Thanks Kerry, I'm having some isuues with the cooling system on twin 318's. Both engines were just overhauled and I've recently started the port side. All of the manifolds, elbows and risers including the mounting kits are brand new. I have a small bit of cooling water ending up in the bottom of the elbow at the rear of the manifold each time I start up then shut down. I suspect the "o" rings supplied with the mounting kit are not thick enough, therefor not getting an adequate amount of compression when torqued, resulting in water getting over the inner ring (about two tablespoons) in each side. When I removed the old exhaust system, I did not take note of which end of the muffler was which, so I am also concerned about that. Both ends of the muffler have six flukes for water and exhaust to travel through however, one end has six in a row and the other end has two rows of three flukes turned 90 degrees from the six in a row. Would I be experiencing "back up" due to improper muffler installation? This unwanted water seems to be fresh water (not antifreeze) with a high carbon content-very dark. The boat is out of the water so the cooling water is being provided via a garden hose to the raw water pump. A friend of mine suggested that I just "through 'er in the water she'll be fine". Well now I'm glad I did'nt heed his advice cause the waves and rocks are much more forgiving in my shop!
