What about the water pocket cover? If that's warped or scorched it could create a water flow issue. Is that easy to replace? It's easy to get to but would the bolts be tough to loosen?

Draining engine and manifolds of water

If I remove the petcocks from the engine block, will that also drain the water from the exhaust manifolds or will I need to detach the hoses for those to drain? Engine is a Merc 888. Thanks

Okay, I found the timing marks. I bought new plug wires. I'll time the engine at 600 to 700 rpm and see how it goes.

I have access to a timing light. However, I don't think the timing "teeth" shown in the video are on the motor.

One more question - the thermostat - it's installed with the spring side down (not up), as in down toward the water circulating pump?

They do get warm but not like a car exhaust that gets no cooling water. If you could find where the temp sensor is located that would help me a lot - I'd know exactly where to look and see if that...

They're pretty hot, you couldn't keep your hands on them for long. It's like water is getting sucked in pretty well at the seawater pump, but then not getting circulated to the manifolds and risers.

As far as checking water temp that goes into the elbows/manifolds, would you do that by touch of actual temp gauge?
