1996 Summit 500 rebuild issues!

[phazerman300]

So I just finished rebuilding my 500 Summit last year because the water pump and rotary valve went, (and the pistons had about 12000km on them). Ran fine for the little I used it last year and just ran it the other day and it croaked! The oil was the only thing that looked wrong! Its a mercy blue/green and when the engine was hot the oil level was rising and overflowing! Need a little help!!! Won't start, still turns over fine, still have compression!

Coolant in the oil?

Coolant in the oil?

You can decide that!! Umm any main things that could cause it?

Did you put new water and oil seals on the rotary shaft behind the water pump?

Yes, however................ my older brother had a part to play and well according to him he "MADE" some new ones! So might be the problem ehh!?

I would guess so,need to tear it down and put new ones in.Also will have to flush the cooling system and oil tank,lines and pump.Got a bit of work ahead of you.
