    hey guys was wondering if i could get some help. i have a blown jet boat with lightnings, i just noticed water in the oil. removed the headers, they look good. i dont think the head gasket is blown it is copper. my question is if i am plumbed correctly. -8 of the pump tees into 2 -8's into each side of the block, a -8 comes out of each side of the bds manifold and tie into a remote water manifold, the remote then feeds each header w/ a -8 line and the remote manifold also has a -6 line going to a dump. the motor never runs over 120. but i am wondering if may the pressure is to high. what is a safe water pressure to run to the block. never had a problem before when running bassets.

    Sam how do you dump your water now.Is the only dump the one from the headers and the -08 t off before the headers?Put a guage in the port in your innercooler and take it to lopez and check.Put your blower headers on and bring it to ming.

    no intercooler is seperate, it comes from a pick up of the rideplate, totally seperate from engine. info do you think the copper gaskets are leaking, what do you recommend as for as water psi to the block for an engine like mine(blown 580).
