slopoke Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Cranked her up today and went for a spin. Noticed the righthand side would go quiet after easing around a bit then when I would hammer on it it would come back. Got back to the shop only to find when you gunned it it would blow a lot of water out the exaust. I pulled the head and thought I found the prob. An oring was kinda scarred so I replaced all orings. Put it back together and ran it down the road. Still done the going dead on the rh side. I am going to pull the pipes and make sure they are not full of water. Both sides have 210 psi of pressure.

banshee_terror_ Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 warped head maybe.... its a head gasket problem. are you sure its not unburnt fuel spitting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowit Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 OH YEA it loosing water bad. Not pushing it out, its going out the exaust May want to inspect the base gasket on that side. The rubber plug on the exhaust side will start leaking over time and push coolant into the lower end and up and out. The failure should be obvious if you check it. Outside of that, someone might be sneaking up and putting water in your pipes when you are not watching. Have kids?....... B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopoke Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) I will loose a radiator full of water it no time. I just did it all at once. I am going to ck the rubber plug. I wasn't sure where the water would go if they leaked. I pulled the reeds and the rh side is full of water. Pulling jugs shortly. PS WHEN I SAY ALOT I MEAN YOU CAN FILL A CUP UP IT JUST A FEW SECONDS. Edited August 22, 2009 by slopoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopoke Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 just checked/ no bent rods. I think the rubber plug may be leaking not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Shee Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hey guys, I'm having this problem too. Thing is, I just had a well known local shop completely rebuild mine and assemble it. There are literally 10 seconds of runtime on it and it did this same thing....think they screwed up the head gasket? Top to bottom new parts including crank, seals, bearings,cylinder work, pistons and head work. They assembled it and we put it back into the chassis and started it for the 10 seconds that are on it. Coolant was blowing out the right silencer and blew out of the radiator with the cap off .... Whatcha think??? Thanks for any info. you might have.

sheefreak Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Definately don't run it till you figure it out. As mentioned you will hydro lock it and break stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopoke Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Now mine will not pressurize the rad. It is the rubber plug on bottom. Sounds like yours may be the headgasket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Shee Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Yeah, I didn't run it any more....for fear of hydrolock. Took it back to the shop where they figured out that they put the o'ring in upside down. It is directional in the type of head that I have...It's all good now!

Rodneya Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Stay far away from that shop in future. People who make retarded excuses to cover their mistakes are a waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
