water in engine

[scottdavison04]

i got some serious water in the engine i looked at the dip stick and it is white the i looked in where you put the oil at and it looks like white gel. is there anyway to flush it out or any kind of additives to put in it?

Re: water in engine

just drain the oil & water out and refill with fresh oil and new filter. Run engine up to operating temp, hotter the better, to burn off all the remaining water and moisture in the crankcase. Then change oil again, until there's no more milkshake.<br />Hopefully you know why you have water in the oil as bad as you do, and that problem is fixed?

1 can Berrymans additive plus fresh oil, run until up to temperature, drain and refill using fresh filter. Does a great job of getting rid of the "shake".<br /><br />But your waisting your time and $$ like Ron said unless you find and eliminate the source of the water.

hopefully you didn't have water in the block that froze over the winter... cracking the block. Normally you don't get water in the oil like you describe from not running the boat. Best of luck.

Try starting with a new posting. You'll get a better response.

Re: water in engine

Add more fluid and bleed the cylinders. If the motor is running it may have air in the system. <br />As for the engine, if water condenses in the engine from sitting, it will only be enough to form a slight ring around the filler cap. Unless you have some gaskets that dried up from sitting, the time spent in storage shouldn't hurt it or cause water entry. Did it get cold enough to freeze?
