Hi,
I just had my port side engine taken apart due to water ingestion by corroded exhaust manifolds. My mechanic changed the manifolds, had the heads machined, replaced all the gaskets, etc, etc. She starts perfectly and sounds fine. Concern i have is that both the oil pressure and water pressure are much lower than the other engine.
The untouched engine run at about 55-60PSI on the oil at 3000RPM and about 7PSI on the water at idle. The redone engine gets 36PSI max on oil at 3000RPM and 0.0 PSI at idle.
Something must be wrong.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
