bigboybanshee Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 ok thx a lot ! I will let u guys know what happens i installe the other plate ! do i need a gasket on both sides of the spacer plate or some black gasket meaker will be fine ?thx again to everyone for the help! I imagine you'd need to put something on both sides of the plate. I've never installed a plate before, I just know where they go, lol. I'm not sure what size base gasket you're using, but if it's .020, I personally would try to find two .010 gaskets to use. That may not be how it's done but that's what I would assume. I'm sure someone who's put one on can verify about the gaskets. After you're done installing the cylinders, rotate your pistons around to ensure they do not stick out the top of the cylinder. Once you know they won't hit the dome, install your head. A lot of people don't run spacer plates at all, they have the cylinders ported for the 4mil stroke, and have domes cut to accomodate the piston rising out of the cylinder.

BigRed350x Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 If you insist on using the retarded spacer plate instead of getting custom cut domes... you want to have a base gasket, spacer plate, another base gasket, then your cylinders, then your cool head. If you have the spacer plate on top your port timing will be so messed up the poor banshee will never run right. The better way to fix this setup would be to ditch the spacer plate completely... Run a single base gasket, then your cylinders, then get a set of custom cut domes to match your positive deck height you will have with the 4mil crank and go from there. If you ever want to make the banshee run right you NEED to get your cylinders ported for the 4mil crank. All the time you will spend being mad at how crappy your budget built 4mil runs you could have sent your cylinders off to Kevin at Herr Jugs, had them ported for the 4mil and back to you & done the right way. Ditch the spacer plate, port your cylinders, and get some custom cut domes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
