I have a 97 blue water Monte Carlo I just put an engine into it last year. I put it on the muffs and ran water through it yesterday. At first I had no water at all cycling through. I turned up the hose and got water. However, the starboard side exhaust is really hot while the port side is not. I've done some searching and it seems this is a common problem. Some saying that it is normal and others saying anything from water pump impeller to blockage in the cooling line. So, I am coming to you guys for assistance.
