87 ZILLA WATER IN OIL MIX
#1
I GOT WATER IN MY OIL. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE SEALS IN THE WATER PUMP. I ORDERD THEM. SOMEONE ON THIS SIGHT SUGGESTED POSSILBY THE HEAD GASKET. I RODE IT THE OTHER DAY IT RAN GREAT,THEN WHEN I COHE HOME I CHECKED THE OIL IT WAS PINK AND FOAMY(AND FULL TO THE TOP. ALSO IF IT IS THE HEAD GASKET WILL A COOL HEAD FROM TRINITY SOLVE THE PROBLEM?I ORDERD THE TRINITY 39MM COMBO KIT ,AND A SET OF PYRAMID REEDS FROM DUNCIN RACING.I HAVE A FMF FULL EXHAUST ,CAME WITH THE BIKE.(DUNE ADDICT)SAID IT WAS JUNK,FROM READING A LOT OF HIS COMMENTS,SOUNDS LIKE HE KNOWES WHAT HE TALKING ABOUT.SOMEONE SUGGESTED A TRINITY PIPE,DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO ON THIS PIPE?I RIDE MOSTLY TRAILS.ALSO MY FREIND WHO RACED ZILLAS BACK IN THE DAY IS GOING TO DO A MILD PORT JOB ON IT. IM ALSO TRYING TO GET A LIGHTEND FLY WHEEL. THANKS BENNY

Please turn off the caps. Now, I doubt the head gasket is the problem, since the motor oil in a 2 stroke only lubes the tansmission/clutch and is sealed off from the cylinder(s). It definitely sounds water pump related, so I would drain your anit-freeze, and your oil, pull off the water pump cover and clutch cover. Look for any cracks where water could leak into the transmission. Replace all the seals and new gaskets and hopefully the problem is solved. Oh yeah, I would have your stock head milled and O-Ringed instead of a cool head. I hear bad things about them(at least for Zilla's)

I would HIGHLY recommend getting a factory service manual! Spend the $50+ and that way you'll know what your doing when tinkering on your machine..
pendejo has some good advice... There's really nothing wrong with the coolheads, other than they cost too much, and they are more of a 'one size fits all' design. The stocker can be machined specifically for your application for not much $$$$... Plus it keeps the stock look, which I like (Sleeper effect)
