Got a 87 cobalt 223 it’s got a BBC and a Alpha drive. Recently just installed the engine and I’m getting less water return out the starboard side exhaust as well as a noticeable difference in temperature between the two manifolds (one getting, and being hotter then the other).
This is being ran off the hose, haven’t had it in water yet
the old manifolds were replaced and the old risers cleaned and dipped in muriatic acid prior to reinstalling. The impeller is new. All hoses and everything else related hooked back up correctly.
I suspect the starboard side riser is to blame but wanted to post to see if there is anything I may be over looking.
Obviously there is a restriction somewhere, any input would be great before I go taking things apart and spending money.
thanks guys!
