ok sorry about that - do you now mean the exhause manifold?????

very confused

Got it figured out. Getting all the little minor things wrong with it and should be able to take it out in a few weeks. Just have the seats left, and a little cleaning up.
thanks for replying though. This is not like your average forum... Takes days / weeks to get a response. Gotta be something better out there for information.

well i hat to see somebody with no replies and i will endeavour to help - but do i understand you correctly - there was water in the engine? if so - i would drain it asap then stick some wd40 in there to displace the rest of the water from various places - the i would try and start her up (bear in mind at this point i am not technically minded to a mechanics extent) but my brain says get the wtare out and start her up - if it was salt water you will notice the oil may be a whiteish colour on the dipstck - this will tell you if the motor was completely submersed - but not necessarily if the other motor is ok - does it start?

Yes you did misunderstand me lol. There is not water in the motor. There is water in the exhaust ports.

nobody?
