XTREMEH18 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hey guys... Had a slight problem back in Dec. I blew the Banshee in 6th gear WOT.. I had her leaned out and the temps drop really low .. I was riding from day time to night time and coming back home I opened her up and in 6th gone ... Before I took her apart I did a compression test .. had 150 psi on my left cylinder and on my right I had 0 psi ... well to make a long story short... when I took her apart.. I messed up the head I melted some of the right side piston on to the head and the rings had melted onto the piston... So my question is I rebuilt her yesterday for the first time ever that I have done it myself.. pretty easy .. I'm really happy and she started.. hehehe... .. When I blew her I had 7 degree advance timing and 150 psi.. 340 jets on pump gas... and now I have 165 psi and 4 degree timing... 390 jets <--- (cause i'm still breaking her in ) On pump gas ... I would like to know if I can go up to 5 degree timing.. but i'm afraid cause of the compression ... should I just keep it at 4 or is it safe to go up to 5 ? I will post pics later of the head and of the piston when it blew... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRST BANSHEE Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 personally I would run 50-50 93 and race fuel at 165 psi or lower the compression. the performance from 155 psi and pump gas and 165psi and race fuel isn't that great.

banshee tuner Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I would stick with the +4 timing and run race gas, but that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowriderb Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 you may be pushing it with 7degrees on pump fuel.. as long as your running 93 octane and not trying to be cheap you should be fine with 5 or4 degrees advanced with that compression..
