trickedcarbine Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 How did you know the head gasket looked good if you haven't pulled it yet? White smoke is coolant. NO bullshit, you need to tear it apart and I would be willing to bet you have gulled up aluminum down the bore. Should clean up with some acid and a hone though. Even if the head gasket looks fine, pull the jugs as well. Quote
Surfrjag Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 And pistons are facing the right direction 1 Quote
registered user Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 White smoke is coolant not to get in a pissing match but trans oil is white smoke also. just sayin Quote
trickedcarbine Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 True, but doubtfull in this case. OP. was it makin the coolant system gurgle when you kicked it or ran it? Quote
Dixie normus Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Lol. Too much oil wouldn't cause a topend to drastically lose compression Quote
Deadbeat Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 9yr old bores, no leakdown test...expect the worst from your full topend rebuild Quote
sheerider11 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 I didnt bore it or anything just took old piston and rings out and put new ones in and replaced all gasketsThis here tells me why you have an issue. You cylinders were possibly egg shaped. Why wouldn't you bore them. You said it idled high before it shut off. If you didn't bore the cylinders, I'm thinking you didn't do a leakdown. I'm also curious if you even used new gaskets. Quote
bpomps215 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 I did replace all gaskets, im going to take it all apart today and ill let you guys no what i find Quote
Larry's Shee Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Them holes are sloppier than an Eight Mile Whore. $200+ in pistons wasted, for a $100 bore job= Obama Economics Quote
Larry's Shee Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 BTW, also try another compression tester Quote
bpomps215 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 Im trying to post a pic of when i rebuilt it someone email me and i can send them to show you [email protected], and its a brand new compression tester Quote
Deadbeat Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 where did your buy comp tester from? (harbour freight comp testers suck balls), and it sounds like youre gonna need a bunch of help so its worth downloading the tappatalk app or getting a photobucket account to post pics on here Quote
bpomps215 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 I got it from harbor freight, when i got the tester i tested compression and it was 100-105, so i figured it needed a rebuild so took engine out rebuilt it then started the quad up was running and idling great then broke it in had no problems, then it was more smoke coming out of one exhaust then another then i road it and had it idling and it died and will not start again, it has spark and gas, so the only problem is compression, tested that and its 60-65 in both cylinders, now today later im going to take the top end off and see whats going on Quote
bpomps215 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 The idle was going up and down to high then low Quote
bpomps215 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 heres the picture after i put the new pistons in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
