Author Message   Dfbutler Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 01:54 pm:        A different thread showed my broken piston and the missing piece is in crank case so the engine has to come out to retrieve the missing pieces. There is no more knowledgeable group for things Buell, so any suggestions as to things I should look at while tearing down? The bike is a 99 S3 with about 50K miles. Suggestions as to how to get the broken piece out of the crank case? I'll be putting in another Revolution Performance 1250 kit in. Should I do anything to the heads?   Firebolt020283 Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 02:03 pm:        I would say get a nice head job since you are going with a big bore kit but then again that depends on your budget.   Skntpig Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 02:30 pm:        oil pump drive gear   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 03:15 pm:        oil pump 26357-02B and oil pump drive gear 26391-06 ...   Fasted Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 04:02 pm:        generally speaking, a good headjob has a happy ending..................   Preybird1 Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 04:34 pm:        lol   Firebolt020283 Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 04:41 pm:        lol I guess I opened my self up for that one.   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 06:39 pm:        The one and only TRUE ANSWER is "CUBIC INCHES"   Chasespeed Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 06:45 pm:        'Bolt, as long as your not GIVING the head job... I guess you are safe.... Back on Topic... more displacement... Headwork and 536 cams will make for a very happy engine, and rider... Chase   Preybird1 Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 10:09 pm:        +1 more displacement If i had my motor off and it was me i would ship the whole thing to nrhs and have the works done to it, Hey chase im liking your cam numbers. Man it almost makes me want to do it just because it would be so bad when it was done!   Dfbutler Posted on Sunday, December 07, 2008 - 12:03 pm:        Thanks for the input. Does anyone have a suggestion on getting the pieces from the piston out without total dis-assembly?   Buellistic Posted on Sunday, December 07, 2008 - 12:18 pm:        Think about this: Any metal(soft or hard)will will have to pass through the return side of the oil pump and into the oil tank ... Now if you did not PRODUCT IMPROVE your oil system as "i" have done with a return line oil filter to the oil tank this same metal will go through the feed side of the oil pump to the OEM oil filter position before it is stopped ... It is not a good idea to have metal trying to pass through the return and feed side of the oil pump, "SO" it be cleaned out of the engine ...   Jstfrfun Posted on Sunday, December 07, 2008 - 02:11 pm:        Ever heard of shrapnel? Same theory   Bad_karma Posted on Sunday, December 07, 2008 - 11:56 pm:        It wold be a shame to get this put back together just to have metal filings trash your build. Separate the cases and clean all well. A good check of the rods/bearings and crank halves alignment would be a nice bit of security. Good luck Joe   Yo_barry Posted on Monday, December 08, 2008 - 07:26 pm:        I'd replace the primary chain tension shoe if it hasn't been done.
