Just an update guys, took the sled out Friday night and dropped it off to the welder, picked it up on Saturday and when I got home I pressure tested the system and it leaked. Took it back out to the welder on Sunday morning and he fixed it up, pressured tested goo this time at the welder site...

If you need the grip that much go with the ice ripper track

Nope. I don't run them on my XTX and the SE won't see them again

5 different guys "yeah I can do that" , "when you want me to come over", still untouched since weds. Could have put the hours in by now for the new exchanger, but never ordered one. Boo hoo, I'm still wining. Hopefully the welder comes through tonight. If not the front suspension and...

Acetone washing and wire wheeling the outside now

What's the best way to flush the coolant out of the exchanger for the welder?

Little update from last night. Drained the oil and filled it to the low line because the engine was not warm. No more puking of oil. I don't have a leak down tester and my compression tester does not have the right thread adapter for the tiny plugs that are in these units. The temp sensor...

Would a compression test tell us anything? Never done a leak down, how hard is it to find top dead center?

I don't think so, but it was midnight. I'll check the level again when I get home tonight

I have 2009 RTX SE that had the track tear on 3 sides of a double stud section and the studs wore two grooves in the heat exchanger Saturday, which then caused the temp light to come on, thought it was the normal run in the powder to get it to go off. The sled the shut itself off. Flipped it on...

In order for the oil to be flowing in my mind backwards, would I have blow by on my rings? What type of pressure should I see in the cylinder i f I do a pressure test?
