On my four winns 220 liberator with a 350 Crusader...
Last Time I had the boat out about 1 mile from home I was crusing at about 30 @2800 rpms when all f a sudden the oil prssure rockets up to 80lbs and the temp goes from 145-150 to 200... I shut her down and let her cool.... I appeard to have steam coming from the exhaust when I was running it.... Weh I started it back up it went to 160 immediatly but I drove hoime no problem and it held Idle. After this I check the oiol and all is well no water and it is crystal clean. I take it out today to go fishing and ...... she wouldnt start at idle and once I got her started if i lower it below 1500 it will choke it self and die. I also got some seriuos black smoke. So I stop trying to start and stablize the engine and check it over.. all looks well but there is water in the oil... Not a whole lot but enough to make a little bit milky. So I am thinking head gaskte would cause the oil.. the lack of idle... and the smoke... Also when she was running the last mile home the night she overheated... the right port side bank of the engine was making a wierd noise... like FLAP FLAP FLAP instead of a nice glub glubglub.... does this analsys sound correct... If so I will swap out those gaskets tommorrow.
