My car sat in the rain overnight a month ago and I am pretty sure SOME water got into the carbs. At the time it barely turned over and would not start.
Now it will not turn over at all. Pulled the plugs, jacked up one wheel, and tried to get it to move by turning the wheel. No luck. Could the water that got in have frozen it due to rust? Did I possibly create a hydro lock situation and break something? How can I break it loose? |

Hi,
Probably toast from the pic. Still, if you have compressor the cheap HF leakdown tool will be enough to tell you if you can save it. Till leakdown everything is a swag. Not certain of the value of reboring cylinders vs.buying new from ems. He sent me the material data sheets for his 96 mm jugs. At the time they were not AA and he was getting them cast in the US. Worth an email to see if that's still the case. Try to avoid becoming the next Dirk Wright. |
