"Hey boat guys or gals - i have an 81 omc 800 with gm 3.8L v6, I had a water pump problem and got it very hot, repaired the pump problem but now even though the motor runs good there is steam coming out of valve cover on rh bank. I removed the spark plugs on that bank but there is no indication of water in the cyls. Could this be a bad gasket or cracked head? Also where would be the best place to buy parts / gaskets for this motor? I live in Alberta, Canada.
Thanks for any help or sugestions"
