.....but it´s till i had no water flow out of the exhaust. I changed the impeller set and the pressure was as high, that my hose was cut imediately. Perhaps the hose was old and couldnt handle high pressure, but the water press gauge showed curious data too.
I wanted to test my water press gauge, now its broken

IMO you need a new hose and possible a new water circ pump and double check for restrictions like I asked in the t stat / housing and necks and the exhaust / manifolds and risers - water jackets. just my 2 C s

i have a new hose, but i wont destroy it. I think the circ pump cannot be the problem. When the t stat is closed the engine doesn´t pick up new water. The pump will only pump around and when i´m not in drive (0mls/h) and 5000 rpm there is no problem.
All goes through a small bypass direct to the exhaust when it´s cold.
I ordered a new raw water pump and will make a test drive at the weekend. I´ll reflush it once more and see what will happen.
I´´ll keep you informed.
Thanks so long for helping

Are you sure head and intake is possible? When the t stat is closed the engine doesnt pick up new water. It´s only going round (water pump - block). IMO it could only be blocked in the t stat housing or exhaust. I cleaned the t stat housing and sand blasted it as good as i came in. I´ll reflush the exhaust and see what happens. Unfortunately i´ve broken the water press gauge. So i will have to improve.

When your motor is working correctly:
When the tstat is closed some water goes back into engine and much goes into exhaust.
It's a beautiful design, that Merc t-stat housing is.
It recirculates water back to the motor to warm it up quicker and to keep engine water temps more consistent, yet flows water to the exhaust full time.
