Hi Gang,
I had some bad luck this weekend and looking for some advise.
The "J" hose on the water pump split (454Motor) and auto bilge pump shorted or never came on.
Water to the valve covers and still running, nursed it to the ramp and trailered it.
Drained well...... now the work begins !!!
I'm pulling the starter and alternator, see if they can be serviced.
Big concern is water in the crankcase, yes pulled the dipstick, and it's ugly.
Normally I use a pump thru the dipstick tube to change oil, is this good enough???
Is there a bottom drain plug??
Also will service Hydraulics for trim tabs and outdrive lift.
I'm sure I will have electrical nightmares for some time.
What items am I missing for service??
Would it be wise to pull spark plugs and check for water??
Looking for your suggestions and tips
Thank you,
