just wanted some opinions from some of the engine experts on here :blush: towards a 4-stroke and a 2-stroke reliability and the rebuild costs and difficulties.
specifically on the 450r ( 06 ) engine and a Banshee 350 engine.
now on my old banshee the most i did was a top end change once a year for a full rebuild.
clips, pin, bearing, rings, gasket set, sparks plugs. plus air filter cleaning, jetting every now and then, and tranny oil change.
a regular maintainace would be tranny oil change, filter clean and go.
As for my 450r, all i have done is some valve adjustments , engine and tranny oil changes, oil filter, and air filter cleaning as some regular maintaining
but as a full rebuild it would consists of
piston , rings, pin, clips, bearing, valves, recutting seats or new head, could use springs again, seals, timing chain maybe, spark plug, oil filter, oil change, and tranny oil change.
what do you guys think about all this?
i havent got new valves yet, because they seem good, but im sure after or close to 1000 hours i would neeed new valves because they eventually will wear/tight up and cup especailly the intake, and will have to cut the seats or get a new head and maybe a cylinder from piston wall wear or something?
