Banshee rebuild problems


Recommended Posts

Best "Tool" for DIY is a Clymers Repair Manual. Tells how to leak down test, check head for warp. Not a fan of reusing gaskets, the head is a one use only gasket.

I'll have to look into that and I thought it wouldn't be bad bc I only rode it so long and then just took it off to get hoaned

Did uou tq cylinders prior to head?

Are they level?

Are we even sure it's a coolant leak?

I torqued them starting at 10 15 and then 20 and I did like 21-22 bc I had a extension on the ratchet. Everything looks pretty even as far as how far the studs stick out the top the head. And No were not 100% sure about the coolant leak I re used the bottom gaskets(which are like cardboard it felt like?) it doesn't look like it's leaking and I had it started for a couple seconds stall out Then kicked it again boom backfire

Ok I'll get some pics and I'll try to get a video of the smoke and how it sounds. Might be a dumb question but say I called auto zone and asked for a 2 stroke leak down test and they said they had one but not for 2 strokes. Does it matter or does it matter

People have made them work.

But a trip to autozone and home Depot and you can have your own

Yeah.

But still get the coolant pressure tester. It's an easier tester to use
