bluebanshee7 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yup prolly let some coolant in there someway or another but im not 100 since i have stock head My auto parts store didn't have all the leak down test parts so I decided to take the head off the one piston. And the piston arm that attaches to the rod is really loose and there's pieces of metal inside the exhaust pipe and around the piston area...what broke? I can literally shake my whole piston around, it's really loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98_sheester Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Well the rod has side to side play but should have no up n down play and your piston skirt prolly broke off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebanshee7 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I refer you to post #5. I'm not splitting the case myself. Might just bring the motor to a shop that works on these things by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98_sheester Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Man thats gonna be an extra 1500 wasted and however much more after they fuck it up just a personal opinion id do a site sponsor or yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm not splitting the case myself. Might just bring the motor to a shop that works on these things by me Not my worry, but I heard that Ben Dover is the mechanic there. My guess will be $1259.99 out the door. Let us know. Really tho, there is no engine easier to split than a Banshee, even this old, grey, caveman can do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motor is off my bike already. I'll just be doing alot of research to split this thing. Does that Clymer book show how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
