just put motor together, leaks coolant from head??

[2fittyr]

I just did a top and bottom end on my 250R and i started it up and it ran fine but it leaks alot of coolant from the head gasket and from around the bolts, i was thinking maybe i got the wrong gasket or my tourqe wrench is way off? and also i was wondering what the best way is to break in the new motor?

maybe your torque specs arent right? i'd double check, also if you have your torque specs right, borrow a friend's torque wrench and try that see how it works. the best way to break in a new motor is to warm it up to operating temp. and run it hard for about 20 min... there's a link in other fourums about engine break in...
