I just put on new heads and manifold onto my sbc 1989 mercruiser I got it started and it fired right up it runs mint...I have all new gaskets from risers to heads. I am getting ALOT of steam coming out of the starboard side of the motor..I have it hooked up to the hose so the water is cold. Its white but its a good amount of steam...enough to scare me...Thereis alot of water coming out... but it is hotter on the starboard side but not by much...It seems like a good amount but who knows...what should I check to hopefully reasure myself??? Where are the places that clogs accure or things go wrong?
I know there are alot of threads on this but but they are all different!
thanks Harry

AIR TIME

could be low water pressure on the hose, can you bring it to a boat ramp and start it up on the trailer

Is it an Alpha drive?
