WOAH FOLKS!!!!! He definately has a problem if the pisser is emitting steam. What this indicates is a very hot spot somewhere in the cooling system. In the past I have found that somewhere one of the water deflectors has deterorated to the point that the water is not flowing in the correct direction. ANY time you have steam coming out the pisser you have a very hot spot somewhere no matter what brand motor you have and steam aint good on any brand. My suggestion is find a dealer that actually has a digital infrared temp unit and have them locate the hotspot so that you can go to "THAT SPOT' and not start to replace parts blindly. They can hook up the muffs and crank the engine and let it reach operating temps and then just point the temp unit at the motor and you will find your hot spot. Then you can figure out if its a gasket,deflector, or possibly and hopefully just a restriction that can be removed.

Hey,I din't know you were bfd on here.Guys,this is my old Gambler he has,and I have his old Tracker.Seems we're both having problems.I wish I could help you Otto but the motor never did that when I had it or I would have fixed it.See my post on 9.9 ignition problem.
Hope you get the problem fixed fast and cheap.
