hello everybody
Ive been dealing with this problem since last season a/f getting in to my oil i pressure tested the system and it loses pressure.
last season i changed the exhuast manifold to aluminium one because i could not get the old cast one to seal up at the riser gasket. so i upgraded to a use aluminum one presure test before i put it on it held after taking the boat out for a run got back to the dock and a/f was low pressure tested again losing pressure. I removed exhaust manifold tested on bench and it loses pressure around the gasket replaced gasket still does not seal up tried two gasket still no luck .
also ran a wire up the weep hole about two inches no a/f leaking out of that .
my question to everybody is while i had the riser off i presure tested the engine for 5min at 15 psi and it did not drop in presure can a head gasket not leak cold but leak when warm ?
sorry this is long but just trying to rule out if this is just a riser gasket problem or something else also i did a compresion test and all where between 145 and 155 thank you in advance for all your help
