losing coolant
my zx7 is losing coolant into the crankcase. i dont know where it is coming from. does anyone know where to start looking? i recentlyreplaced the head gasket and adjusted the clearances on my valves, but in the process i may have cracked the cam bearing cage (that piese that bolts on over the cams) could that be where the leak is? thanks for the help

i don't think it was leaking before it never seemed like there was a problem until i blew the gasket and started blowing white smoke from the exhaust. i replaced the gasket and now it is losing the coolant

So ,everything was fine, then the head gasket blew..... Engine overheat? If I had to take a best guess, I would say the head maybe warped or cracked. If it was mine, I would pull the head back off, straight edge her, and if that checked good, magnaflux. IMO anyway...

Yup; gotta pull 'er apart and check and re-check everything. Like BigRig says: "Get out the straight-edge." Look for evidence as you dis-assemble.
