did you clean and reseat the valves after replacing the seals? they're probably not sealing all the way.

If you read the post above yours, we gave him answers. Clearly no one has a 3 core. The over flow shouldn't be impacted. Maybe if he put a front mount on it. But the over flow is on the other side of the condensor. Just make sure you buy an oem replacement style. It should have two half moon...

Yeah i know what they are. Done with you. im just suggesting check your compression.

Change your ground points. Just move it from the body to another part of the bay. As long as the metal is bare and has a solid connection, it should ground out.

It wouldn't hurt to test out that ground but I don't think it's going to make a difference for block or body. Both are grounds anyways.

Hmm...I didn't know Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki put Briggs in their motorcycles. Maybe I just didn't check the engine codes on them. I'll got check my fz8 right now. It might have a Briggs. The rings may expand. But it also expands everything else. Such as possible cracks or gasket issues. Which...

actually, i didnt see you use the battery for another car. i would check your cables. especially your ground. are you grounding the jumper cables or charging cables off the battery post or the body? if the body, i would assume your battery ground is bad. and any car can run with out the battery...

sounds like a bad connection with the battery and terminals. are they clean? corroded? is your battery truely good? it could have a bad cell, causing it to not hold or even gain a charge.

that's at least one thing i would check. but mentioned above, ive had worse readings on a warm engine than a cold one

hard or slow starts when warm is a common symptom of low compression. i learned this quite a few times with some motorcycles i had.

low compression

Your best answer would be asking the seller of it to measure the thickness. I'm going to have to assume yes since I have quite a bit of room with mine, even though it's a dual core, 3 core isn't much bigger. Why go with 3? 2 is plenty enough.

i used the one that came with it. it was rated for 16PSI, which is what stock should be. but my original radiator was leaking, the top hose never gained pressure. so once i filled the system with actual pressure, the hoses started to fail

is there a mod or anything i can do, besides changing the seats, to some how get them to not be hanging way behind the seat? it's always annoying having to reach way back to grab them.

yeah, i'd even go through and check your cam bearing caps. make sure they are torqued down. i think they only need to be torqued to 13ft lbs if im correct.

Best way to figure it out, pull the valve covers and look. Doesn't take long to do. If the valve shims look fine, you might want to pull the cam and inspect the valve springs and retainers. If that all looks fine, it might be more internal than you though(wrist pin on the piston), that's if it...

I got an eBay 2 core. Fit fine with room to spare. But, if you haven't replaced your coolant hoses, be prepared for coolant leaks. As soon as I replaced my radiator, almost half of my coolant hoses failed. What a pain that was.

i went to fingerlakes machine in canadaigua for two different blocks. Jim does a pretty good job there. might be a little bit of a drive for you

heat sheild loose?

i take that back. i think i met you at log cabin on opening day.
