Ok guys I put new head gasket,exhaust gasket cleaned water passages put in new inpeller and motor seems to run good-The qestion I have is are the cylinder head and plugs going to get very hot while running-The side of the block feels ok I can lay my hand on it for awhile but the head I can only put my hand on for a second-I have a cheap thermal temp gun if I hold it a couple inches away the head is anywhere from 160-190 but if I hold it within a 1/2 inch its reading high wich is over 230-The block reads around 125 all times. Ran motor for about 45min in drum and seemed ok up and down through throttle range-Do these motors run hot or what-Thanx in advance.
