Re: need help, overheated and

by sjs <user@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 14, 2007 at 02:23 AM

you either warped the head or blew out the head gasket.
the pressure from one of the pistons is going thru the breeched gasket 
and pressurizing the water jacket with each stroke.
no doubt, you probably have water in your oil too now. if not your lucky.
you need the head taken off, a new gasket, the head shaved and checked, 
and the crankcase and water jacket flushed.

Lucky for you, its not a hard job to do if you have the tools.
a garage is prolly gonna rape you raw over labor.

good luck.... I had one do that too, water spurting out the radiator 
top..... sad and funny all at the same time.
