99LRDblaster Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 That piston look like it might have gotten warm...... yeppers you can see how the rings never did seat by the blow by past the rings and the scoring of the piston from either an air leak or extremely lean jetting.

fixitrod Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 (edited) That looks like a 4 corner seizer to me. I think it's caused by not letting the motor warm up properly. But, the tops of those pistons sure look like they got hotter then hell. Edited April 20, 2004 by fixitrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MULLET~BOY Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 cold seisure people let your bikes warm up wtf douse 5 minuts matter lean jetting or a air leak would make a nice fat hole in the top of the piston hell what do i know just a dumb banshee rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee-gurg2k1 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 (edited) How often do you see carbon build up in the intakes? ummm pretty often for those who do not run real clean burning oils(which is most people). the shit begins to buildup on the rough spots of the windows. How about you read back through this post like I've told you 20 times to see how it atomizes better. doesnt really explain how it works. Do you you really think hollywood knows something that every other builder doesn't? its not something every builder needs to know. carbon has a harder time sticking to a smooth surface. ive seen numerous people run polished intakes and none of them have any porblems at all with an inadequate burn. i just got back from a friends that just tore down a shee and he took a die grain bit to the bridges and kinda beveled them(nothing catastrophic) but he polished his intakes on his banshee and his previous one and guess what? no probs. no signs of fuel globbing in portions of the head from burns. they run like raped apes too. You only wish that was crank horsepower ok find me a dyno sheet showing the RWHP of a shee since your so sure. there is NO WAY a STOCK banshee is putting down 35hp at the wheels. I could care less what you have stated, some small atmospheric changes aren't going to make a 50% HP difference the last i checked a tenth of a horsepower isnt a 50% change. so keep trying to make up excuses why HWDs motors are such slugs yet youve never rode one or seen one run its not something every builder needs to know. carbon has a harder time sticking to a smooth surface. ive seen numerous people run polished intakes and none of them have any porblems at all with an inadequate burn. i just got back from a friends that just tore down a shee and he took a die grain bit to the bridges and kinda beveled them(nothing catastrophic) but he polished his intakes on his banshee and his previous one and guess what? no probs. no signs of fuel globbing in portions of the head from burns. they run like raped apes too. How much testing have you done to prove that they're getting adequate burn? None? Just because you know some guy who polished the intakes on his banshee doesn't mean you're right. I am into drag racing and if polishing the intakes added HP I would see more people doing it, but the only people I see doing it are the people that need to use a gimmick to sell their products. If you don't understand how a rough intake is better then maybe you should read this: http://www.macdizzy.com/porting103.htm ok find me a dyno sheet showing the RWHP of a shee since your so sure. there is NO WAY a STOCK banshee is putting down 35hp at the wheels. How is it impossible? I bet you wouldn't believe that a built 350 on alky could put out 90 HP at the wheels either would you? Dave Moore has done it and shown a dyno to prove it. Here you go, http://www.teamracersedge.com/dc-banshee.htm the last i checked a tenth of a horsepower isnt a 50% change. I wasn't referring to the .1 HP change between the rifled and stock carb I was referring to the horsepower versus the other ported blasters I have seen. yet youve never rode one or seen one run I don't need to see one run to know that 23HP is pretty pathetic. Maybe we should talk about how Hollywood trys to tell these kids that a long rod increases displacement? Just shows what kind of a scammer this guy is.

shee-gurg2k1 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Now Hollywood is on his board posting under his made up name about how porting the reedcage is useless and rifling is much better what a load of crap, i got my carb rifeled and the mid range is sweet, it hits so strong but this ported reed cage thing is a load of shit if you ask me i looked at the reed cage and theres nothin but a 10ths lip that will hardly affect air flow, anyone payin money for that crap is just gettin ripped an dont no any better, aint it like 35.00 to just ruff up the inside of the cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shee-gurg2k1 Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Doesn't make any sense, if it was another basher then how come 'he' has work done by hollywood? You seem so confident that rifling and polishing the intakes work but you have never seen a scrap of proof from HWD that it works and EVERYONE else who knows about motors says its a load of crap, I don't understand how you can still think it works. You have no reason to HWDs IP has matched tesscos on 3 different websites, HWD has reasons to bash CP, he's immature, he's done this in the past to Trenga and the only thing tessco has ever posted anywhere was bashing CP and promoting HWD. It is him, I don't need to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. I have all the proof I need. If it was somebody using a different ISP then I would believe its not him but all the evidence points at HWD. your destroying the mans business How do you figure I'm destroying his business? All he needs to do to end all this is show a flow sheet to show that his designs work. Usually I wouldn't care, but this guy goes out of his way to make it seem like he is the best and everyone else sucks so I want to see some proof if he is going to bash everyone else. He won't even TELL people how it works. He just expects everyone to send him money and he'll make them go fast. That might be good enough for you but that sure as hell isn't good enough for me.

You have no reason to ive seen no proof to contain that it doesnt work. the customers feel an improvement, the dyno shows an improvment, etc. if all of this comes true every time then how is it false.

That might be good enough for you but that sure as hell isn't good enough for me not every single company on the planet has a flow bench machine and a dyno. marc and his customers have all explained multiple tiems how his designs work. also he doesnt make himself to be the best. he customizes customers ports unlike bigger names that just slap their pre ported kits on there. i have no doubt that soemthing with a drag port could beat him in terms of dragging. boyesen and Vforce dont have flow bench results anywhere posted. i guess that makes them lame, inaccurate, and unreliable then. they are just not good enough for naybody then since they dont have that. most people dont end up on the internet searching for what pipes work best from dyno sheets. you see people buying cheap ass DG pipes and thinking they are great until they get beat by a blaster or banshee with a healthy set of toomey's, LRD, or CPI's. it comes in pretty clear that derrrrr they are better. LRD has never dhwon a dyno for the blaster and yet they are among one fo the best aftermarket pipes out for blasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squish Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Spray wd40 in the carb. The air goes in faster. And cut the reed cage in half to shorten the time it takes the gas to atomize even though it goes around the crank 1.36745944 times before it goes up the transfers and gets squashed. I also chrome plated my exhaust port. bling bling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffdenman Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 I talked to one of the guys that works for hollywood dirt yesterday, and if you think your hurting their business by bashing them, well guess what, your not. They have doubled business since last year and have 5 current builds going on for nationals and are currently doing flat track blasters, not to mention they have done over 150 port jobs to date and just signed the papers for a new shop being built, seems like all the shee-gurg bashing is just making Hollywood dirts customer base stronger, maybe you should keep it up, I'm sure your going to help them finish the year with some great sales figures, you guys don't know much about marketing skills do you, a good business man can turn negative comments into sales figures, I know I was very satisifed with the work they did for me, I also found out that Mark doesn't even work the message boards any longer becasue he has no time, he has people sign on and do it for him, I think some of you are just jealous to see a guy succeed at a growing business and would like to see it fail because you don't understand some of his designs and just want to show YOUR maturity by talking down towards them, some day when you grow up and have to make a living on your own you'll see how ignorant you really were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidj5491 Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 In your earlier you post, you mentioned that you are getting a dirt bike and that's what real men ride........ shit you only wish you could hold on to something like my 87 banshee son...... He has 5 current builds going on........ wow, am I impressed. That's almost an untouchable number. That just really makes K&T's 38 motors that they are working on seem like nothing....... Not to mention that some of these motors go overseas too, not just the US. Fact of the matter is this. You can go with any builder, and may make more power. But there are builders out there that take this to a higher level. Their performance speaks for itself. As I said before, these builders have been building performance engines for a lot longer, and if they thought these things made their motors perform better, they'd do it. I'm expecting my cyls back from K&T next week. I will take pics when I get them back so that I can show what a quality port job looks like. And I can garauntee you they won't have polished intakes......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
