1998 Volvo Penta 5.7 Vortec

[Gallen47]

I have a fresh rebuild running on stand and I am not getting water out of the port side manifold ? I took the riser off to see if it was clogged but can't find anything? New thermostat installed. All the water just seems to flow thru the starboard side?


Thanks in advance for your help

What VP 5.7 so we can see the configuration? GL-x maybe?

It is a 1998 SX hope the pics will help.I also noticed that the hose on the back of the power steering cooler collapsed like it was drawing more water than supplied. I check the water supply and the pressure seemed fine.

Thanks,

G

With holley 2bbl carb its a GL something, that helps

Uses the 4 hose system and should not have an issue sending flow out the port side unless there is a restriction in the thermostat housing

How is the temp on the manifold port side?

very hot

Hose collapsed is a blockage

Back flush the system. Most likely debris in the PS cooler

The hose might not be have enough pressure??
Remember in a normal situation the motor can draw off the billions of gallons in the lake or river.
How old are the manifold/risers?
