yz85 rad fluid coming out weep hole

[Blink-182]

ok so i just got done rebulding my yz85 today new topend gasket set all that stuff i was riding it all good and dandy until i decided to jet it pretty much close to spot on as i could when switched to a 45 pilot it was wicked and then when i went to a 42 i loved the band even more but just recently out of know where it started to leak out the weep hole on the water pump and i read around here and i found out that when i start the bike without the cap on it swirls and all that but it has bubbles in it does that mean my gaskets up top blew?

That bike uses a rubber o-ring for a head gasket.. Simple fix...

Plus, you might want to have a look at the water pump seal.

yeah the top end gasket kit it came with them and i put white linthum grease on them and installed them it worked fine until about an hour of riding i broke it in properly too just like eric gorr reccomends

 

[IndyMX]

Hmmm.. I don't think you should put the grease on the head gaskets...

it had came with a little slip that said they needed to be greased with lintuhum or what ever its called but just for the o rings? im about to take it apart right now, what could have caused this?and does it automatically damage your top end?

 

[oldguy]

Did you torque the topend or just do it by feel?

oh yeah forgot to put that i tourqed it to spec and in a criss cross pattern like the manual says but i just dont get what i did wrong?should i go ahead and tear down the head ?

is the radiator sapoused to bubble like that? it only starts to leak when its warm not cold if that helps any? im thinking of just getting new o rings and a water pump

another thing the top end gaskets it came with where just kind of like round the stock ones on the bottem had a flat surface and thats how you installed them could i have used the wrong gasket?
it is a gasket set for a 2002-2005 yz85?, but im going to get the stock head gaskets from bike bandit, when i tear down the water pump whats useally a FULL rebuild for it? i dont want it to fail or something again because i didnt replace something i didnt know i was sapoused too?

and also when i took apart the water pump the gasket looked like this?!? you think it has anything to do with it?

 

[Blink-182]

ok i found out what the problem is i took off the side cover and took off the impellar shaft and its all worn down it has grooves and scuffing everywhere im guessing my bearing went out?

 

[Blink-182]

would that be whats causing it?
