stealth stock head looks nice to.anybody used there heads, how are there coolant passages?

HomesteadBanshee Posted February 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I would go 4 mil but I would have to port the cylinders and at the moment I’m not trying to go crazy with the build but you never know I might go 4 mil since I gotta change everything.

OneBADBanshee05 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 It all depends on the style of riding you are doing. In some cases going to a 4 mil build would be useless. I’m working on a 2001 banshee for someone right now and I am upgrading the top end. The owner didn’t want to balls to the wall power. So I sent HJR his OEM cylinders and I’m having HJR port the cylinders with a play/dune port job, I’m also having then bore and hone the cylinders and a piston kit. As for the crank I’m having a local guy rebuild the OEM crank. I bought new oem rods, oem bearings and seals and O-rings and he’s going to true and weld it for me so I know it’s done right. I’m also upgrading his water pump and head with Chariot performance products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBADBanshee05 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Depending on the previous post outcome I’ll probably be going the same route with my own 04 banshee either next fall or winter. I’m keeping my banshee as a stock stroke ported 350. I don’t need anything crazy either. Edited February 16, 2020 by OneBADBanshee05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
