Is this a good buy Blaster for sale? Pics

[Chuckthizzle]

I spoke with the guy on the phone he has Pink slip, FMF exhaust. Story goes his daughter was driving down a hill in 2nd for a long time idling super high, ended up heating the piston up and freezing it. How much will this cost to fix? Is it worth the price?

i'd buy one in that condition for $400 everyday if i could.
really nice shape for the year !

lookin at around $250 for a complete topend rebuild

 

[mud runner]

if it is just a simple topend and you do it your self about $150 to 250 or somthing like that

 

[Chuckthizzle]

Require any special tools?

 

[Chuckthizzle]

He says he has Nerf Bars but I dont see them on it? Im am fairly decent with hands on projects but am I going to need to split the case, hone, or bore anything?

 

[mud runner]

if the bottom end is gone you will need to split the cases and to do a topend i think all you need is a tourk wrench but a bottom end rebuild i know you will need snap ring plyers and a tourk wrench

 

[mud runner]

but a clymers manual helps out alot

 

[Chuckthizzle]

WHen do you normally need to rebuild a bottom end? And becuase she had it rving high in 2nd gear wouldnt the clutch need replacing?

 

[dksix]

As a preventive measure, you would like find some play starting in the big end bearing when changing the piston. But on Blaster's, it's normally after the engine seizes and a chunk of piston skirt goes down to the bottom. Unfortunately, that often requires new or repaired cases.

Ok Dksix, I think I will check it out $400 is not too much, Ismt that about the prics for a FMF exhaust set up on Ebay.

Used FMF systems sale at around $160 used on eBay. There are always some on there for $200+ but I think those are the same ones that were there a year ago and on the other end, sometimes you can get lucky. The one I have I won for right around $100. I've got a brand new complete KOR topend sitting here is the shop (ported cylinder, rechambered head, Wiseco piston kit and OEM topend gasket set), just in case you want to go all out with your new engine. I've heard the KOR topend is the stuff.
