banshee modquad coolhead leaking

[sand4ever]

I just fired up my new motor and after a few minutes it started leaking antifreeze out of the four middle nuts. All the nuts were torqued to 23 ft lbs. the motor runs stock bore weisco pro lights, +3 degrees timing, modquad coolhead 18cc, t-5 toomeys. After pulling the head off and examining it, the seals were all in place and everything looked fine. So can any one tell me what to do to fix the leak. thanks

Cap nuts and copper or aluminum washers.People have had this problem with many brands of cool heads,and this is the best way to fix it.As long as the coolant is only leaking around the studs and not into the cylinder.

I'm using the cap nuts and copper washers that came with the modquad head. that is why I do not understand why it is leaking

try re torquing the nuts

usually takes a few heat cycles before they stop leaking

Try removing the nuts that are leaking and putting a little RTV silicone on the threads then reinstall the nuts.

I had this problem and I had damaged a couple of the o rings when installing the head. I you felt any resistance or fought getting the head all the way down on the cylinder then this may be the problem.
