225 PM water getting in #6 cyl.

[seansbaja1982]

Getting water in #6 cylinder on a 96 225 PM Replaced the head gasket and did not fix it. 2 hours on the fresh engine. Any ideas, got me puzzled? Noticed it yesterday after I pulled plugs to check color. Definitely water, not alot though. Can see water on the plug and in the cylinder when I had the head off.
Ran it on the hose and same thing. Also seems to have high water pressure.
Seemed ok on the hose Sunday, Monday on the lake when I checked the plugs I saw the water. Then I started it and went to put it on the trailer notice the high water pressure.

How high of water pressure?

[seansbaja1982]

10 psi idle and 25 psi at 6000 rpm.

That’s exactly what I’m seeing on mine right now but haven’t seen water in the cylinders. Just pulled my powerhead to check the exhaust plate and don’t have any clogs

[Bunger]

#6 is bottom left cylinder. Pull the exhaust divider and make sure water isn’t leaking and getting sucked in. Could also suck water in from base gaskets below being the bottom cylinder

How does the tell tale stream look? I had a crack in a combustion chamber allowing water into the cylinder, but the indicator that I had an issue was the the pulsing from the tell tale.

exhaust divider pull it !!! ive had same problem several times started using a sealant along with new gasket

[Bunger]

Make sure you clean the gasket surfaces of the block and divider plate super good and clean with brake cleaner to get any oil
and grease off before re assembly

Pulled divider, cracked on bottom.

[Bunger]

Divider was cracked?

[seansbaja1982]

Yes exhaust divider plate is cracked all the way around on the bottom. Spraying water into #6 cylinder.

[Bunger]

Damn gnarly. At least you found the issue. Was the motor still running good?

[seansbaja1982]

Still running ok. Have to figure out high water pressure yet. Sucked up some sand last Sunday. Think I will have to pull the power head and clean out adapter plate.
