Re: QD19 running a little hot?

[beerman57]

All the water exits midway down the mid, at the "telltail". What I call the snout, at the bottom, rear of the cav. plate is where the exhaust goes. I have to look at something, which means pulling the P/H again. I think my base gasket is right, at least it’s right for the bottom of the block. But all the other P/H base gaskets I have don’t fit the incoming water opening on the mid. But that would cause the P/H to be hot from a lack of water and should cool the exhaust from the leaking water. Really, I’m pretty sure the base gasket is right, it has the circle at the front for the driveshaft. What’s bothering me now is that none of the other base gaskets I have seal off the incoming water from the mid to the P/H – the opening on the gasket isn’t right. But none of those gaskets has the circle at the front for the driveshaft either.
