Hey guys, I recently built a Hayabusa powered sand rail and after over a year of working on it I finally got to start it over the past weekend. Everything seemed to go perfect however I am having problems with one thing. Their is the little hose that goes on top of the thermostat on the back of the engine I believe it is for bleeding air out of the system and that air goes directly into the top of the radiator on the stock busa. I was unable to hook this directly up to the radiator because the radiator I currently have only has a single spot for a hose at the top and that is used for the overflow. A few minutes after starting the engine steam will start to come out of this hose and I assume this is not supposed to happen? The system seems to be circulating fine from what I can tell but possibly running a little warm however I have not had the chance to drive it or let it run for an extended period of time. I did some research and I thought maybe a head gasket or cracked head but no other signs of that show and it seems to be perfect besides this. Is their anything else I should be looking for at this point? Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks.
