Dogmeat Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 My banshee has a chariot cool head, I was driving this weekend and it started heating up to around 250F it usually runs at 150, when I got back I checked the rad and it was half empty.. When I filled it up and gave it a kick water shot out ov the rad about 3feet . Checked compression one was 15 below normal.. When I you'll it apart there was no damage or cracks in the cylinders or head .. I fig it was my orings but they looked fine.. No peices missing..and nothing looks warped??

rg97 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 im surprised theres nothing wrong with the motor. thats really hot. where did you measure the heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I took off the cover and the impeller looks fine, I didn't take it out tho, it's the coolant shooting out ov the rad 3 ft is the problem. I don't have the new orings yet but was wondering if the orings could have got so hot that they could have melted so they wouldn't seal good? Can u get pressure from your head in your rad from your impeller??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Heat was measured coming out of head(front hose coming from head) it actually got hotter than that once or twice.. But cylinders and pistons look A1.. I put a straight edge on the cyl, head, and domes and all look good by eye.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rg97 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 unless they re some cheap material, they shouldnt melt. like lilstvn said, something seems way wrong. running 180F, maybe just a fluke. running 250F, you know you have problems. you might not know if everything is fine unless you tear the motor apart, but if you think everythings ok with the motor just by eye, ride on. dont complain to me when something major happens though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 If u read the problem isn't overheating the problem is From overheating .I overheated because I had low fluid. I have no overflow bottle.. Also my entire top end is off and apart.. I don't know how I could check anything better unless bringing it to a machine shop to verify nothing is warped..

toytech Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 you should pull the clutch cover and check the water pump gear also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I just did a hydro test on just the cylinders and it is not leaking.. Could I get pressure in my system threw my water pump gear without getting water in my bottom end oil? If so that's might be where my problem is..

toytech Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 no but it could have caused the overheating that hurt something else. it has to be getting cylinder pressure in the cooling system to shoot out coolant like that. pressure check the cooling system again.

Dogmeat Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Just did a presure test ov the system with the head off, by plugging head inlet and outlet hose and the on that goes into the top of the head, pumped it to 13lbs , then to 40 by plugging the rad overflow . No leaks at all, problem Has to be in top end.. But I couldn't c a head seal to fail that bad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toytech Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I had a head gasket on a stock head that shot coolant to the ceiling in my garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Been there done that, what kind of head, compression, timing, and fuel are you set up to run?" Mine was cracked where the manufacturer machines "cooling grooves" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that you're here, but your knowledge is mostly outdated hearsay and you have come to this forum giving the most rediculous suggestions/solutions/scenarios many of have heard in a long while. Please do a little bit more reading before trying to educate others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
