When the throttle valve is in the slow speed position it puts water pressure to the t-stat covers which pushes the t-stats into there seats and allows them to regulate the temp. When teh throttel reaches a certain point it then reroutes that water from teh valve to the pisser and this takes the pressure away from the t-stat diaphrams which allows the housings to move away from the seats and then the water freely flows so that nothing regulates the temp except the water flowing through the heads. A common cause of the pisser stopping after the engine is up to temp and when you give it throttle is leaking head gaskets. It would be a good idea to retorque the heads just to be safe.

Two thoughts...if the system is pressurized, would the leaking diverter cause a disruption in the flow?...would I see water leaking past the head gaskets if that?...and do you know the torque setting?...

And when I said not over 3 grand...pretty sure not, but additionally not sure tach is reading properly...it's a new teleflex...do you know for sure which setting it should be on
