Well got the beast running today in a small barrel of water.
Question:How soon should I see water exit after the motor is started and running at idle?
The motor started and ran solid for 5 mins. Had quite a bit of exhaust coming out of the tub while submerged. But, I was getting exhaust/steam from the water exit at the back of the motor. I did not see any water coming from the exit even after 5 mins of run time. The motor was starting to run hot as it started to smoke a little and I shut it down.
I installed an entire water pump kit but I am getting some oil leaking in to the tub. I replaced the bearing cap seal but I did not changeout the shift rod bushing/seal. Looks like I will take it apart next weekend and replace the bushing as well.
