    84 Tecate water in crankcase! HELP ASAP

    I rode my Tecate tonight and when I unlaoded it there was oil in the bed of the truck, didn't think about it to much, just added some oil and took it out for a quick ride. When I stopped in the shed I had a bunch grayish ( I know that means water in the oil) oil coming out the crankcase vent I then proceeded to open the Radiator up and noticed a lot of bubles, low water level, and what looked like oil specs. Oh and it was leaking out by the front spocket. It ran good, and didn't seem to have anything odd going on, so am I looking at just a top end or am I gonna have to rebuild the whole damn thing Let me know.

    What seals? Cranckseals or just top end gaskets? The motor is fairly new as in less than 20hrs, so all I should need is the gaskets. Please let me know so I can fix this thing and actually ride it

    you will need to change your water pump seal. not a hard job. do you have a manual? if not go to www.repairmanuals.com and look up the 84-5 tecates. I ordered one from them and its a reproduction factory manual. its a wire bound book but it tells you everything you need to know.

    we will hope its just that seal, if not your screwed, your lucky you didnt throw a rod, but you might have spun the bearings.... water makes stuff grab unlike oil, so you could have pulled a rebuild on yourself and not even known

    Well when I shut it off there was no funny noises, the motor was running like it alwayts has and there was enough oil in the bottom end that it mixed quite well and was still "oil". I will be checking all that when I do fix it, I just need to know what to look for!. Believe me, I have thrown rods and locked stuff up before, this wasn't even close to that!
