hursty121 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I got a banshee it has a older hot rod crank it has ben sitting for years the crank was oiled. but he forgot to do the cylinders and they are rusty but it is also bored to a 66.00. I think I could hone it and be okay. But if it wasn't would it be worth boring it? How much life is left with that big of a bore ?

turbowrenchhead Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 66.25 is the max. You can have them sleeved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 66.5 is widely seen as the max. (But mine are 66.75 right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstaton1983 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Depends on how much pitting and how deep...If they are not ported i would look for replacements or have those sleeved and ported.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Find another set and start over or get those set up and hope for the best. Don't bother with sleeving though. There are way to many options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hursty121 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Thanks for all the replies I think I will see if honing it if not may go ahead bore it for 66.25 or 66.50 if that doesn't work will be looking for cylinders. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskool Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 That's a good idea if you just want a fresh top end. Not really worth spending the money to port cylinders at the end of their bores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstaton1983 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 C This may be a dumb question but what happens if to thin Cylinder pressure higher then what the sleeve can handle, distortion, poor heat transfer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
