OK during my exhultation of getting this motor to run, my exhuberance was cut short when I noticed water bubbling/boiling out of the top of my exhaust cover on the engine block (slight trickle but constant). I then moved my attention to the exhaust ports and noticed only exhaust coming from them, no water. Not a drop, not a trickle and certainly not a spray. I've searched the site and found posts about water tests you can do to diagnose a blockage but hoping someone can direct me to something that has the details and or pics of the process including cleaning tools / agents and tips.
FYI
Service done so far:
carb cleaning and kit installed - gas tank has little rust but all sediment removed and inline filter installed, new hose as well
new head gasket - water jacket was fairly clean only little sediment/corrosion removed (no blockage)
new exhaust gasket - after i saw water bubbling out I tightened the screws a bit more but have not retested (still doesn't explain lack of water from exhaust ports)
new drive pin
new starter spring
Engine being tested in large barrel, water up to lowest of exhaust holes.
Thanks guys... I know this has come up before and I appreciate you patience.
