BlipTheThrottle Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I got over two years of steady riding on my Banshee. I want to freshin up my motor. I have not done a tear down yet to check my cylinders or pistons. I don't want to get all crazy on motor work, and I want to keep relieable but I also want to do a little mod work while I have it apart. If my bore is ok I want to keep it stock. I was thinking of raising the compression? Should I some pistons in it? And what kind? Or, I was looking at the adjustable dome heads? Also, what is the stock cylinder walls made of? Some people say not to hone the cylinders, but I don't see why not??? Last of all, what do you think of the adjustable timing keys?? I want to advance to timing?? Thanks for any help....................................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help....................................... you should check your compression chances are with that many hours your due for a top end.........id get a timing plate over a key..........Noss makes a nice head, around 240 bucks but will improve performance throughout your power band.....

95prerunner Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Just be careful with your fuel octane, I speak from experience. I just melted two brand new pistons and a bore job. I installed the pro-design cool head with 21cc domes and I installed the +4 degree key. I must have had bad detonation because the top of the pistons looked like someone was hitting them with a ball peen hammer. I was told I would have been alright with my combo if I had been running racing fuel. hope my experience helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlipTheThrottle Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Well I took apart top end. It looks great, the cylinders look good, no scoring or strange wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlipTheThrottle Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I am also putting the Tommey throttle kit to eliminate the stock overide system. You have to drill holes through the stock carbs for idle adjustment screws, I am doing that at work on a pression drill press. I still don't know what pistons to put in it?? I was thinking about those Vito power pistons or Wisco's or what ever??????????? Thanks for everyones help on this................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
