right so i am close to starting reassembly(this is my 1st rebuild)
what should i look out for????
will i need a crank puller??
 
You'll need a flywheel puller to get the flywheel off, I'm not sure about a crank puller, I got mine off with a rubber mallet but a puller might be a safer way to go. Make sure you clean everything good, and throw some grease on your gears when you reassemble.

When you pull the clutch watch out for the little ball bearing in between the pushrod and clutch.

Something I messed up on was when I was installing the crank seal on the flywheel side, I pressed it in too far and it ended up rubbing on my crank causing drag so I had to split the case again to push it back out.

Just a few tips, good luck with it.
 
yea the local fab shop made me a flywheel puller....! i just have to put it all back right..!!
yea i still have that lil bearing....! its a small f*cker of a thing..!lol..!!!
yea ill try get in the crank with out a crank puller....!!!rubber mallet and my dad has a hydrolic puller from the workshop so i might get it in with that....
thanks guys I:I
any other tips????
 
no such thing...theres a certain type of sealant to use. i reccommend building you own leakdown tester...they are cheap and easy to use/make. and they work wonders.

they are for making sure you have no air leaks before installing the engine. you wouldnt believe where air can come from!!! air leaks are hell on an engine....i can link you up to a thread where one was built.....
 
side note, the example engine...is my banshee engine. hahaha sealed up tight, jetted great, runs like a champ....
