Title: Water in Valves..
Post by: Dyer on June 28, 2021, 08:40:05 AM
So i took the boat out to get wet Sunday ( Pine Flats ) and after a lap my buddy noticed water bubbling from my breather filters and dropping on my headers a little. Could this be from running my water valve to open that feeds and cools my headers or is it a blown gasket someplace? I have a video of it happening on the water but can not post video?

Did you pull the valve covers off and take a look? Full blown milkshake?
Run it all the time and this just started happening? Adjusted anything?

Any extra info will help the experts

Just ran it first time after cam break in and on the water. Everything is new and just had carb rebuilt as well. Did not take the valve off yet but took the filter off and looked on the bottom and yes, milk shake. This was the very first lap after the build and had fresh oil in it as well.

I would guess that when you re-installed the intake manifold you didn’t get a good seal around the water jacket between the manifold and the cylinder head and water is leaking into the lifter valley. Just a guess?

That sounds like a good possibility. I had a shop that i will not say rebuild the carb, timing, and get to ideal just before this trip.
Thank you for the help
