    Mercruiser 2.5 ticking sound

    did you make sure that each lifter was put back to the exact same lobe? flat tappet lifters mate for life. if you swap lobes and lifters, you usually take out the lobe and the lifters.

    No water out of exhaust.

    at low speeds and the low water flow of a hose while on the muffs, most of the water will come out the idle relief ports. most likely the bit of plastic is what is left of your flappers
