Well im sure you all already know what the post is all about. I have a 06 King Quad 70 that has some major issues. I was trying to remove a Artic Crap lmao, From what seemed to be concrete when it started to over heat but it was late and soi just keep pulling and when it was all said and done i got home and parked thebike. Later when i went to have the bike serviced i realized there was water in my oil and i knew i hadnt gotten any in the air box so decided to take to the dealership to see what was going on. Well later that day i got a call and the tech said that it needed new valves and it may need head work so i brought it home and changed the oil and oil filter like 10 times and same thing every time the oil looked like a vanilla milk shake and the water was low in the radiator. So now im screwed and need to find replacement head and valves. What is the best way to go about doing this.

Sounds like a bad head gasket to me.

Well i was unsure if it cold be that. The tech guy at the dealer ship seemed to be stuck on that it had a cracked head. It also puts out alotof steem out the exhaust when the bike begins to idle. The bike will idle fine and run fine for a little while.

i had the same problem with mine it took on so much water that it would not even run so i tore it down and put new rings in it had the cylinder and head machined to square it up and put a new head gasket in and its great now i would say your head is not cracked but maybe warped.... cost me about 60 to get the cylinder and head mached
