First check your oil, see if it still looks like oil or a milkshake.

If your adding water it is going some place. So fire it up, let it get to temp. Get some paper towels and wipe the length of the hose and were they hook. If the towl gets damp, you are finding the leak. Also have it parked on a flat serface on concrete or with cardboard under it. As it cools watch for puddles to form under the rig.

A compression test will test for a bad gasket or crack in the head.

Not sure what the compression should be, but that is not as important as all being with in 10lbs of each other.

 

The exhaust smells normal, not sweet. The oil looks normal, not milkshakey. I forgot to use the paper towel suggestion. But, there's no puddles forming under it (on concrete). I'll do the paper towel thing tomorrow and get it compression tested on Monday.

Thanks,

I flushed the system again and it seems to have fixed the problem. But, I still think I need to get it compression tested.

 

Well, like I said, I think it's fixed. It still hasn't overheated since the second flushing. But, now I'm selling it on eBay. Actually, I put it on there last Sunday and the auction ends tomorrow, less than a day.

if I'm allowed to post it here. Something huge came up last weekend causing me to have no other choice but to get rid of it quickly. It sucks, but I'll just have to buy something else a while down the road...and I had so many plans for it...
