Hi guys, I'm just after a bit of advice on my first rebuild. Well here's the go! I was getting about 116 @ sea level out of my compression from memory. So when I ordered my shocks and .030 shaved head from wash bourn (thanx Neil it all come today and I tell u those elkas look sexy) Anyway I got Cody to send over a wiseco top end kit for my first rebuild so I could just do it all at once though I wasn

ARRRRR dam it now I know i'm going crazy. I went back out and checked the box and for some reason I though it was a .030 rebuild rather then .0030 kit. hmmmmm I think I need a beer.

I'm going to assume you mean for a banshee...:)

 

First bore is .020, then .010 additional after that. So... .030, .040...and so on.

 

Once you get to .080, that's your last safe bore in my opinion.

 

They sell a .090 and .100 kit...but the walls are so thin, it's a time bomb...tick tick tick.

 

First off, check your numbers. Wiseco does not make a .0030 kit of oversized pistons that I know of (US Measurements).

The Metric increments are by .25 mm

64.00 is stock, 64.50 (.020), 64.75 (.030), and so on...

one thing Dave forgot to mention is the crank.....

 

i would have it welded anyways.....

box stock engines have been known to seperate un welded stock cranks.

its a piece of mind thing,not only that when you do decide to do port work its already done and you wont have to go in to the bottom end unless you upgrading your trans.....

Hmmm on the side of the piston box it says Clear: 0.0030(0.076)

Hmmm good point. I havent really looked into getting it done. how much more work is it pulling the pulling the crank with the jugs off? Is there anything else I need to order? I'll have to do some more reserch on it.

Cheers for the help.

Wait a sec....it's all coming back to me.

They might make an A, B and C piston kit.

You hone the cylinders...keep the stock bore, but a .0030 piston kit might tighten it up....hmmm....let me think.

first off get a clymers manual for the bike......huge help.

 

after gettin the motor out of the frame its pretty much pulling the case bolts and splitting the cases.

 

not sure on price of having it done....it was included in my package price when i had my motor done by a&s.

Kinda what I was thinking..

 

 

But make sure you check your piston/cylinder gap is set to wiseco specs. They tend to be more loose then stock casted pistons.
