so i now have a massive engine problem, i have oil in my radiator /sadface
have never replaced a head gasket on this bike so any and all help is much needed
all long with these i have a few of the meny hundreds of later to add questions,
1) im hoping its just the head gaskest will know when i get into the block later, what should i be looking for in the engine if any thing is damaged..?

 

oil in radiator means water in your oil. so look for the chocolate milk looking motor oil. drain that all out, ASAP.


so what told you there was a problem? was it just gobs of white smoke out of the exhaust?


im kind of worried as to why you say you need massive engine help. it looks like this is pretty straight forward. do you think there are other problems with the motor?



all you're going to see is the pistons...

 

What kind of bike is it?

The models with oil coolers leak coolant past the oring seals all the time.

 

didn't think of that demon, good call. but i'm still curious as to what tipped you off that you had a problem

 

water pump seal ? not always a disaster if there's no water in the oil

 

well might be might not we will see once im inside, usally when u have a complete milky resovour usally means a headgasket and other things tend to follow

 

Not necessarily. The other things are more likely to mix than the head gasket.

 

so next question does the R/R have to be grounded..? other owner moved it and wondering if I need to move to back to the original *factory* spot..?
and yes its melted and no longer works...

 

Water in oil usually means headgasket. How's the oil look?

Oil in water usually means oil cooler.... or a hole in the block (internal). Is the oil level low??

 

so I flushed the coolant, rode a few miles engine back fires and over heats as before, oil still in radiator *again*after a flush* oil lvl is half on the fill and empty part of stick, as far as I know this bikes *f2 93* don't have oil coolers
