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?

I had an engine that took in some water through a carb when sitting outside. Took in several quarts of water. I drained the oil first which was good since oil floats on water.
If you took in a lot of water, it could be sitting below the oil and will be sucked through the pump and into bearings instead of the oil. You may want to change the oil if you think you've taken in a quantity of water. Spoke |
