eh, I finally took my banshee engine apart to find a mess. Yesterday it lost compression and locked up on me, and I knew something serious happened. Apparently the top of the piston above the top ring broke off and the shrapnel chewed the crap out of the inside of my left cylinder walls, the worst being right above the exhaust port. But of course, my right cylinder is fine. I priced out a new bore + pistons and all that good stuff at Tony Dutkas Racing for about 190-200 bucks. Does anyone know where I can get it cheaper? If so, please get at me!

Got mine from vitos racing there on the net and all the mags 149.00

 

thats for the kit but I payed 40 bucks for the bore so thats about right

 

Sorry to hear that man! It coulda been way worse though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Pretty much your just payin for a new top end which you prolly would of needed soon anyways. I don't work with Banshees much so I donno where to find it cheaper sorry. Good luck with that though!

 

did it seize? (you said it locked up.. is that what you meant?) if so check your crank... that may be shot too... a new one of those isnt cheap.. prolly around 300-500... or you can get yours rebuilt.
