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?

Same experience several times, cleaned and ran them, a few quick oil changes and no problems. I think it depends on the length of time, if it was totally submerged, how dirty the water was, etc, etc, but if you can drain it, replace the fuel and electricals and run it, get it hot enough to evaporate the rest of the water, you might be good. Not much to lose by trying, worst case is that you'll end up tearing it down, which is what you'd be doing anyway.
