senoroms Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 just rebuilt my 250r with a milled head from another bike, dont know if its fromthe same year, but i took it out the other day and it began to smoke slightly from the screw, is it just the gasket or do i have a bigger prob Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 is it running ok?? are those things water cooled?? if so, does it seem to be sucking antifreeze? if so it might be burning it. maybe that could be causing your problem. maybe the head is cracked. did you inspect it before you put it on? just some random ideas.

99screaminshee Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 sell the head and buy a cool head they do wonders f**k those milled and ported and shit heads get a cool head Quote
senoroms Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Posted March 2, 2004 bought the head, but was told it was good, it was from a shop, then bike runs real good, when we put on the head gasket on not all the holes lined up so i wasnt sure if it was the right gasket, anyone know if this affects anything Quote
brugal Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 Get the write headgasket an chane it... Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 yea a smoking head def sounds like a headgasket to me, when u kick it over does it throw air out? Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 i would say that its the head gasket. it might be burning a little coolant. grab a new gasket and i bet youll be good to go. Quote
boonman Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 If the head gasket isn't proper, it could very well be leaking coolant, and/or seeping some compressed gasses out as well. I would maybe do a leakdown on it to find out what's up. SOmetimes gaskets aren't perfect, but they usually work.. Did you torque it down properly? Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 Did you torque it down properly? i was just thinking the same thing. seems strange it would only come from one bolt if the gasket wasnt fitting properly. Quote
dcmoose Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 when i seen the title was Smoking From Head... i got excited and thought you were talking about somking from a head bong. i think about weed to much Quote
