Aftermarket head? Quote
yamahaman244 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Posted June 17, 2009 Is it a new motor? Aftermarket head? No it has a stock head on it and we just did a top end on just the one side and it is the right side that we redone and that is the side it is doing it on to any ideas Quote

AKheathen Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 did you remember the rubber plug in the bottom of the cylinder? did you retorque the head after a few heat cycles? Quote

If you don't do it correctly you could warp the head. And like AKheathen said you have to heat cycle it and retorque everything again. Quote
yamahaman244 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Posted June 17, 2009 did you remember the rubber plug in the bottom of the cylinder? did you retorque the head after a few heat cycles? okwhat is the rubber plug thing do u guys have any pictures or were i can find wat it looks liek what would that do if the guy didnt put that in and i didnt after the heat cycle but why would there be antifreze by the balance tube thing Quote

AKheathen Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 ok, the rubber plug goes in the bottom of the cylinder before you put it on, but i just realized that the balance tube is above the head. the coolant hose goes down through it, though. you need to replace the head gasket. it's probably all coming from there. don't forget the seequence and retorque. you'd be amazed how loose the nuts get, especially the front.

Ok ya when I start it it like blows or runs some antifreeze down the one side of the jug and it's just the one side then later I just went out there and put my one hand the one were it was leaking and I termed it with my hand and could antifrzze get into your tranny oil Quote
AKheathen Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 if antifreeze is in your tranny oil, then you have a bad water pump seal Quote

Take it off mark the other side with a light scratch. Place in a pan of water and boil for 10 mins. Replace the opposite way you had it on. I know this sounds weird but it works. Its hard to see but the stock head gasket has a slight rise on it and should be placed on the top and not on the bottom. Quote

So that makes sence to u guys about it running down the jug and what about the balance tube if the head gasket is bad why would it Get into there ? Quote

BoostedRex Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 On the tube that goes between your carbs and into your clutch cover there are 2 O-rings and a clip. On mine I had the clip get bent when I put it on and I got a shitload of water in my tranny. I just bought a new clip and O-rings. Problem solved. Quote
