Mad_banshee_racer Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 If I drive my banshee for maybe a min coolant will start dripping out the hose over the header pipes. I put in a new billet water pump but it didn't fix it. Please help me with this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 x2 bad cap, leak in the system. or just plain old over heating (bad air flow, going to slow, lean jetting, etc...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bad cap, I can compress it. When you say leak in the system should I see it? I can see what looks like some black carbon it the coolant floating around.

m671054 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Will it push out all the coolant? are you filling the rad to the top and it just pushes out a little? i blew a dome oring and if you rap the throttle you would get a jet of coolant shot out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 In the pic, you are holding 2 hoses. Are they both coolant hoses? If so, you have something plumbed wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_banshee_racer Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 No I think it's only one hose, it runs from the reservoir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_banshee_racer Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 It all started after I had some port work done by herr jugs and my head milled. Should be a good flat surface with the freshly milled head. I have a oem head gasket still in the pack that I'm going to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad_banshee_racer Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Do a leakdown test. I'm going to put a new head gasket on and will do a leakdown test the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Do it first, what if its not even a head gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_banshee_racer Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I still need to build a leakdown tester, guess I can go by lowes today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just as I thought. You didn't leakdown test it after you put the top end on it. If you would have, you would have known that you have a leaking head gasket before you even fired it. But we didn't find out that the problem started when you did the top end, until 9 posts into this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't know what a leak down test was until the other day. I was hoping to have this fixed by the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
