just got this motor, pulled the plugs and all four are soaked. i don't smell fuel, but it does'nt smell like coolant ether. i haven't dug too deep into this motor yet, but when i pulled the plugs, i feared the worst. i also pulled the valve cover, and it looks brand new. i bought the motor as a complete swap from hmotors, and they cut all the hoses. also the motor is clean as expletive, so i'm wondering if they steam cleaned it, if water/ cleaning solution may have gotton into the heater hose and coolant hose openings. i'm speculating, but if any one has a similar story, or advice i'd like to hear them. thanks

 

Take he plugs out, and turn over the engine to try and get if any water out. Bump for this guy though

 

i would but the motors not in the car yet. i plan on doing a leakdown test tomorrow.

 

O, I figured you meant by not smelling fuel you had actually ran it. You can still turn the crank and do the same thing with it.
