Ive been trying to get a banshee to race for quite some time and I now found one but the kid tells me that he blew the engine or one piston and bored out one side .02 over and put in a new piston and everything needed with other cyclinder still stock. Will this give me any problems in the future with anything like the transmission or anything. Or any ideas. I have no idea why he didnt bore out both sides but?
Help.

 

the .020 over piston will be heavier than the stock bore piston which will result in the crank not being balanced. this is a big no no.

 

you have to fix that. you cant have them off-set

 

OK thats what i thought too, and its not my banshee its one im looking at buying so ill have to think about it. Because that means i have to bore out the other cylinder also.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Thanks guys

 

Yea, but at least you know it's done right.

 

True but i wont have much money after buying the bike. And i know it doesnt cost much to bore but to get the piston ect.. might be tight.

 

If you need your cyl bored let me know and i can bore it at my place. If you need a piston im sure i can help you out with that as well. PM if you need help

 

my buddy has been running one piston .10 over for about 8 months now.. no problems at all... yet...

 

Thanks DaBeechMan if I only lived a little closer, how much should boring one cylinder and piston rings gaskets ect cost me if i decide to try it.
