Hey Guys.
I have a 1987 135 V6 Mercury. so far I have changed the Pump, Poppit valve and Thermostats. I cranked the engine with the water ears and brought the engine up to a normal temp acording to the Gage. I ran the engine at 3000 RPMs( no load) The Gage moved close the hot indicator line. I did not get a warning horn ( I do not trust the horn only to protect my engine). The infared Thermometer read 187 degrees on port head and 170 on the starboard. I think this is too hot. The Pee stream is very good and water is comming out the exhaust looks normal. Any advice on to go from here?
