    Fleetwin,
    Got some bad, good, and great news. First the bad news I put all the new gaskets on the exhaust, new head gasket and I still had the same problem not running on bottom cylinder. I know after tearing into the motor those gaskets and the water jackets and exhaust plate area needed cleaning so that’s the good news.

    I set down and started thinking what the heck could be going on with this motor. Maybe it has a hole in the block or maybe it is sucking water into the engine from the bottom. Now for the great news I thought before pulling the power head I will try and tighten the bottom bolts that hold it on. 6 bolts and I turned them all 1/4 to 1/2 turn tighter closer to 1/2 turn per bolt. I put the motor back in the water and boom it was running on the bottom cylinder and more water was coming out the blubber holes so water had to be spraying into the motor some how?

    I got all the gaskets for the engine. I think the next step should be to pull the power head and inspect everything under there put new gaskets on etc?? Also put in a new impeller and thermostat etc.

    Thanks for the help,
    Joe
