Picked up Edsel from the dealership after work today. Sporting a new head gasket and yet another new cam cover gasket. Got my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. Sure glad I purchased an extended warranty when I bought him

And we’re back in the shop again. Coolant coming from somewhere in the center of the radiator. I want to hate this bike. But I just can’t seem to give up on it.

Hopefully its just the upper hose dribbling down making it look like it's coming from the center. Or possibly the little hose crossing at a angle from the thermostat housing to the lower right corner back side of the radiator. Other then the O-ring on the entrance pipe to the enging case. I suppose he could have damaged the radiator when he did the head gasket. Hopfully he didn't cause they're not cheap.

Are you happy with mechanic, it sounds like he fixes one thing to create a new issue. What shop are you using, might be time to try another shop.

Nice to see a post from you. You’ve been pretty quiet as of late.
The upper hose is a Distinct possibility, I’m at the point that soon as I see something’s wrong it goes to the shop don’t even bother with a diagnosis or attempted fix.

I have no issues with the shop or the mechanic. Edsel just has some serious demons that need to be exorcised.
