I have coolant leaking from what looks like around the front head helper stud. Brief description of quad is it is
a moto with a unicorn case with a walsh 250r kit and aluminum coolant bottle. We just pulled the motor and replaced the head gasket and sealed with gasket maker, it still leakes. Also while we had motor out and apart
we searched for any crakes or imperfections to allow leakage, but found none.
Only thing that I am not sure about is that it is a self bleeding coolant system, but the walsh bottle does not have a return tube. Not sure if it would effect it other then I would have to self bleed the coolant. Also does anyone know if the threaded area for the helper stud is in a water jacket or would it be impossible to leak coolant thru helper stud? Could it be leaking from somewhere else and running towards the stud, where it is noticed? Greatly appreciate any help, we are running out of ideas. Also we just put an aluminum impeller on while we tore down the motor, but it was leaking before and after. Just trying to give all the history.
Thanks!
