Post What are the chances?
What are the chances of blowing both head gaskets at the exact same time? Couple weeks ago i was riding around and the motor started blowing blue smoke and blowing oil out of both headers. I thought it was something major like maybe a cracked block. Sent it to get fixed but they said it was just gaskets. I don't know jack squat about engines but isn't the chances of blowing head gaskets on both sides pretty slim to none?
Sorry if this is a dumb question....

It is highly unlikely, but possible. Only scenario I can think of, is if the motor overheated (from either running lean, or if you were stuck in the mud and shut the motor down before the fan had a chance to cool the block).

That is very odd. How many hours on the engine? Did you run it hard the last time you used it? I'm thinking like BoatDR now.

Well the good news is that godevil has you back up and running. They have some pretty good techs, and I'm sure they would have checked the motor over to make sure that they fixed what ever the heck caused this problem.
