I just recently purchased it. I did have the raw water pump checked, impeller is like new. The mechanic back flushed the raw water side from the heat ex changer back. The 2 times its over heated, the exhaust risers were slightly warm to the touch, and were no warmer then the other engine. Both times it has forced the antifreeze out of the reserve tank.

Check your pulleys, tensioner and water pump for a stuck bearing causing the strap to slip.
