More Problems

ok this is what my car is doing except where the glow plug is connected too. I have the cooling head and that so tight in the engine that I don't see how it can spray like this . Now that's wrong?

Is the copper washer on the glowplug? Did you inspect for a clean, unscathed surface around the glowplug hole. If your tightening it down onto a grimy surface, it's not going to seal correctly...

I may be missing something, but could you explain the problem in a little more detail. All I am getting is that your buggy is spitting up water.....

Its still difficulty to understand your question.
If fuel is spitting out of the plug hole around an installed plug, you may want to look and see if the plug is tight and look to see that you installed the copper washer under the plug as well.

ok where the coling head meets the engine. it makes a hissing noise and when the pull start is pulled fast enough it will shoot fuel out where it meets. I made sure the screws are in and everything I just don't get it.

pull off your heat sink.and replace your shims..
did you pull the head off before??or did it come lose?? and then you tighten it down??. it sounds like the head shims are in a bind.


mods can you rap all of his threads in to one.this is getting confusing..

It sounds like your just going to have to take the cooling head back off & inspect the shims for any signs of being pinched.. I would replace the shims anyway, along with the 4 bolts, & put it back together.. The head has got to be torqued down evenly in a criss cross fashion. Good luck..
In the future, please keep the title of your thread a little more descriptive of what your actual problem is, rather then loosin your cool...

Do you think there is a posibility that he cross threaded the glow plug into the head? I am still having a problem understanding exactly where his fuel is spitting out of??

Sounds like the head is just not sitting right on the block....

As far as for your problem... obviously the engine has been tampered with at some point weather it was by you or the previous owner. In either case, assuming the screw threads aren't stripped for the head, you need to take the head off and replace the shims. Make sure you are using the coper washer for the glow plug and you should be fine.


This guy just doesn't learn, and this is getting a bit rediculous... can a mod please put all of his jibberish posts all into one like Zandor said?

6 dman 6, it would be helpful if you would use full sentances to explain your problem the first time around as well as the title of the thread describing the problem in short... is this too hard? You have ranted and raved on each and every post so far and to be honest with you, the problem seems to lie in the user rather than the equipment. We are here to help and will as we have shown so far, but you need to understand that we do not want the boards getting clogged up with post after post of yours with confusing, incomplete sentances that you seem to post. Especially when every other post is from you on this board.

We need to get all of these into one... maybe called "6 dman 6's buggy problems" or something. It's getting a bit out of hand.

Ok, the problem with my car is that the fuel is squitring out of the engine where the cooling head meets the engine. I checked and nothing seems wrong with it. The car sprays the fuel when you pull the pull start. I've looked at everything mentioned and it all seems fine.

Well... somethings obviously not fine.

Do you have shims (or a shim) between the engine cooling head and the engine block? Are the contact points where these shims touch the head and block clean and void of any nicks or defects?

Other than that, I can't imagine why it's leaking out on you there. Or are you mistaking a head leak for an exhaust header leak? I've had that happen, when my exhaust seal got tore up.
