Well yes, unless there’s a different way, I’m open for suggestions, thx.Are you sure you want to hook up to water pressure?
I will check dipstick, hoping crack will be visible but doubtful. TgxI would want to take a sample from the oil pan drain. If the engine hasn't been run since it froze it will only show on the stick as a high level. Hopefully the discounted price included a repower with those manifolds if raw water cooled.
I will look for that. He said water showed up after running it once couple years ago. Even if motor is shot, the I/o should be worth something? That and the dual axle trailer is worth $500, right ? ThxDoes it have a oil pan full of water?

The trailer is worth more, at least $1000 if all is functional.I will look for that. He said water showed up after running it once couple years ago. Even if motor is shot, the I/o should be worth something? That and the dual axle trailer is worth $500, right ? Thx
Yes, I figured dual axle is quite good, even if motor is shot, but he said it runs great. The I/O is worth something too . ThxThe trailer is worth more, at least $1000 if all is functional.
Don’t think so, checking soon. Still trying to find a truck to bring it home, 4000 pounds !!Does it have a oil pan full of water?
