Long story short blew engine with water
We are in the top of WA went through a water crossing and stuck the nose in deep water put a rod through the block. locked the the engine solid. We are 5,000k from home so plan to pull engine down remove broken rod and piston, block oil port in crank etc. then drive it home, not sure if it will be a 4 or 5 cylinder till we get it apart. But ha it's all a new experience.

Re: Long story short blew engine with water
You may have to block the inlet and the exhaust ports with some thing between the manifold and the port, to prevent the oil from blowing out.

Re: Long story short blew engine with water
I think we may pull the hydraulic lifters and plug the oil holes in the head leaving the valves in place to keep the cylinder closed.
Please offer any suggestions you have it will be appricated

Re: Long story short blew engine with water
Tony,
May the EG33 Gods smile down upon you! Man vs Wild, indeed!! Will you still need to seal up the ventilated block to keep oil from the other mains from migrating out? Cheers Bill

Re: Long story short blew engine with water
Ouch!
Where exactly in WA? Would it be easier for one of us with a spare block to freight it out to you?
