I have my 90' 120hp force L-drive water pump changed last year.<br /><br />I can not start the motor any more this year. When I remove all plugs and rotate the engine again, I find the water come out from the two lower cylinders. I removed the engine head, the gasket looks good. <br /><br />Is there any other issues can cause a water leak?<br /><br />Thanks in advance.

Re: Water leak in cylinders

Yes, it could be a cracked block to the <br />water jacket,from water freezing in the block. was the motor "winterized" ?<br />I have fears.But do a compression check.<br />And other cauyses could be a leaking bypass valve,or exaust port gasket.<br /> <br /><br />------------------<br />the Early bird get's the worm...So, he don't have to stop for bait.
