Hello to anyone who may be able to assist in this matter. Basically, i am the fool who ran his motor when i knew it wasnt pumping enough cooling water.
It is an old Merc in line six and was apparently rebuilt a a couple of years ago.
The engine was running fine, then started to cough etc etc, died, and now only tries to fire. I am wondering what the most likely thing to happen to the engine on overheat, whether a gasket has blown and where the best place is for me to start looking. I have an engine manual and am fairly mechanically minded so the big question is... To try to fix it or try to save up for another motor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
