Re: Water in Oil Pan - urgently need advice Posted by ELaw [Email] (#699) [Profile/Gallery] (more from ELaw) on Mon, 19 Oct 2015 09:28:01 In Reply to: Water in Oil Pan - urgently need advice, frankensaab, Mon, 19 Oct 2015 06:53:09 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The place I'd look most closely for rust would be the bottom of the cylinder bores.
Most lubricated surfaces (like where main & rod bearings meet the crank) should still have some oil on them and be okay. But the cylinder walls typically have very little oil and nothing to keep it there so they're vulnerable to corrosion. Since part of it was presumably immersed, I'd also check the oil pickup tube closely.
This also assumes the engine has not rotated even the smallest amount with the water in there. If it has, water might have been drawn into the oil pump and other parts of the system and you could have a nightmare on your hands. In that case I'd probably be thinking about replacing the motor.
