got1banshee Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 I was teaching my old lady how to drive me banshee and she just took off in first wide open over reving and blew the engine up. The left piston and rod seperated and banged up the cylender wall, piston pieces went into the crank case. I dont thing that it messed anything up in the lower end but I do need to split the case to clean out all the shavings. Is there any secrets on spliting the case and puting it back together? Where do I get the jugs bored out or is there sleeves that can be pressed out and new ones pressed in? As you know by now I am new at this and the only way to learn is to ask questions and just do it. I cant think of anymore questions at this time but any additional info would be great!! I thank you for all your help. Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stomp77 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I let my cousin take my banshee out for 10 minutes he over-revved her, and It shattered my left piston and fried my lower connecting rod bearing. I got my crank rebuilt by TDR tony doukas racing. Best price i could find... splitting the cases is not hard but you'll need an extra set of hands, and most importantly a clymers manual! I was a total noob and my banshee was my very first engine rebuild. I did it all by myself (except for the jugs, I found a local shop to do them for 45 a cylinder) All the rest tho was done at home. Check out this site http://www.thebansheezone.com/Bansheezone/Main.htm its awesome! it will give you a much better idea of what you are looking at. Literally! I hope this helps you, good luck!
