Well I did something really stupid!!! I put my head gasket on backwards small holes went on the intake side. But my question is would this make the head leak out of the studs without the motor even running? (cause it is)? or is it leaking out of the studs because my washers are bad? any help would be great guys! cant believe I put it on backwards!

Stock or coolhead?

I'm pretty sure it's just a stock head, unless there's a cool head that looks similar to the stock.

The Zilla I bought had the gasket bass ak wards too.

Was yours leaking out the studs like crazy? as soon as i put the coolant back in it started to leak out of the studs

No leakage but try to use cosmetic gaskets, they are the best I was told

Thats what I used lol, must be that my washers are bad.

you should just send the head  to Carl/ Iceracer or whoever on here to get oringed, you will curse that head gasket for ever.  They added a stud for a reason, plus those cometic  head gaskets are not cheap

I plan on having this done after the riding season but I really need to get this thing sealed up correctly before this weekend! lol I'm headed out to Glamis and dont want to be stuck on the 450 when I race a Renegade 1000

The show down is this weekend...?!?

Yeah! I'm pretty excited! I feel if I can get it all fixed up I'm gonna win!

i hope you get it back together on time, but remember if  the motor is surging when your riding  you probably blew the gasket again. Also if your over flow tank is overflowing on your boots while you ride, gasket is  blown.  Go kick that 4 stroke's ass but don't miss a gear or he is gone, lol
good luck

Have you tried gasgacinch?

Put it in right this time, also use a thin layer of Permatex semi-rigid Ultra Grey and Ultra grey only on both sides. Im talking thin layer, keep the jackets clean. If you don't have Ultra grey you should. It is the only RTV/silicone product to use on these bike's.
