sheerider1026 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 sounds like a bad head gasket.. thee should not be coolant on plug.. thats s nono.. water can short the plug out.. pull the head, put a new gasket and retourqe.. put new plugs.. then fire it up and see what happens. Quote
2strokespirit Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 replace your cylinder head gasket :thumbsup: Quote
fracas Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Posted October 31, 2007 Well I found out it was a blown head gasket. Who ever put this head on before was a tool. They used 2 Head gaskets to raise the head up. Dont ask me why? I dont want to use the stock head again. Im going to install my Cool head. But Im having problems getting the o-rings to stay in place. Anyone have any tips to get this job done? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 small amount of greas on the orings will hold them in place Quote
fracas Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Posted October 31, 2007 The o-rings are bigger than the grooves. Ive been bunching the rubber together just to install them. But I have only gotten 2 rings on. And the grease would make it harder to push the ring in. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 the o rings dont have a tight fit. Did you get a kit or you just find o rings you though would fit it? if you got the kit then they are right. you just want them to stick to the groove and when you flip the head over and torque it down it will flatten it out and sealup Quote
Animalman294 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 Yeah, If you don't have the right o-ring and it is bunching up then you are going to have a leak most definately.............. Quote
fracas Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Posted October 31, 2007 I have the right Kit and No it doesnt just fit. Im lay'n the rings ontop of all the grooves. and it is Clean as day they are a little bigger. Liek I said before. I had to push the rings in and bunch it together to fit. There are no signs of anything wrong after the install. Now Im tring to get the rings on the Domes and on the Top of the head. The grooves are not like the Bottom part of the head. So Im going to try the grease today. Thanks for all your input. I dont need a head gasket when using the O-rings correct? Quote
