Hi All-
I recently purchased Bassett Headers and rigged up the water injection. I notice the #2 collector is blowing water out, which is telling me too much water is going to injection system. The observer side is fine - no water leakage out the breather hole. The driver side (#2 exhaust port) is a different story. I unhooked the water to the injection system, ran the headers dry, and no leakage - so not a cracked head. The boat ran great. I pulled the header when I got in and cooled her down - no exhaust leaks between the head, gasket, and header.
Any pointers? Would like to run the water through the headers, but remember my dad never recommending water through the headers with risk of haudrilicing the motor. I have the control valve to control water flow and the T that comes with the headers from Bassett. Plumbing is from motor (out tunnel ram), to hose up to gate valve, back to T spring valve, to header injectors. Also have another hose out the other exit on the tunnel ram going out through the transom .
Thanks for any thoughts. Sean
