Jbeck103 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Just put in a new top end on my banshee. Its runs fine but has a coolant leak coming from the headgasket coming through the UP sign on the headgasket on the inside of the motor??? Anyone ever come across this? Only leaks when system is pressurized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes brand new headgasket, came with a full gasket kit. I used the proper torque spec. and procedure too. Tomorrow im gonna snug the nuts on the head down a tad bit more if all it needs is to get squshed that little bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the manual torque specs werent quite enough! I just went around all the nuts on the head and gave each a few more degrees with the wrench and it sealed it right up, makes me feel better now i can get break it in and ride it already!
