bluebanshee98 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Ok so get the stuff from the builder you choose. Forget about eBay. The others mentioned why ( true and weld Ect Ect) and your supporting the hq sponsors. You don't see eBay doing Dyno testing with different pipes on different motors do you? Support them and keep the sport growing and making steps forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I went through 3 different HR cranks out of the box because my builder didn't like the way the spun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Know what a builder does when you hand them parts?......Slap that shit in. If it was a part HE sourced, it would get a full inspection. The builders don't buy the parts off ebay. They source from the same places as the ebay guys. Let your builder make the mark-up. If the builder sources everything the overall profit pays him. He needs less in labor to make money. Hand him a pile of ebay parts and pay for every move he makes in the assembly of a motor full of parts he WON'T guarantee. Or......keep using that favorite phrase "It's fine" and carry on. How knowledgeable/informed/researched can you be if you are just now looking into who makes a good crank? Stop trying to buy parts and spend your time SAVING for a pro to do it up right. You'll end up buying crap base gaskets and a WIDE variety of 3rd rate junk thinking...."I've done it this way before and it was fine." You don't have the knowledge to decide if those "fine" parts are a 2 on the 10 scale or an 8. Remember a D- is still a passing grade. (Fine) Time to do your homework and start earning some higher grades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbowrenchhead Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm used to the verbal bashing. Some members on here are real dickheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 You guys can quit bashing now. I'm going to bite the bullet and buy my product through the builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 "I'm going to bite the bullet and buy my product through the builder" How the fuck is that biting the bullet? That's the SMART thing to do. I'm used to building my own stuff and not paying through the nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid up, I changed my plugs once in 6 months. Clean my filters after every ride. All good every time I go ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 How has that been working for you....... Before I owned a banshee it worked out great. I built a 11 second Grand National several years ago. Banshee is a different animal. The only issue I'm having is trying to do my own port work. As always the verbal bashing and insults just keep coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The proof of the clues you DON'T have is the fact that you were running monster jets (despite members informing you it can't be right) You built a motor with Monster compression and didn't really know it. (Untill I turned you onto measured and corrected compression ratio testing) You knew nothing about domes other than cc volume size (and pretty much still don't) But you think you only have ONE hole in your game...... I got news for you....that 11second Grand National would have been a solid reliable 10 second car in anyone else's hands for the same money, less wrenching with WAY longer life/reliability. Listening is a skill......You ain't got. Understanding is an art......You can't appreciate. Thinking you know it all is easy.......I got a 12 year old boy. Just ask him....he's got ALL the answers.

turbowrenchhead Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 John! I am listening. I'm having a builder do it this time. I couldn't afford it last year to have it done professionally. As for the grand national remarks. I really don't appreciate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
