dajogejr Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Honestly...look at that piston. Think about how much of the metal made it down into the bottom of your motor as a result, the metal went somewhere...it didn't just vanish. If someone got on here and told you NOT to split the cases and check out the crank, you'd be getting bad advice... A wise friend said "you can go broke trying to save money"... You might be able to save the crank now with new bearings, etc. You probably won't be as lucky next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 When you have a failure like that, you should always open your bottom end if for nothing else to clean the debri out. Some people will tell you to flush it out, that's bull shit in my opinion. The fact that you keep having problems should motivate you to really get to the bottom of the problem. The Banshee is one of the easiest motors to crack open. Once you remove the stator and clutch side components, the top lifts right off and everyting stays in place were it is supposed to. You can check your crank for play by hand to get a ballpark figure if bottom bearings are ok. Rotate one side to top dead center. Grab the rod on that side and lift up and down on it(don't let the crank rotate)if you have play, you have problems. Check the other side the same way. Side to side play is ok. But again, you'd be a fool to not split it open and have your crank checked out, and trued and welded since it is out.($75 at most shops). I don't necessarily think it caught an exhaust port. As Dajogejr mentioned, Possibly deto. Here is a nice little chart to add to your favorites. I don't see on that matches your condition well on here, but nice to have around. http://www.mztech.fsnet.co.uk/workshop/wrk_piston.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
