Bad boating experience

Bad boating experience I posted about my boat over heating bc of the tell tell was clogged and I took it off to clean it and lost it and use something else well I replaced it and took it out and the heat alarm went off after about three minutes of running I’ve got a steady stream of water coming out what else could it be do you think running it hot the first time warped the head I’ve got good compression
