have a look at these pics. looking up from under`bottom end of a nh that sat for at least a year full of water` to the point it ran out of the rt.acc. drive when I winched it on to the trailer. won`t turn as of now but i believe it will loosen up. could have some bad gears in the rt. acc dr`. seal is out for sure. looks worth more digging to me . comments?????
I think it’ll loosen up. Doesn’t look all that bad to me. Water is one thing. Nasty sludge and mud would be another.
Are those waterlines on the crank and block? Drop some bearing caps and see what you have there.
Does the crankshaft have end play? does every rod have side play on the crank? I thank you should be able to hook a line in between the oil pump and filter. Connect it to an oil pump and pressure feed everything before you ever spin the crank. Lube the cam and rollers also.
Cam and rollers...
have`nt even touched a rod yet. don`t know if they will move or not will get into that tomorrow` had to stop for another crisis
The crank pins are probably good because those were not exposed to the air I'm guessing.
all rods are loose and crank shifts like it should so no obvious siezed brgs.
took the t-50 turbo off today` it was toasted seized and whatever else you can think of
