wr400 rebuild, coolant in head and oil, will run tho


Recommended Posts

ok big head scratcher here.  rebuilt me wr400, new piston and rings, new gaskets and everything.  this is where things go sideways.  bike won't run at all but will burp n fart.  took the head pipe off and there was coolant in it, enough that you could pour it out.  thought it was the head gasket, but i triple checked the torque on the bolts and they were 35 pounds.  once I checked the oil from it looks to have coolant in it as well.  the bike will start with no coolant in it, I just tried it to make sure I wasn't crazy and that the bike was still good, never ran it for more then 30 seconds with no coolant.  is there a chance I have a bad head gasket new?  or do I have a crack somewhere in the head or the cylinder causing the issue.  if anyone has had this happen let me know and lets see if there is a fix for this

Have you checked both surfaces are 100% flat and true which meet with your head gasket,there are a few ways you can do this by yourself to get an idea if anything is suspect.

have a look at this,it may help!
