r/atvshee Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 I decided to start up my shee. Its smoking pretty bad on the right side. Could this be a bad seal, or bad o-rings in the head? Heres a picture.. Quote
r/atvshee Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Posted August 9, 2007 All of the seals and gaskets are pretty much brand new. It starts on the first kick, idles great, revs fine. Has alot of compression. Maybe i should pull the plugs. But does anybody have an idea of what it could be. I really dont want to split the cases again... Quote
okbeast Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 Is this just on start-up? Does it smell like a car burning oil? If it does then it's a crank seal leaking tranny oil in, and 4-stroke oil has a very distinct smell. Quote
r/atvshee Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Posted August 9, 2007 No, its not on just start up. It does smell like a car burning oil too. Most likely its a bad seal. Quote
okbeast Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 That sucks, now as for which seal I'm not really sure. I just had my cases apart but can't think of what seals would leak tranny oil into the cases. Quote
FasterThanU90 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 u can go to checker or napa and pick up a leakdown tester pretty cheap.. good investment Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 That sucks, now as for which seal I'm not really sure. I just had my cases apart but can't think of what seals would leak tranny oil into the cases. That would be the right crank shaft seal. It's the only one that can leak tranny oil, into the crankcase.
