Drz400 Engine Leaking Coolant Mega Leaked #b53

44045 + 358 OPEN

So i recently helped my partner at work rebuild the engine in his 2017 drz

Since the rebuild we are unable to get it to stop leaking into the crank case New parts included a new crank, all new internal bearings, new piston and rings, new cylinder, all new gaskets and the head was rebuilt about. For a coolant change on the drz you would have to of loosened the coolant drain bolt on the rear brake side of the bike near the water pump This drains the coolant from the motor Some flushing with distilled water should also occur to rinse the passages After this is done you can take your premixed or mix your own fluid, place the water pump bolt back in and start filling

So on the drz, the tank under the airbox isn't actually a reservoir When the engine is cold, there should not be any coolant in that tank Fill the radiator from the cap on the top of the radiator Unless you mean pouring coolant in there makes it dump into the reservoir and then out onto the ground? I purchased this drz used and immediately i realized how poorly this thing was maintained I bought it thinking it just needed a carb rebuild, and that certainly is not the case

It runs and idles well following the carb rebuild but i immediately stopped running it when i realized the rads were empty

It had milky oil, and no coolant in the radiators making me think the headgasket is. My buddy dropped off his drz400sm because the oil and coolant are mixing This is what he has says he has done New head gasket new oem water pump kit i was looking online and the drz has 2 freeze plugs in the head so i figured to look there Well i have had the cooling system pumped up. Fixing the coolant leak issue

I posted a while back about my e model dripping coolant from around the water pump housing It's gotten worse and now the coolant drains out at a pretty alarming rate So i guess it's time to fix it I know what's involved in fixing it, but i'm wondering what the consensus is on the proper fix for the issue. When the latter happens, the coolant will leak into the transmission oil, causing the piston and cylinders to overheat due to the lack of coolant in the system. Hi guys i'm new to tt, but have been a reader, thanks for the invite

I have a 2004 drz400e bought last year, has maybe 300 miles on it (otwells)

Took it out for thks giving, its leaking coolant out that little hole in the cylinder head left side of engine (after engine warms up) The fix is real simple and requires removing the.
