Greetings,
I have a chevy 350 in a Mastercraft American Skier (don't ask..) and I'm not sure how to test the exhaust manifold to see if it is good. I have it off the engine due to very little water coming out the port exhaust flapper and I wanted to inspect it. I've checked the water circulator pump impeller as well and it seems to be good. The boat has a thru-hull water pickup. I have excessive rust build up inside the thermostat neck (where all the hoses connect to) and it is a posibility that the water is being 'favored' to the starboard exhaust side, but can't really look inside of it. There is rust swelling in the smaller hose tubes but can see through it.
Having the manifold off, can I test it to see whether or not if is the issue and rule it out?
