Welli just had my entire bike rebuild over the winter.  when i got it back i put the engine in and when i started it there was coolant coming through a little hole between the water pump and head.  I took it to the shop they "fixed it" a week later it started seeping but its been fine just a little here and there.  But it just started getting bad i have to put coolant in every other ride.  also it runs intensly hot after about 30 minutes of riding.  The mods i have is a 12.5 comp wisco piston, and a scarey fast power now on the carb.  im lookin to sell the bike and i would liek to get these prob fixed please help.
