Having what seems to be a problem with the cooling system.
Motor: 1998 GM 350 5.0 GL Serial:4110199635
Outdrive: Volvo SX-M 1.60
I recently had the block and heads replaced on the motor, replaced the driveshaft, u-joints, pinion gear etc. in the upper gear housing myself and have it all together again. On the bottom side of the manifold (port side) is what I thought was a bypass for excess water that is blowing lots of hot water into my engine compartment. To tell you the truth, I don't know if this is normal or not, I do not remember it happening before the changes mentioned. Once the water level gets up of course the bilge pumps it out, but it spews hot water out the side which can get you pretty good if you're not expecting it (sort of like spilling hot coffee in your lap). I tested it with muffs and it expels the water, tested in the lake and it does the same thing. I've watched the temperature gauge and it's not heating up (never got over 160). Any help will be much appreciated.
