houghkyle Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I just got my cylinders bored and ported and I am getting ready to install everything. FYI....this is the first time I have done a top end on a banshee. What kind of lubrication do I need to put on the cylinder walls after I clean all the honing dust out. Also, do I need to lubricate anything else before I install it all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1JUANstunna Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Use what ever 2 stroke oil you use to mix in your gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houghkyle Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Are the cylinder walls the only thing I need to lubricate with that oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1JUANstunna Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I always do the walls, wrist pin bearing, and lil in the crank bearings if everything is new. That why everything isn't dry when you try to start it Use a thin thin coat! Don't go crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houghkyle Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 This is a stupid question and I am probably going to get a lot of crap for asking, but where would I find the crank bearing in the top end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1JUANstunna Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Big round things in the case. Their is lil holes in the case to let lube in. Put a lil oil there and on the big end of the rod too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Clean the cyl until a white paper towel comes out white. JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houghkyle Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I was told to clean the cylinders with hot soapy water. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emhyr Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 only if you get them dry fast, but better to use a premix to clean the jugs than paper towels to make them dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zillaguy Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Make sure reeds and intakes are removed...Clean the cylinders in mineral spirits, inside and out, very good... Blow them dry with compressed air, inside and out until dry.. Lube cyl walls lightly, lube upper and lower rod bearings, also lube piston rings.. use whatever brand of 2 stroke oil you use.

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Place your 2-stroke mixing oil on a folded paper towel. Then buff the insides of your cylinders until you can do that and not see dark spots on the paper towel. Then you KNOW all the hone residue is off the cylinder wall surface. Plus your cylinder walls will have a nice thin coat of oil on them. Oil your ring grooves and rings and work your way thru all the oil galleries of the rotating assembly.
