Hello I have a six cylinder straight 120 hp , not sure on age but came out of a combine marinised
the problem is the heat exchanger when filled with water it drains into the engine ,so i put a new head gasket on thinking that this was the problem but as soon as the engine was started up it did same thing again , So we had too turn engine over time an again to blow water out of the engine .
Mate took away heat exchanger to test dont know how he tested it , But he says its not leaking Iknow nothing about engines but he is an engineer thanks for any help
 
Sounds like you may have a leaking exhaust manifold or a cracked head. Remove exhaust manifold and look for water trail mark if none pressure test.
