5.7 OMC overheating

[Lou C]

The purpose of the guide that fits into the lower grommet is to guide the water tube into the grommet as you install the upper gear housing. If you have a bad overheat this plastic part can get kind of melted. Make sure the water tube gaskets really fit right.

appreciate the reply! I am going to put the gaskets/seals for the water pump adapter on this week and see if that helps, if not, I'll take the lower unit off again and replace the lower grommets and guide. Will let you know.

Hijacked old thread. You were lucky to get answer. Why didn't you start a new thread?
