JamesB88 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I tried to search first but couldn't find anything. My banshee is pretty much stock, t-5s, k&n, tors elemenated. I'm going to rebuild the topend. Does anyone know how much can be milled of the stock head and still be pump gas freindly, if any? Thanks James.

JamesB88 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I did .030" w/zero issues. Thanks for the info guys. I'll probly go .20 just to be on save side. Will there be much gains in milling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a nice bump for the money for sure. I'd pull the timing plate off while you're at it and elongate the holes so you can rotate it and advance the timing. That along with th shaved head will be a real nice bump in power from bottom to top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB88 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I wish I could get the flywheel off to do that. I have a puller but it won't budge. I've even tried my impact on the puller with no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even tried my impact on the puller with no luck. Try putting your puller on the flywheel, put a good bind on it, then take two 2lb hammers with a flat face, put one hammer on one side with the face touching the flywheel, then hit the flywheel with the other. Mine popped right off. I actually stripped out two pullers before I tried this. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB88 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I'll have to give that a try. I have motor back on the bike now so might be easier to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brugal Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I read the post that I quoted wrong. Actually, I just hit the end of the puller with the hammer and the flywheel poped off. I dont think hitting the flywheel with a hammer is a good idea. You could mess up the magnet in the flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prssantana Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 You can also pick up the adjustable timing plate for around 35-40 bucks. Just the ease and peace of mind are worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
