ok i have the engine out.. the plate has been repaired before. im not sure if it’s a failed repair or it re-froze.. regardless I have to get it tig welded back together.
I would do it myself but I’m only AWS certified to weld 6011/7018.
in the meantime I’m looking for that leak near the thermostats, and it seems to have disapeared at the moment! ack!
now…. I put pressurized water in the water inlet, i can get the engine to fill (it seems) but I cannot get any water to come out the exhaust?.. is the ONLY way for water to get out thru the thermostats??? I guess that would kinda make some sense.. but if the thermostats fail shut the engine is toast.. not so sure that’s so smart.
