Well they do seem to do some silly things, but we kept requesting smaller lighter high performance motorcycles & the designers probably threw up their hands & said, oh well, compromise service for features.
Yeah if it’s bubbling, & you are sure you have bleed away any airlock then you are pressurising it some how & the pump is the engine. The comp test won’t show it up. It would have to be such a big leak for you to notice & who is to say one cylinder seals better or worse anyway?
If you did a leak down test & the engine was warm then you’d have a better chance of seeing it. But even then. . .
So head gasket & check if head needs a plain. Might be Pirate gasket available, google & find out. You could buy a new engine, but then what other problems are you buying?
Just thinking if you cooked the engine a comp test would be a good idea to see that the engine is ok. Does it not have a resevoir? & if it gets that hot why didn't you stop & let it cool down?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
