yeah, i gotta get one of those I/R thermo temp gauges, before i go wiring in a new gauge set. Ill be going back to shop. im not sure if we checked / replaced the impeller in the drive. the project went on for so long and we were so focussed on engine we might have ignored the raw water intake, also it was replaced previous to this project, so may have assumed (bad word) it was good. gotta review mechanics time. Reviewing some past 470 repair posts it seems an overheat may damage this area too. anyway thats where ill start.
question on when it shut down, would an overheat just shut down suddenly? just quit like that? . i though maybe fuel problem but i guess that would sputter before it quit. Plus it was too hot to touch. Also, what mechanism in engine shuts it down when it gets too hot? it would not restart but would turn over. even after waiting 30-40 min.
