02Bansheeee Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 This problem has been going on since we bought my brothers Shee a year ago and fully rebuilt it. Bottom end and top end was rebuilt according to clymers. We have has a problem with it getting really hot. At one point we thought it was fixed, but turns out it wasn't. Recently it has started puffing a lot of white smoke only out the right side after the engine has been ridden for about 20 minutes and you start it. ( doesn't puff the cloud after it's started ) and it has also started idling higher after it warms up. Then the coolant level is dramatically lower than what it was filled to with just about nothing In the overflow. I think maybe it's spitting out of the over flow. & I did a coolant flush today thinking that might solve it but it's still doing it. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? And it has the stock impeller and it was working last time I checked it about 3 months ago. Also the Shee has gotten so hot that the coolant has melted the plastic inlet on the overflow, we ended up drilling a new hole. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
sprinklerman Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 Did you rebuild the waterpump? What are the mods? Elevation? Jetting? Quote
02Bansheeee Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Posted January 20, 2015 My elevation is 600ft, temperature today was 50°, jetting at 27.5 and 300. Mods are FMF sst, airbox w/o lid, and Oem crank, .030 over bore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
sheerider1026 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 Wow. Did u bleed the air off the top of the Head ? Re check impeller and gear. Maybe radiator is plugged? It sounds like a bad head gasket tho to be honest. Its a bad oring if it's a coolhead Quote
02Bansheeee Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Posted January 20, 2015 No, waterpump was not rebuilt. Should that be done? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
sprinklerman Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 When you run it with the rad cap off,does water circulate good? Quote

02Bansheeee Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Posted January 20, 2015 It didn't seem to be circulating today too well, it just started pushing itself out of the radiator. So I'd cut it off and it'll burp and repeat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

sprinklerman Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 Aldo, did you do a leak down test? Any cool head ? If so,what domes? Quote
02Bansheeee Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Posted January 20, 2015 This was at idle just after warm up and coolant flush. It would push the coolant out of the radiator and into the container I had on the ground & all over my pipes. More like building pressure rather still than circulating.

Burke Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 so wouldn't that be a blown head gasket? Quote
02Bansheeee Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Posted January 20, 2015 No, haven't done a leak down since it was last ridden. It was a bitch to get it to pass because of the uneven intakes block. Ended up having to use the gas safe rtv and put it around the gaskets. & and stock head with a standard head gasket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
sprinklerman Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 so wouldn't that be a blown head gasket?Probably. if its blowing coolant out ,it's probably cyl pressure doing it. Quote
02Bansheeee Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Posted January 20, 2015 & when i check the silencers for moisture or radiator fluid smell, nothing.... So I don't think it's going into the cylinder. What should I check first? Water pump or head gasket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
