The lower crank seal looked OK and the new plugs don’t really show any signs of water so now I’m thinking the water has to be coming in thru the exhaust port and going under a piston while it’s at the top of its stroke. The compression numbers are good to so I’m leaning more now towards the exhaust cover or its gaskets. One gasket under the baffle was homemade out of cork material and had just about burned thru. The manifold has been changed to so who knows what’s been done to the rest of the motor. One good thing about pulling the powerhead, I discovered the Welch plug in the head was about ready to fall out.
