Hay maybe he is a relative of mine

Well I cant go and test the oil cooler. We got a thunder storms all night. I will test it later tonight after the rain stops. I ruled out the exhaust being the problem. If I was having that much reversion the boat wouldn't start of idle correctly. and I would have some steam coming from the tail pipes witch I never saw. Also I have long tube headers that are fully jacketed there is no gasket that seals water. The leak is substantial enough water to raise the fluid level on the dip stick 3" in only 2 hours running time.

Thanks again for the support , I will keep you all posted.

Mine comes out and apart first thing Monday.
What do you say we go buy some "air cooled" scooters and race around in the parking lot of Gullies

You go first and tell me how much fun it is.LOL

I could have my father bring down the 19' Gayliner with that big 4 cylinder in it until we get running again.

Hry Hotboat,i hope its not the trimtab doin it,just kidding,how much water pressure do you have,what head gaskets? was the block o-ringed? tripps

Trips I only had 2-3 psi of pressure at cruse speed and the block runs super cool due to the fact that it is a blower set up. I already had a problem with one of the heads Now I am thinking its the other.This morning I spotted some black residue on the bottom of the hull just below the front edge of the head . I am thinking that might be from a leak on the head.

Any way I just got home from dropping the boat off and it is now in very good hands. They say worst case scenario , if I need an new head I should be up and running in two weeks. depending on availability from GM.

I waited this long what's another two weeks.

im quite sure bast chevy in seaford has them in stock and i would need the last 3 nunbers on it ,call me if you have problems,there are about 20 engine builders on li and im quite sure one of them have one new head if thats the problem tripps

Thanks I will get a hold of you if there is a problum.

Paul-
Dude sorry to hear of your problems. You've sure worked hard to get to where you are but you'll look back on this and will seem like a mole hill compared to the mountain that you;ve already climbed. Take care and again sorry to hear this.

2 weeks? Are they going to mill the head and block?

Based upon Paul's prior posts and experience, I would have to say if he was told 2 weeks, it will more than likely be 3-4 weeks. For his sake let's think positive.
