i just rebuilt my 250r and after breaking it in the head gasket blew. i wanted to know if anyone knew what the cause of this could have been? one of the things i thought it could have been was that i forgot to torque the head nuts to the right torque specs. could that have had anything to do with it? if not then what did cause it? i also heard you're not supposed to use gasket sealer on a head gasket. i didnt use any but do you guys know if it is safe to use it?
also i took my engine out of my frame to get the water out of everywhere. my crank was filled with water. does anyone know what i can use to flush all of the water out of my bottom end and top end? i know how dangerous water is to have in your engine and i want to make sure i get it all out. any suggestions of how to clean everything properly from anyone that this has happened to would help greatly. thanks a lot
