trying to find a step by step plan for re ringing the she

[vitovito240]

whats up everyone?

thinking of doing a re ring on the shee. this will be my first one so im looking for some step by step plan. also how hard is it and how long will it take for a rookie who is mechanically inclined but never worked on a two stroke shee?

thanks

i would check you compressoin befor going though the trouble of breaking down the motor, i would replace the pistons to, not just the rings. hone out the jugs or bore them out to do the job right.and becuase you have and it all apart my as well do it. but anyway if you on a budget and thats what you want that fine by me no problem. drain your all your fluids,take off your front pipes.carbs,fule line, spark plugs, heads, then your jugs,and your there. pull off the old rings put on the new ones make sure there on right !!!!!put on the new gaskets,when putting on the jugs you can squeez the rings with your fingers and slide the jugs on,it might take two people for this part (use a little lubrication oil ),the put on you heads, spark plugs,carbs, make sure the slids in the carbs are all the way down (they go in one way but you can still put it in the wrong way!to check pull off you air filter and look down your air box with a flash light to make sure there all the way down)

fule line,put on the pipes,and put oil and antifreez in the banshee. it takes me alitte less than an hour to do it .but if your not mechanically inclined about 2-4 hours. its not hard at all,you should buy a cylimer manual.i hope this is some use for you, good luck!! MAZZ

There are a couple of things that I would add.

Befor you take anything apart wash the motor and the frame, then blow everything off with a air gun. Dirt and especialy sand gets into the little places around the base of the cylinders.

When you get ready to put the rings in take one and put it into the cylinder. Push it down with the piston. Take a feeler gauge and make sure what the end gap is. New rings should be .012 to .018. I set mine at .014

Good luck

Only one thing I take exception too. Just because a engine needs to be reringed does not mean that it needs to be bored necessarily Its actually good maintenance to rering after approx. 45 hrs of riding. If you rering before they get too worn and do damage to the cylinder there is no reason to bore it. You may need to hone the cylinder if the cross hatching isn't prevalent. JMHO

 

Definately buy a clymer manual. It will help you immensely. Best 30 bucks you'll ever spend. :beer:

I think it was Vito that PM'd me yesterday saying he had 25PSI in each cylinder...

 

He's got bigger problems....

 

This post is great, it gets down into splitting the cases, further than you probably need to go. But...it covers what you need to do, top end wise....
