Oilsmoke Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 Is there any way to tell if a cranks been welded, while it's still in the case? And what are the tolerances for the rod journals side clearance? Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 with the top case on i dont think theres a way... Quote
SICK BOY Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 You'll have to pull it apart to see if it's been welded. Quote
Oilsmoke Posted February 28, 2004 Author Report Posted February 28, 2004 OK so how about side tolerances, what are they, & can one check with feeler gauge . Quote
MotulMonsta Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 Side tolerance??? are you refering to left to right play of the connecting rod?? Or the crank?? the crank shouldn't have much lateral movement if not any at all, it's a sign that A, the main gear is loose, B, the bearings a worn, or C the groves in the cases are worn. The piston rod will move side to side. The specs should be found in any good Banshee repair manual. If you don't have one, You need to get one, the information inside is invaulable to the upkeep of your shee. I've had my Banshee for close to 8 years and I still find myself thumbing through the pages just to make shure I'm doing things right. Quote
boonman Posted March 1, 2004 Report Posted March 1, 2004 Here is a pic from Meat's site, www.thebansheezone.com . It shows the side view of a crank, and what is done when they are welded. It welds the lower rod pin to the crank web so that it can't twist or seperate. Banshee cranks are known for this to happen..... Quote
