Just bought a 1996 Arctic Cat ZRT 600. Engine runs great, all stock except clutch. Burns coolant out of pipes, shut it off and all you get for a min is white coolant smoke. Could this be just the O rings? Did not see any cracks anywhere on jugs.little crack in 2 of the inner O rings.

sounds like there gotta be a crack in the coolent jackets in the jugs into the exhaust port, just a thought

a bad inner o-ring would let coolant into the chamber. pop the heads off and see if the o-rings are flat.

Yep most likely O rings very easy fix. About half an hour if you know what your doing.

Yes.... this is probably your culprit. how many miles are on it? might be worth doing the top end while you have it open. I got a set of SPI pistons off of ebay last spring for $150 for my ZRT.
