We have pressure tested exhaust so they seem to be good. What I understand...
After experiencing water in the cylinders and engine oil (Mercruiser 5.7 efi) we tried to renovate the cylinder heads and checked the exhaust elbow and exhaust manfold for tightness. However, water is still penetrating some cylinders and we still find water in the engine oil. Has anyone...
