No Chinese crap here, replacing with all Wiseco parts! I will call around and see if someone can tig weld this for me in Colorado, unless you think QuickSteel or JB would do the trick. I think I can probably rub out the rough groves by hand. Thanks Slydog!

So I split my case last week to replace the crank after seeing that my connecting rod was broken and saw something I didn’t want to see. After cleaning and inspecting the case halves, I realized there is a small crack in the case where the crank sits as well as some deeper gouges. To buy new...

Well, I finally got my case halves clean and did a full inspection and think my cases have finally met their end. The transmission case half has a crack where the crank shaft sits and looks like a bigger piece could also break off. The other half is really torn up from wheare the connecting rod...

I did clean the case well before splitting, so it’s in pretty good shape already. As far as install the bearings, I was going to put the bearings on dry ice before dropping them into the warmed up case. The problem with the pandemic is my wife is never not home, so I probably won’t be able to...

I finally tracked down the load noice and determined that the connecting rod was cracked, so I have embarked on my first ever case splitting. I have taken everything apart and used about a dozen ziplock bags to keep things organized. Before I put the case back together, I think it would be...

I think when I snapped the picture I had just put the kicker back in and hadn’t tensioned the spring. I’ll get back outside when it warms up in a day or two to take another look. Thanks - Ken

The sequence of events is quite lengthy. Last summer my son was riding about half mile from the house he said, it just stopped. I rod down and took a look and a couple of the housing bolts from the bottom-end had worked themselves out and a couple others were loose. I put it in neutral and...

Took a little doing to get it into neutral, but afterwards I am am able to see all the gears turning when I turn the clutch basket, I can’t really turn the clutch basket by hand, instead I had to use a strap wrench around the basket. I can hear/feel compression and see all the gears spinning. I...

Thanks, I’ll dig into this tomorrow since it will be 23 degrees and snowing here in Denver tomorrow.

First off, let me say I’m a novice and my 11 year old son keeps saying, “can we just pay someone to fix it”, but I am stubborn and want to understand how this all works. Last fall I put a new top end on our 1996 Blaster and finally got around to putting on the exhaust last weekend. I went to...

My son and I just finishing rebuilding the top-end and it started right up on the 2nd kick, and has great compression. Unfortunately, the rattling noise is still occurring, so where to next? I am thinking of pulling the drain plug and then taking off the crankcase and ignition case covers and...

I got out to the garage today and pulled the top-end off and the cylinder looks pretty good, but the piston does have some pretty deep gauges and the cylinder head does have a lot of carbon buildup on it. Here are some quick picks before I remove the piston and order a rebuild kit, think this...

Hi guys - A couple weeks ago I bought my kids a 1996 Blaster to run chores around our farm. We tested it out, bought new rear tires and sent my son out. About 30 minutes later he comes walking back and says, “it is making a weird noice and it stopped”. I grabbed the tractor and towed him back...
