The ACCT was fine.......I whipped the rocker cover off, all looks normal. As I was replacing it and warming the engine up afterwards the bike spat its coolant all over the driveway.....A quick look confirmed that the water seal on the water pump shaft drive had just failed...ticking over on the driveway?!
Something is definately not right. If I was at home i´d have had it stripped by now, but in spain with no tools its all a bit tricky.....
Anyone have any experience with ´water wetter´? I´ve been running it for the last 2000 miles and have seen a definate reduction in engine running temp, but I´m now wondering if it was lubricating the cooling system as it ran. I cant see any other reason for the seal to fail on so few miles...maybe a return to antifreze is called for when I get this issue sorted...
