today i got around to taking my old block apart...thought everyone would be interested to see what water can do to a motor...

 

[GSRCRXsi]

damn!! how exactly did you getg water in there? and how much got in?

 

[eyesonlybob]

i never knew water could do that much damage. i certainly didnt think water could put a hole in the block. or break rods.

 

[chet]

i drove through a big puddle and i'd say 4 cups worth was sitting on top of the pistons when i first looked down onto the pistons...

overall though...its impossible to tell...although the smallest amount of water can still bend rods...i just happened to ingest more than the average...

 

[GSRCRXsi]

were you using a filter? i didnt think that moch water could get in just from a puddle

 

[posol]

ice man + puddle = bad

yes, water does not compress as well as air

it doesnt, its actually the most condensed form, since when you freeze it, water becomes a crystal and expands again.

fluid will compress but only onder extreme pressure, and then only slightly...

 

[chet]

well, for practical purposes water doesn't compress.

i don't care about something scientists can accomplish in a lab...i'm concerned about the effect water has on a motor...

I'll post pics of my dead piston later tonight... it's out of the block and it's a lot worse than I thought. Let's have a "kablooie engine" day.

hahaha

 

[paragus]

ty chet!! sick pics.. maybe ill force water into my d motor before the swap just for fun, perhaps a hose right up the intake

 

[asmallsol]

Do it. Also run some of the liquid nitro methanol or what ever that stuff is. Make 4 little circles impression in your hood.
