Overheatng Problem

[LESTERUS]

sweet:

i had the same problem and ended up changing the engine to a v6 4.3, uses the same multiplication in the outdrive. however you can:

- take end the caps off the heat exchanger and clean the lines with a thin wire brush.
- check the raisers gaskets and make sure they are metal with close passage paper gaskets
- check the timing, the 470 is very sensitive if off timing just a little bit.
- make sure all hoses are straigth and disconect the hose that comes from the outdrive and make sure the drive's impeller is sending water out.
- replace radiator cap

good luck with that engine.!!!
