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? |

Since you'll have everything apart, I'd be inclined to replace all seals. Cheap insurance. You can buy a kit that has everything.
http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-Victor-...R039198009.html Not that Im a fan of AA, but theirs was the easiest link to find. And the price isn't bad. Hopefully the water / rust didn't make it down to the crank. Once you have the pistons out, you can look inside and see if you need to split the case. If all looks clean and you don't see any signs of rust or oil leaking around the main seals, you could probably leave those as is. But like I said, cheap peace of mind to replace now. Just my .02... |
