ok So Ive decided to rebuild my engine that was blown due to lack of oil... Right now I have two main questions... also I want to know of some aftermarket parts that should be bought while I have it torn apart or which parts are better stock.. for ex my mechanic told me that a stock crank is better than a hotrods crank and Im new into the realm of ATV engines so anyhelp would be appreciated...
Keep in mind that 1. I dont want the biggest and baddest part just good value for the money.. not expensive but not somethings that just gonna break with 20hrs on the engine either...2..The only real power enhancers I was looking at before the engine blew was a 11:1 Compression Piston and a Hotcams Stage 2 Cam.. thats really all I want as far as power goes to give you an idea..so here are my two questions a.t.m.
1. What would be the better crankshaft to put in this thing for the money & Im talking longer term reliability.. Stock?
2. I need to buy a new clutch and basket since it was run out of oil.. what would be the better clutch to buy? stock or aftermarket
I know that most aftermarket parts are better than stock parts but my mechanic told me with the crank especially if you buy an aftermarket and it breaks the rod then the whole engine is completely destroyed and I dont want that... so any of you people that have had the expierence with all these parts and shopping please give me some insight.. so far Im looking into around $2000 at max for the total build not counting labor because I have to buy a new one of everything pretty much lol..
-Thanks in advance
