I don't know that I'd go buying a new head, but you should check that one out. Maybe re-seat/replace the valves, possibly get it decked, if it's warped. That head gasket was toast for sure.

If your manifold's looking "like ****", just replace it now. Or you might be replacing the whole engine next time around, if you hydrolock it. Could be worse though, just be glad you don't have to replace TWO manifolds/elbows.

Might be time for a complete rebuild

Your answers
You engine is 35 years old and still running. Out of respect for that......

I like the way this was stated.
I've been told i have an "Iron Duke" but research on this is a liitle vague..be that as it may, I'm becoming more firmly attached to this engine. It'll be saved. I have a more complete grasp on what's happening now that I've actually seen the water shooting out of the spark plug holes.
I really do love this boat and engine..

thanks guys...you knew I'd come to this conclusion, didn't ya? )))

I ask in all sincerity and with all respect due, what exactly is your conclusion? Are you saying you will park it until you can get new manifold and riser? and refurbish the head and new gasket? and fix the casting pieces that broke?

I can tell that you feel you have reached the end of something but it is hard for me to tell what you mean. Speak clearly man....

I would die for this engine

I'm confused as to what the conclusion is as well
Please elaborate, or should we just let it alone?....

Re: Spewing Gas Into the Lake. Yeah Baby.

i went to the boat today, took pics, have questions about something "i did"..
the conclusion is that I recognize the issues, recognize the significance of this non breathing source of life, need to stop bandaiding this..
have a new head gasket coming...that said, hold on for more stupid human tricks.. still not in the mood to research correct pic posting..ya get what ya get
