As I was getting ready to drive the 914 to work, for the first time since I rebuilt the motor, I checked the oil and noticed beads of water on the dip stick. It rained pretty heavy yesterday and I belive water got in vent on the oil fill tower. Am I screwed? Am I going to need to pull the motor back apart?

You do need to keep the water from getting in though if at all possible. It is normal for water that is suspended in air to come out of suspension in your crankcase. This is why you hear people say that your oil temperature needs to reach at least 220 degrees. The boiling point of water to get it out of there. Change your oil at least every three months even if you don't drive the car much and always start the car and warm it up well at least once a week if you are not driving it daily. By the way, if you are talking about a quart of water in your crankcase and not just condensation on your dipstick you need to get your raintray back on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
