Had the risers changed in January. Found out yesterday (you don't want to know how, all I can say is OUCH) that the stbd riser is much hotter than the port. Manifolds seem about the same. Port riser is warm. stbd riser is hot. Temp gauge is reading 140. I guess the gauge is reading the port side. My new mechanic says it is possible the gasket is installed wrong or it's the wrong gasket. Nothing would surprise me because the mechanic I was using would make a very good meat cutter. It will be coming off within the week. I am just trying to get any other opinions. Anyone have an issue like this? I have read that one side of the motor will run hotter than the other. BTW the circulation pump, t stat housing and t stat were also replaced. Thank you.
