I have a few issues here, I will start with the overheating, I had the ears on just checking on another issue I have going on and realized the temp sky rocketing, hot to the touch on both heads and gauge says it is also hot. I am getting a decent normal stream from the pisser, I removed the thermostats just to make sure and also the valve between the thermo's the valve had a small unidentifiable chunk stuck in it which I removed and ran the engine again still hot right away. After further inspection the chunk may or may not be a chunk of gasket material I am hoping not, All plugs and compression are good. When I started the engine with ears attached again I loosened the thermostat housing to make sure I was getting water through, It wasnt at first then it started to slowly pour. What am I missing? Is there a way to check or clear any possible blockages, I heard blowing air, but where? Up the pisser? ouch Ha Ha.... is it possible the water pump/ impeller be bad even if I am getting good pressure on my gauge and a good stream I wouldn't think it would get so hot so fast even with a bad impeller. I had the boat out last weekend and never had a temp problem. It is a saltwater boat but the top end was re-done less than two years ago and I periodically use a salt remover to flush with.....
Ok on to the next...... my engine will not turn up past 4900 rpm which it used to run about 5300-5400. Once in a while it will have full power then cut right back. I was having trouble not turning past 4200 and realized I had a leaky spark plug wire which has since been replaced and runs better but still not all the way. All 6 cylinders are firing, the plugs seem identical to each other, and the compression are all within 3 points of each other. I have a fear that after letting someone else look at it they may have moved the timing advance screw. Would this cause my problem? I checked the timing on the water at idle and it seems fine, after some reading I see there is a WOT timing point as well how do I find this or what is it? I have a "1996 200 ocean pro" If it is not the timing do you have any suggestions? and help with the WOT timing point would be great too. Thanks alot I realize I may be a little wordy just trying to cover bases. I appreciate any good help.
