    As long as water is coming out the idle relief port the powerhead temperature should be OK. The cylinder heads tend to run a bit hotter than the block and it should be confirmed with an infrared thermometer to be sure the motor isn’t overheating. These motors will also run hotter when in gear and under a load.
