Alright guys, I have a overheating problem. It only occurs during full redline boost runs, if I boost under 9K rpms - no problems. Basically the coolant will poor into the reservior and seep out the overflow tube, sometimes it will boil. There is no sweet smell or white smoke coming from the exhaust. Boost never exceeds 7lbs and the fuel pressure is perfect.
Now, I have been searching forums and the entire internet for my problem and everything leads to blown head gasket. I got a great tune recently that made 248hp & 129torque (sheet in dyno forum). It did the overheating before I got the tune and continues after. I thought it was due to the crappy tune otherwise I wouldn't run the bike. Do blown head gaskets still put out good power? I was going to do a leakdown test, but I read that this doesn't always show a blown gasket.
I really need your help, any input is appreciated.
Also, how hard is it to replace a head gasket yourself?
