Another Blown Head Gasket!

Recommended Posts

I recently replaced all top end gaskets and seals on my 2005 Arctic Cat 500 (FIS Manual) and after about a month of smooth riding, I took it out for some heavier riding. It ran fine for a good four or five hours straight yesterday and I cranked it today and it's blowing antifreeze out of my tailpipe. What could be the cause of these blown gaskets?

Yeah, water pump would be my next guess. Are you getting an overheat light? Asking because if your thermostat is sticking closed, it might be boiling the water trapped in the engine ports. Steam is powerful. Easy to check. Suspend in a pot of water and heat. Should open before boiling.
