Just bought an 04 450r. The kid said it has been sitting for awhile. Noticed a little oil all over one the bolts on the crankcase cover. Replaced the gasket, along with new right side crank cover, mechanical seals, water pump seals, water pump bearing, water pump cover seal and impeller, and some nice CV4 hoses.
The atv would leak out the weep hole drop by drop very slowly without the quad not even on at first than i pulled it apart again and realized i forgot the copper sealing washer and had the water pump seal on backwards.
Leak stops. Now when the quad is running i get the same leak when idling and even after a few pulls down the street. but when the atv is off the leak stops. After riding for a while the engine has a really bad cooling down click like a lot of fords do.
I've done literally everything on the right side to fix this leak and its driving me nuts.
Anybody have input on what the problem would be? I have 10 days before I go to college football camp and after putting 800 bucks into this quad I want to at least get one good ride and maybe a race out of it with out blowing the motor. Thanks for looking!:D
