Hi Everyone. A friend of mine has a 1999 Sportsman 500 that has Antifreeze bubbling out of the overflow tank. I have validated the fan is working, the waterpump is working and I have bled it several times. Small bubbles are coming out of the radiator cap.
I am planning to replace the headgasket and check the head for cracks. My questions are the following:
1. The manual says you do not have to remove the engine to pull the head, but wanted to confirm this is easy to do or would it be a lot easier to remove the engine?
2. I assume I should replace the base gasket too, but would love to hear what everyone thinks.
Thanks
Rob
