Rod blew...need cases and help
Alright..need ur help...my brother's raptor blew its hot rod rod and cracked the cases. I think I found a good set on ebay so thats covered. Here's my dilema though...
Im building up my 660 and want to get a hot rod crank/rod setup to go along with a wiseco 11:1 (+1) 101mm piston and my hot cams stage 2. So I offered my brother my stock stuff, rod, crank, piston, cam even the head if he needs it since Ive got a spare. I just wanna find the best prices on the hot rod setup, wiseco piston, HC S2 and a gasket kit. So far Ebay has these prices... Crank/rod- 224 shipped HC S2- 124 shipped Wiseco 11:1- 135 shipped Complete Cometic gaskets- 68 shipped Puts me at $551 OTD Where do you guys get your parts for cheap? I had my head ported by Trinity Racing and will be calling Sal there to see if he can hook me up but I thought Id ask here. |
Ebay typically has the best prices I have found. 550 doesn't sound bad at all, IMO.
You should go with a CP 12.5 piston with that setup, you can still run pump gas and I think you will see a noticeable low end gain with the added compression. |
a quick update...brother got FREE cases from his mechanic :D still need the rest of the stuff...so far ebay has been the cheapest
|
Sweet! Need to post pics of building it!
|
so now my bro wants to sell it and get a yfz http://allofftopic.com/images/smilie...alm[1].gif
|
Ha ha, got to love that.
|
he's rebuilding it afterall...I wont be able to do the work since his mechanic is giving him the parts but asking for the labor...seems fair imo....so bro got a new sleeve, wiseco 100mm 11:1, hot rods crank, hot cams stage 1.
Im planning on going with wiseco 101mm 11:1, hot rods crank/rod, HC S2 with my Trinity Racing ported head. BTW, my Scotts filter cam in today :D |
well, cam and 11:1 piston are on their way. Didnt go with a 12:1 because I have to run mexican gas some times and the bike doesnt like it with a 9:1..cant imagine what it will do to a 12:1.
Piston $145 shipped Cam: $130 shipped The cam at 124 was a local dude that charges taxes FTS! and couldnt find the seller with the $135 piston :( Will probably need a timing chain but I dont wanna pull the flywheel off...its a pain and comes off VERY violently. What gaskets do you guys recommend? Ive used Cometic but IDK if thats the best out there. |
While Im waiting on my stuff to come in...Ive gone ahead and installed Raptor 700 front calipers and rear shock http://allofftopic.com/images/smilies/pepper.gif
|
put a best offer on a Lone Star Racing +1 swing arm, skid, chain, chain slider and bearing carrier...got accepted so now thats going on as well :D Still need to get my gaskets ordered and a new timing chain...will need a flywheel puller in order to swap chains though :( Its a pain pulling it off, i bent/snapped a few bolts when I did this on my 03.

scored a pair of Kragen HID lights for $100...used but they work and cheap! Gonna copy my bro's light bar and mount them for some summer night riding

sent my X-6 to Embee Performance for a matte silver ceramic coat and just dropped off my cylinder/piston at Trinity to get bored/honed. Also installed LSR+1 last night so as soon as I get my stuff in, Im putting it together and getting it ready for a dyno pull on Trinity's dyno in august.
|
sooo, its been a lil over 3 weeks. bike is back together now, my clutch side carb overflows and its running fat. gotta jet down both carbs some and adjust the float level. after this, I should be set to break in the engine and get ready for the dyno pull in 2 weeks :D
