    KOR Engine Assembly Vids

    I've done 3 engines this way. Other than getting the crank trued. I use 1 7/8 trailer ball hitch to heat up and transfer the heat. The skirt on the ball hitch works great. The threads are smaller than the bearing and slide through.

    Yz259 question with bore sizes

    These are not Blaster jugs. No boring in a plated jug. You will not only be measuring piston clearance but also ring gap on your new piston. Measure the bore top and bottom. I have a YZ125 with a new Nikasil plated jug from Mellinium plating. Thats the way to go. They can exchange a new plated...

    Boring on a blaster

    The blaster sizes are (66 being stock) 66.25, 66.5, 66.75, 67, up to 68. Have the shop measure it first and then pick the next size up. Then take the piston and jug back to the shop to get it bored. 55$ seams to be the rate for bore and hone.

    Confused about oil

    The yellow blaster in my pic went 5 years on one piston with the injector. Had 2 with it removed but hated mixing the gas sitting beside two 4 strokes.

    Best trail tires?

    I run Mud Sharks. Freaking things last a long time. Massive grip. Just a opinion.

    98 blaster getting no spark

    Try disconnecting the 2 key hook ups. (Will start without key) Take a multi meter and test both ends of each wire to see if there are any shorts. Look over all connections to make sure all colors/stripes match up. Look over all grounds to make sure they make contact with the frame. (no paint in...

    Need a new crank

    You should be able to replace crank, piston, wrist bearing, base gasket, oil seals, clutch case gasket, and boar to head for less than $600

    Plate Guide for older Nissin rear brakes

    I have a blaster that I am bringing back to life and have been looking around for the "plate guide" in the older Nissin cable brake off a mid 90's blasty.

    Finnishing bottom end - Tusk crank installer

    1 7/8" trailer ball works well too. About the same skirt. I had one handy. Everything came together nicely. Thanks

    Finnishing bottom end - Tusk crank installer

    2" trailer ball hitch.......Great idea. Thanks How hot am I looking to get the inner race too? I understand the bearing tightening. Is there a ball park temperature the race should measure?

    Finnishing bottom end - Tusk crank installer

    I agree. I am having issues getting the inner race of the last crank bearing any hotter than 110 degrees. Thats about all the heat transfer i can muster. I do not have a puller. Ken's methods have proven great through the bearing seating and stator side crank seating.

    Finnishing bottom end - Tusk crank installer

    I have a bottom end I and trying to close. I have noticed the tusk crank installer has m12 at 1.25 thread attachment, But the blaster crank has m12 1.00 threads on the crank. How well does the tool work with the mismatch? I have used heat to get me through the crank bearings and installing the...

    Weisco Crank question....

    Weisco pistons in both my Blasters. One on 3rd Season and running strong. One in daughters on 1st season and holding strong. They get out once or twice a month for day long quad park trips. Quads will upgrade by next spring. 3rd Blaster is being built. But Pudvah - you nailed it on the head. Thanks

    Weisco Crank question....

    Interesting. Wonder if they sell any at all. According to "Bansheedave" they will all fail after install. Its a wonder they don't have a law suite against them. Fancy they sell them with such a high fail rate. hmmmm Whell sorry my neighbor has a truing jig. His son raced Team Green and runs a...
