I picked up a core engine from a junk yard and while I was doing enough of a teardown so that I could get it out of my truck I put a wrench on the alternator bolt to see if the engine would roll over. To my surprise the engine rolls over. Have any of you had experience with aan type 4 that's been underwater?

Don't let it sit too long. It will freeze up and do damage eventually. Tear it open, how long since its been out of the water?

That will be the million dollar question there was quite a bit of water that came out of the cyl enough that they had to have been almost if not full. there is some evidence of water being in the intake tract , rusty water, so a tear down is in the immediate future for sure. I'll try to post some pictures of the carnage. |
