i need help i have a 2001 banshee that has been mildly ported its bored 50 over the timeings advanced 4degrees, toomy t5s toomy jets k&n pod filters duncan reeds and a boost bottle. it keeps blowing pistons at first it was the were just wore out so i replaced them with a set of numara pistons witch are crap for any one who wants to know i blew one to peices with less than 2hrs on the rebuild. next i bored it out to the next size to to some scratching of the cylinder, and put in a set of weisco pistons ran it less than an hour seemed fine then all of the suden it just died and it wouldnt kick over. i took apart and found another blown piston this time on the oppisit cylinder there weisco so i couldnt blame it on crappy knock offs. i checked the water pump and its getting coolant through the motor, the jeting was right on and there was plenty of oil in the mix i wansnt romping on it hard becuse i was just breaking it in so im at a loss im thinking something might be up with the crank or cylinders the rods, crank and berings all seemed fine when i tore the motor down so any ideas where to check would be greatly apreciated

are the pistons coming apart or are they melting in the center of the crown of the piston?

 

if they are coming apart then you may have a crank problem.. if they are melting on the crown first then it is probably a crank seal if not the jetting..
