I won a Banshee on ebay the other night which was claimed to have been "bored, stroked and blue-printed". My logical request after winning the item was to request proof of these services being performed so I dont get pinched on the sale. I'm concerned that the seller misrepresented the atv and after having the shee shipped I'd be up a creek with no recourse to send it back.
The seller is backing their statement of the engine work solely on there being a spacer plate at the base of the cylinder. The easy way to determine if this information is correct would be to get out a caliper and measure the stroke, which the seller refused to do. I requested photo proof of the spacer plate and these are the pictures sent. Looks a little thicker than a base gasket but not the 2mm or so of a spacer that would be.
I'm asking you guys for some help here since I'm fairly green when it comes to Banshee's and engine mods. Does this look like enough to conclude the engine has been stroked? Should I push for more details or just run far away on this one?
