dufrain Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 The Banshee broke a rod this evening right below the wristpin..It doesnt have much time on the rebuild. It has an aggressive port,stock stroke,vertex pistons,stock style reeds,stock heads,stock carbs 330 mains at sea level 70 degrees,tors removed and no boost bottle,4 degrees timing,t5s,pro flow with k and n.32 to 1 klotz.It always ran good and pulled hard no flat spots idles real slow and great throttle response.Anyone have a guess. I dont think an air leak and I think its jetted fat enough. Could it be over revving or running it too hard on top end too long.I just sold it so I dont know how he was riding it.It does have 18 inch tires and stock gearing.Thanx for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I would bet over reving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'm gonna say over-revving. I gotta rebuild a banshee for a guy locally. He broke a rod and has 18 inch tires just like you and same broken rod scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufrain Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I think the over revving is the cause to, 18s out on the road with as hard as thing thing revs ,I dont see any other thing it could be.,thanx for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
