Coolant help needed

[donny]

i recently changed almost all parts from a 2005 onto my old 93 shee cause i had the motor stroked ect, and anyways long story short the radiator whit cap removed is not staying full, plus it"s blowing the rubber stopper of a cap of my over flow tank under the seat and plastic causing anti freeze to drip onto my rear disk , also noticing that uparound my fuel tank lid is getting antifreeze very slightly blow onto it and tank plastic after riding it for lets say just 5 minutes or so any Idea"s anyone , do i have the hoses to the overflow resivor backward possibly , one of the hoses going back there have a tee in the middle looking like it would be water pump bypass outlet should that hose be the top or the bottom hose going into the overflow resavor???? THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP [email protected]

You have something over-pressurizing the cooling system such as a failed water pump seal, head gasket, or cylinder bas gasket. That's really the only way you get the problem you have. :geek:

Sounds like a head gasket symptom ( drain the oil)

[Devans]

Head gasket, just had that problem lost week..

sorry no water in my oil

could be ur radiator cap just worn out it controls the pressure and temp

Head gasket, just had that problem lost week..

what other symtoms did u have only asking cauase i want to be shure , what makes u blow a head gasket ?

i only rode this bike for an hour or so since i had it rebuilt the engine that is and head gaskets were brand new then

what about water pump seal cause head gasket r new less 1 hour since total rebuid was done , plus what would make me blow a head gasket?

also all electronic used on the 1993 banshee r now powered buy the 2006 shee coil voltage reg. ect would i be getting any different kind of spark or timming may be out now?????

well if it was a seal problem like said u could see it in ur oil and that would cause a loss in fluid. The charging and ingnition system shouldnt have an effect. this is weird.. is the head nuts all torqued to spec? is it smoking more than normal?

[FasterThanU90]

the bottom hose should go to the pump top hose to head an little hose to overflow

[FasterThanU90]

o i blew through ur post, ur using Anti-freeze u need coolant the T if i remember right is just crankase vent it should be going straight from the radiator top to the overflow

yes i does appear to smoke alittle more then it did but i had just changed to synth benoil and 110 octane fuel for the first time , but these changings were after the fact

A friend had the same problem, blew the coolant reservoir bottle cap and coolant soaked the back of the bike. Pulled the head off and found a faulty O-ring. That is the only experience I have with your problem.
