zilla wont start!!!

[zilla rider]

hey guys, i did new rings, honed and new gaskets on my zilla and i cant get it to start, and everytime i try to start it i see coolant coming out of the front and back of my head gasket. but its brand new and its not ripped. also my compression is great. if anyone can give me any pointers i would greatly appreciate it.

if you have water coming out your head gasket, than you have a head gasket problem. drain water and pull the head. find out why its leaking. make sure you are not leaking into the cylinder too. did you use any type of sealer? did you tighten the bolts down correctly? good luck

just looking at your list of mods, are you running a cool head? o-ring or gasket type? either way its time to pull the head, i guess.

Check the o rings on the head.Are they new or used?

[zilla rider]

yes it is a cool head and no i did not use any type of sealer, should i have? i took the head off and everything looks ok. and what o rings are we talking about cuz i dont see any on the head.

I thought the cool heads used o rings instead of a gasket.I may be wrong with the zilla.Sounds like somthing is not flat.How bad is it leaking?Try getting it nice and hot then shut it off and torque those bolts down..

typical 87 zilla always leaking out the head

The cool head uses two o-rings. You need to install o-rings to keep the cylinder sealed. Everytime you kick your pushing the charge out the head with coolant. I would not kick it anymore until the o-rings are installed if you get enough coolant in the cylinder you can damage the ring faces and cylinder.

I have a cool head on my bike and it doesn't use o-rings, regardless you should be doing SOMETHING to make a seal between jug and head. Running the motor with it leaking like that will certainly make it go boom boom.

No o-rings??? All of them I have seen on websites have o-rings. Do you use sealant or a gasket then?
