Bennett131 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Have the crank welded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsasheething Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Not to be a dick but i wasnt asking if i should have crank welded or not. We all know it should be. If the funds pop up that i can afford to have the crank welded i will but as of right now its a no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I will be a dick. I'll forgot the other thousand for the rest of the build. Mild build you'll be fine. You'll know when it twists, lol. Presume fresh bore? I say forged. The advantages out weigh the disadvantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsasheething Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 50 bucks plus shipping to and from plus new seals upwards of 100 bucks...im not drag racing, with gobs of compression so therefore i dont see the reason to weld the crank at this time.

Larry's Shee Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Guys blow $1,000 cranks. Especially if it's a stock crank, not worth the $$$ and effort. It'll give ya something to do this winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Not for nothing even if you had an 06 shee the crank seals would be almost 10 yrs old , when the bike eats itself and all your new stuff too from bad crank seals you'll be kicking yourself in the ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I just see money being thrown down the tubes on a top end , did you pressure test motor before tear down to verify seals are good and pin point reason for failure. Banshees get a bad wrap because 99% of owners fail in proper procedure on teardown and assembly. Where do u live I would be willing to point you in the rite directions.

Strm Trpr Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 T3's are old school drag racing pipes. Good luck on the trails with that shit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 simple forged. 100% stock replacement i'd say cast should be fine. one thing cast will usually NOT wear the bore as much as a forged piston. if the motor stays together and you do wear out a set of rings/ pistons sometimes the bore is still true enough to drop in a set of fresh cast. sometimes not every time. piston to wall clearance is much more important on cast also. to tight even a lil bit that sucker is going to cold sieze, too loose even a smidge that skirt is blowing out the pipes. i didnt read all the other posts on this q..

sheerider11 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Cast pro x in the girls bike. Ported stock stroke that she'll rev the piss out of (as much as the pipes let her) And that I ride like I stole it. No problems after a year. Pistons on hand for the boring process and obviously guy knew it was for cast. Not a dealership that'll just bore to whatever size then go to the back and grab you Pistons.
