[holeman]

Hi Ricey have tried this morning and keeps stalling i will have to c if one of my brothers friends can take out the plugs and i will try what u have said.
Also what is the damage water can cause what would i need 2 do if insurance doesnt come out for ages thx again guys
Iam thinking there was a fair amount of water due to it being sitting in my otr and filter was damp

usually water in the cylinders pops the head gaskets.... BUT the worst case ive seen of water intake was a broken crank, but that was from someone taking their 4wd swimming in a creek

Sounds expensive Boonz incase what approx would b the price need my car and rang insurance 2day and said there will try and get out within 3 weeks :-(
Hence y i might fix it

When we had the floods here in Perth we saw a few cars come in where the engines were locked up tight, wouldnt turn over even with the plugs removed. Worst case you can bend conrods etc because the piston cant compress the water in the cylinder.

If yours is turning over ok you may be lucky.

When I put my Gemini in the river it started just fine after being towed out by a nice man in an F250 and never skipped a beat afterwards
