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?

I had an engine that took in water. I even started it before I realized something was off. I drained the oil and it came out cream coffee color. After draining, I put in new oil and a new filter and it was FINE...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

I did tell the guy who bought it the history so he knew going in. |
