Anybody running the 11-12 Silber kits seeing oil in the coolant resevoir? Pulled my head and threw new o-rings in, check to make sure the head wasn't warpep, and flushed the coolant system with distilled water. Drained it again and topped off with 50/50 coolant. Rode this past weekend and now have oil in my system again. Is there a rebuild kit for these things? Kinda odd with only 600 miles on the turbo running 8 to 11 psi.

Pretty sure the turbo is the only thing that can allow oil into the coolant. Pull the drain hose on the bottom of the turbo and pressure test the cooling system to 13psi and watch for coolant running out the oil drain of the turbo. If it does that confirms your Problem.
