| Head Gasket? | |
| By: 88 zilla Date: November 29, 2012, 4:49 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Hey there! I have a 2003 z400,put a namura 94mm kit on it last | |
| winter with new factory valves,new valve seals,new hot cams | |
| stage 1 cams,used the namura gasket kit it has the mls | |
| gaskets,it ran great this summer put about 40 hrs on the | |
| rebuild,went to go ride it the other day and white smoke is | |
| puffing out the pipe,checked the oil and it looks like chocolate | |
| milk,there is nothing leaking underneath the bike or around the | |
| water pump,so my question is is it the head gasket or the water | |
| pump seals?? | |
| Thanks for your help. | |

| Water pump seal will most likely dump coolant out the weap hole. | |
| #1. Stop running it | |
| What brand is the Cylinder? I would tear it down and see if its | |
| a head gasket failure or a cracked cylinder. My YFZ450 with a | |
| Cylinder Works (CW) big bore kit cracked the jug. White smoke, | |
| milky oil, etc; | |

| The cylinder is a magnum,namura piston,namura gasket set,what is | |
| a good cylinder to have? If i find this cylinder is cracked when | |
| I tear it down what to do?? I have a factory cylinder with a | |
| 453cc sleeve in it but the sleeve is junk?? | |
| Thanks Eric.. | |
