I have a 20 year old Volvo Penta MD17C diesel engine with overheating
problems. The engine is raw water cooled. I have checked and/or replaced
everything from the thru hull to the manifold. I have run saltaway, vinegar
and muretic acid through the engine. I have little white stream when I start
the engine (which runs pretty well) but it gets into the red zone after I
run it for a while developing much more white smoke. My quess is that the
cooling passageways are plugged up. Any suggestions of other things to try?

I was suffering overheating for years. Beliveme, the only and radical solution for this is to take apart cylinder heads and rinse all the the rust, mud et. Mine worhks AOK after doing that (a 27 years engine).Sorry about my english.
