Banshee Bottom End

[BigRed350x]

I finially got the couple of screws and circlips that were missing from my bottom end. Hopefully I will finishing up the bottom end re-build some time this weekend. I was wondering if any of you experts out there had any tips for me when I am putting the two case halves back together or anything. After my next paycheck I will be ordering the new 80 over pistons for the top end. What is a good method for breaking in the new top end? I have a clymers manual for it, but just wanted to get some opions from people who have done this before.

 

Thanks

Also, what kind of power should I be expecting after all the re-build? I have stock pipes, clamp on filter intake, and run it without the airbox lid. 80 over bore, and port job. I ride at the Walden Sand Dunes a lot (about 7500ft or so) What size jets would be a good place to start at?

you have it bored 80 over and ported with stock pipes? Dude what are you thinking? You need to get some pipes on that puppy to really get some power. Ok now with that said my best advice is to go really slow and make sure you are putting everything together right. Double check and then recheck again. look at the manual as often as you can to check diagrams and such so you dont miss anything. Torque everything the way it is supose to be torqued. That is a very important step. I always keep a little bit of motor oil near by to rub on the gaskets as Im puting things back together. It helps seal better that way. Also use bearing greese where your exhaust meets the head. That will hopefully eliminate any air leaks you may have. God I cant believe your still running stock exhaust good luck with everything and let us know if you have any more questions.
