FULL '96 Rebuild

The Blaster oil pump has been blamed for many an engine failure, when in fact it has been operator error.

Air leak resulting in a fried piston, blame the pump.

Induced dirt causing abrasion, blame the pump.

Seizure due to low oil, blame the pump.

Incorrect oil, blame the pump.

Air lock in lines from running out of oil or exposing the pickup due to flipping the bike. Failure bleeding the system,
Blame the pump

Cold seizes due to lack of warm up, guess what, yup blame the pump.

Ashtray overflowing, blame the pump!:D:D:D
Very much agree. Still running mine with stock piston and rings from 04, and not a problem. Still have great compression. Maintenence is KEY!

Thanks jerseyblaster. I see you figured out how to post pics lol. Anyway, installing CR500 head studs isnt any sort of a performance mod. I'd call it a reliability mod. The stock studs can pull out (as in my case) so you can opt to put in CR500 studs (required some machining: counterbore, oversize drill and tap) but those suckers wont pull out in a million years. Check out this post for more info:

I'd call ARP and see if they had any studs that'd work.

10 stud Honda Civic drag cars holding 1000+whp? Yeah, ARP is who I'd call if I ever have a problem of the head lifting.
