jameslinn83 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 So here is my situation. Got the banshee out for a ride last week and ended up taking out the rod bearing on the crank on the right side. From what I have been reading my best option is to buy a used crank is I want to go back to the stock crank. BUT who wants to stay stock right??? So the more I was reading I have been finding that a 4 mil stroked crank might be what I should go with. My question is what will I all need to purchase in order to make this happen as my motor up to this point has been all stock internally. I know I need the crank and a rebuild upstairs, but do I need to port? Carbs stock still ok? anything else at all? Any help would really be loved as I wanna get her up and ripping soon. Also I was considering vitos super stock pistons before I was thinking about the stroker crank, what pistons do I need now?

vulvafan537240 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 with a 4mill crank you can either go with long rods or standard length rods. for the long rod youll need to use 795 series wiseco pistons. for the std rod you can use std pistons. the best setup is to get it ported and get a cool head with stroker domes or machine the stock head.

So from what I have been reading I think that the long rod is better because it puts less stress on internal parts giving you more reliability? I was hoping to just continue using my stock head as I dont have the money to throw into that now also so what do I have to do to it to make that work? Also where should I go for porting and what do I tell them I want? Sorry never done any two stroke motor work before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 There are several great builders/porters, who are also members on here. Talk to them, and go with whoever you're most comfortable with. Yes, you can have your stock head machined, to match the stroke. You are also correct about the longrods. They relieve pressure from the sides of the piston skirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NN2 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Who are a few of them, I am new to this site. F.A.S.T (Jeff is the contact and a site sponsor), Passion Racing (Jim is the contact), Herr Jugs Racing (Kevin is the contact), and a bunch of others but those are usually near the top of the list. Most everyone that is well known offer good port jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 A whole lot of other things go w/going faster so plan for more than just the crank and top end.....Timing plate, pancake bearing, longer swinger, more tire, lockup clutch, override, etc.....

bbcmudtruck Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 If you want more power, and need a new crank, this is the time to go +4. Contact a builder in the "sponsor spotlight" link at the top of the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
