another engine down

[ryan 83]

I have a hetrick built 90 I purchased off a fellow last summer. My son was riding today and we noticed it smoking a little from around the front of the engine. I pulled it in the garage and noticed water blowing around the spark plug hole. I took the cylinder cover and the head off. it appeared to me the bike had been apart before with all the orange silicone around the o-ring on the cylinder head. I am not real familiar with the liquid cooled bikes. piston appears to be tight in cylinder no slop and clean. Is that o-ring suppose to stop the liquid from coming around the cylinder cover? Head gasket appeared to me it was kind of mangled when I pulled the head off. Any help on this would be appreciated

get new gaskets and install per manual if its still leaks after that its probably damaged
warped and or cracked

i wonder if you got eny water in the eng case . i would try to get the water out , i would take take the motor off of bike and try to drain it , and maybe pour some 2 stroke oil in case AND DRAIN THE OIL OUT MAY HELP FLUSH WATER OUT , YEARS AGO MY SON RAN HIS BIKE IN SOME WATER AND IT BURNT THE BEARING S UP , AND TAKE THE PIPE OFF MAKE SURE THERS NO WATER IN THAT , AND IF YOU CANT FIND ENY O RINGS , TRY TRACTOR SUPPLY TSC IF YOU HAVE ONE CLOSE TO YOU THEY SELL ALL KINDS OF O RINGS
