Yamaha350T Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 my banshee runs alright but then when it starts to get hot it boils the antifreeze in the cylinders. i think its my head gasket because it is pressurizing the cooling systemand the cap on my overflow bottle blows off. any suggestions on what it might be? and i think my water impeller is good.

dlnoss Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Check the compression. It should indicate if the head gasket is blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trex banshee Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 if you have compression comming out of your overflow bottle you deffinitly have a blown o-ring or head gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
