HELP! Mercury 3.0L block differences

[Mxdude91]

I replaced the bleed lines about a year ago with one mercury hose,but on Saturday night i pulled the bleed line off 1 by 1 and blew thru them and checked the operation of the inline check valves and pulled each fitting out of the block and checked the valves and made sure they were routed correctly to the specs of the service manual for the 98 225 carb

This is how the engine is running,I do give it some gas with it in neutral

****So I figured out my problem, thought I would share.. im completely embarrassed right now, but happier than hell I figured it out.
All 3 of the port pistons are in upside down. Im not sure how I did it and looked dead at them while installing the heads.***

That’s the plan on the pistons,I just thought Chaz would have an interesting way of checking the reed valves.
