my $200 blaster project

[blasterkid1998]

If its a flip id say go cheaper but atleast somewhat reliable, in that case id try a nimura piston, wiseco bottom end, koyo bearings. Get her broken in with proper heat cycles n call it a day. If it was yours to keep than id put the extra money on parts for piece of mind.

that is almost exactly what I plan on doing but im gonna run this http://www.ebay.com/itm/CYLINDER-PI...Parts_Accessories&hash=item2588a35b73&vxp=mtr i know some are against these cylinders but after chamfering the ports and measuring the piston to cylinder clearance im confident in it.

Question, if you were going to think about getting that kit, why not fo the little bit extra moneyput the +3 stroker?

They are ACTUALY american made, right off their website. they are in Ohio.

wiseco pistons are american made. the cranks are made in china. i had one in my kx300 big bore. the main connecting rod bearing failed which is the always the issue. it took out the top, bottom of a very expensive motor. they also have been known to break in half. stay away from the cranks. pistons are fine. oh, and those cheap ass plastic stuffers will melt and fall aoart inside your motor. buyer beware.

if your mechanic recommends wiseco cranks, find another mechanic.

I just checked my install list, i put in a wiseco pro light piston, and hot rods crank with oem bearings.... That was the cheaper reliable set up i did, my mistake was spending extra money on dealer oem bearings but my paranoid self spent the extra for reasurence. Not sure of hot rods reputation but iv known alot of ppl to run them.

I have heard a lot on hot rods even though my banshee sits with a bad hotrods in it I don't know how it was treatedbefore

 

[Awk08]

the hotrods are my choice behind a rebuilt OEM crank

 

[blasterkid1998]

Parts are starting to come in.

 

[harley1-5]

shell run before you know it

 

[blasterkid1998]

its the wrong gasket but im not sure what its for

 

[blasterkid1998]

i ordered the gaskets from rocky mountain atv so im going to email them tomorrow and get this figured out. i was hoping to have this thing running by the end of today, but that gasket but a end to that

 

[harley1-5]

I hate when that happens don't feel bad a lot of us have gotten the wrong part

 

[blasterkid1998]

well the correct base gasket is on the way. i hope to have it together and doing heat cycles by Friday or Saturday

 

[blasterkid1998]
