Air in coolant. Sometimes.

[Dimebag]

Where is the res coolant bottle located on the MCX Nytros? I cant see it anywhere..
There is a big intercooler in the place its installed on mine...

Most builders take out the bottle when it's boosted, so you could spend a lot of time looking for something that isn't there. Follow your hose from under rad cap. I don't think you'll have one.

Hehe, thats what i figured.

He is taking it to the dealer later this week.

I'll keep you posted on the outcome.

So it is still losing coolant and heating up?

 

[Dimebag]

I dont know if he had any time to ride this week. But he is taking it to the dealer to get some other things fixed, and they will take a look at it at the same time.

I will keep you posted

It was a faulty head gasket..

Strange, cause i know for a fact that he is running waaaay to low boost...

Might want check head closely, if it's been overheated there's a good chance it's warped

 

[Dimebag]

Its at the dealer now, and i sincerely hope they check the head..

I would also bet its damaged, cause he has been riding alot with the light on.

 

[Dimebag]

Head was warped, like you said.

Anything else that might be damaged?

 

[canoehead]

If he gets the head milled and runs a thicker head shim he should be good to go. Hopefully he didn't run it too much or he could have damaged the water pump seals, but other than that....ride it like you stole it!
Good luck DB

We're gonna testride on friday. Hopefully everything is ok.
