Scrap2000 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Well I finally did it... YAY...Blew it up. I was riding it 6th gear 3/4 throttle for a pretty long time.. thats all it took for it to blow hehe. So the left piston blew up the bottom half is in pieces it basically shattered the bottom of the piston. The Connecting Rod bear thats on the crankshaft is toast. I need a new crank. So my 00' Shee is stock this is what it has: T5 Toomey's,Jetted 280 Mains and 25 Pilots,Thats about it. The head doesnt look cut. Confused about new cranks I'm looking at. I see cranks for strokers...but i dont think i need that. This is what I want something pretty fast but not like drag racing...we do a lot of trail riding but do hit roads and race so something i can shit and get it with and have a good time on trails. I'm sure you guys see these posts all the time hope you can help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 HotRods +4 stroker, and some Weisco pistons. Can't go wrong with that man. Huge power difference over the stock stroke. Especially if you get the cylinders ported. Shit and gets, and great for a trail setup. And don't let people tell you it ain't reliable, cause it is. As fas as I'm concerned, it's more reliable than a stock motor. I ride mostly nothing but fast/aggressive trails, and it works good for me. I'm like Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, so I have plans for a +10 stroker. But a +4 doesn't require any case machining. Put it in, and go............. Remember, if you get it stroked, you need to at least get the ports cut 2mm's up and 2mm's down, and have the head machined so the pistons don't smack it. Or, you could just get a spacer plate, to avoid the head problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPEN Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Well i'm prolly not gonna go with a stroker but where can i find good deals on hotrod cranks? Give Jeff at F.A.S.T. Racing a call.. One hell of a good guy and will be able to set you up with ALL the parts you need.. Otherwise I agree that if you got a few bucks to spend and have to replace a crank anyhow you might as well go 4mill.. I have been VERY happy with how mine runs!

jbooker82 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Yep do the stroker. You will need the following Hot Rods 4mill Long Rod crank from fast $435 A set of Wiseco 795 Series Pistons and cool head with stroker domes or a stock head that has been rechamberd for the stroker crank. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiz Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Give Lewie a call he builds THE BADDEST cranks around, and noramlly has decent deals on Hot Rod Cranks also. If you just want to re-buid your crank he will do that cheap...AND off the stock bearing on your crank and put on a TZ..the bearings on those Hot Rod cranks are JUNK.... he also builds some of the fastest bikes on the planet or something for playing he can do your porting and your head work also. 503-663-7711 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 It will cost only a little more to go to a 4mil, make sure you get a long rod crank though. You will need the 795 series pistons for the longer rods. The benefits of the 4mil are not only more power, but a more broad useable power band. You do not have to have it ported for the increased stroke, but it is highly recommended to get the most out of it. You have three options as far as fitting the stroke, I will list them in order from most recommended to least recommended. 1)coolhead with stroker domes 2)rechambered stock head 3)spacer plate under cylinder I don't recommend the third method for 2 reasons:1)prone to air leaks,2)port timings will be off...raising the port timings should be left up to an experienced engine builder, not a plate.
