When I bought my used squarenose, it had a flush kit installed in the water line between the rear cylinder and the exhaust. (Coffman)
I have just recently realized where the water flows when the motor is running: pump -> exhaust manifold -> cylinders -> head -> exhaust.
Was my flush kit installed in the wrong place? Wouldn't the water just run into the exhaust water jacket and only cool everything downstream (ie, not cool the head, cylinders, etc)
Or does the water run both ways - ie, it does flow into exhaust, but also runs backwards, down into the head, cylinders, manifold and out to the pump...??
