bansheeboi Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 ok guys when i first got this bike i cranked it for the first time to see how she run i notice while running that water was leaking from the head over the left pipe so i change head gasket but upon changing i notice that the right piston or the drive side piston had like a brown pudding like stuff sitting there guys what is that? also i notice that water is running down the cylinder walls even into the ports also. i have not remove top end yet just dryed and blow clean the gue off the piston so now i notice that if no water is in the motor bike will run now you fill with water after replacing gasket plugs and fresh gas bike will not run plugs are wet again im thinking of just pulling the top off.

bansheerage Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Def pull the jugs off and see what is going on in there. it will only get worse. Nothing like fixing a problem before it cost you double the amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Before you pull jugs run a stright edge across them in several spots to make sure they are even. Pull drain plugs on side of cyls. Check rubber plug on base of cyls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Are you sure the coolant didnt get in the engine when you took the head off? Did you pull the two small drain bolts out of the sides of the cylinders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
