Bastard engine ?'s.....
Bastard engine ?'s.....
So I've decided to just freshen up the motor with newer goodies and run the steel frame. Here's what I've got-88' cases with no damage and good transmission and crank. Gonna replace the crank bearings, seals and gaskets. I have a 96' cylinder that is being fitted to the 88' cases and the head is gonna be cleaned up. I also have a brand new 89' and up right side cover. I bought a new Moose seal kit on fleabay and I need a complete gasket kit but dunno what year kit I need. Do I buy the kit for an 88' and it'll fit the newer stuff or buy a kit for the 89' up and it'll fit the frankenmotor? I searched the forum to no avail.

use either, the 88 set has more gasket where the narrow sleeve fit, can be used in either engine with trimming.

I had the same problem. Turned out to be a head gasket. The pressure forces water out the hole. I had replaced all the seals and gaskets too. If you pull the head u can usally see where the water was going .

It happens when the bike is not running after I've been kicking her. The head was decked and the jug is flat and new gasket. I installed the seals backwards.FRO53 wrote:I had the same problem.

So after getting the seals corrected and hoses fixed. Once the bike reaches temp is shit's coolant out the over flow. I tried a new cap to no avail. I also removed the rad's and hoses and flushed them all out and they are free and clear. But the bitch still pisses coolant out the overflow line. I did a compression test and it's holding 160psi. What gives guru's?

Mine never liked being full. Always burped the excess to just over the fins and not again.
No longer have a CR500.
