Re: water problems
Removing your poppet (relief valve) won't help getting water to the tell-tale. That will make it worse, to where the water entering the cooling system will be exited through the exhaust without fully circulating around the block. It's like opening the plug at the bottom of a sink. <br />I don't understand what you mean by getting water out the tell-tale after a quick restart,,,,that doesn't make sense to me. <br /><br />When running the engine with muffs at idle, do you see water exiting the upper exhaust ports? If so, your poppet could be stuck in the open position... Th poppet is removed from the outside. Two bolts hold the cover on, and if I remember correctly the rest is all one piece, that should just pull out. There is a second metal piece under the cover that has a screw going through it, a plastic washer, diphram, and on the other side a spring and the poppet valve. That whoule section whould come out at once, maybe the relief valve plate (as it is called) is stuck to the block).<br />Check this link out to see a diagram..<br />You may have to copy and paste, as it is pretty long... Look at par#'s 11-22<br /><br />
