sheerider1026 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I have seen it happen.. Nuts can work loose ( or were never tightened in the first place)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jgspahn Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Is that the same bike I watched get smoked by a raptor today?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 If its an aftermarket head pull the plugs to verify that there isn't coolant in the cylinder also. If there isn't, you simply need new copper washers. Stock head? Swap the gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Put loc tite on your threads as well when you torque them down. Make sure to wait a few hours so the shit dries properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Loctite on head nuts? I wouldnt suggest that.. Once properly torq'd they should stay put Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Loctite on head nuts? I wouldnt suggest that.. Once properly torq'd they should stay put Why not ? I've had he's bolts back out even after properly torqued. Don't use loc tite if you wanna re torque them ever few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use loc tite if you wanna re torque them ever few hoursWhat are you talking about?I've never had to do that. I've never once put any loc tite on my head bolts, also never have had them come lose. Maybe you need a man to build your quad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zillaguy Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 NO loc-tite on head bolts! If they are leaky try using a little Permatex "Aviation brown glue" on the threads... It works awesome on leaky threads, i use it on automotive transmissions everytime i rebuild one... (I rebuild at least 20 transmissions per year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
