I got my R buttoned up for the first real actual run time.
I put the exhaust in place, bolted the carb on, and put the cooling system in place all the way, with new overflow hoses, and the radiator, and cooling hoses are fine.
After running in the garage for 7-10 minutes, tops, at idle and a little throttle blipping to keep it clean, it's blowing out the overflow hose like a geyser.
I pulled the head, thinking it was the CR gasket, I threw in, but that's all good. The water pump is all good, with new seals , and all, and no crud in the cooling system........it's been cleaned up nice. Radiators are spotless inside and out.
What would cause this? Did it get that hot that quick?, Temps here have been in the 50's.
