Big BLock Chevy water pressure?
 

cruising at 3k rpm what should water pressure be with a stock Mercruiser sea pump, w/pump crossover no stat and Gil dry pipes

Re: Big BLock Chevy water pressure?
 

the pressure should be arond 10 to 15 psi with a cross over and no stat. if pressure is to low check the pump and the water inlet ( drive ? or transom pick up) if pressure is to high check for a restriction in the engine or the exhaust
