6speed Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Installed the head and T5s today. The bike runs good but it's blowing coolant from somewhere under load. With it just idling everything is good. Quote
dawarriorman Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Your either missing an o-ring somewhere, or pinched one. Otherwise there shouldn't be any problems getting it to seal. Quote
dlnoss Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Do you see where it's coming out? Is it coming out the exhaust or leaking out on the engine? Quote
ssanddemon Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 I like to use a heavy application of silicone grease to help hold the seals in the grooves and to keep the seals limber over time. Mr. Noss will know what's best, but I'm guessing you pinched an o-ring during installation. Quote
Blue Duece Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 also make sure and torque it evenly, im not sure i think its around 20, david could tell you for sure but you need to go around the head a couple dozen times tightening slightly each time, with as someone said lots of grease on the orings and grease the studs as well and tap the head down flat with a small mallet if you have one, the chance of Davids head being warped are pretty slim, maybe just reinstall it and onspect the orings for being pinched.......

6speed Posted December 3, 2005 Author Report Posted December 3, 2005 I couldn't really tell where it was leaking at , only that it spit quite a bit out. After a bit I found a little bit weeping out past a few of the studs so I RVT'd them. I got it out a little bit today and everything seems to have magicly sealed up over night. Guess time will tell. Thanks everyone Quote
