Ford Lehman 120 heat exchanger

I just finished switching my heat exchanger, how long should engine run before water comes out of exhaust. I turned engine on but no water is coming out of exhaust

It can take 30 sec. to a minute perhaps if the mufgler is dry and empty.

Feel the cover plate of your raw water pump with the engine running. If it's cool and doesn't warm up or get hot it's pumping water.

Could be an air lock. Loosen a hose and see if water is running
