I was car washing my engine (dum,, dum) and notice I had gotten water in the engine cylinder via spark plugs. How do I get the water out without using fancy suction devises?? mcv57@comcast.net

 

u didnt have ur sparkplug wires out while washing it did you?

thaaaats a nono

id say just let it sit for a while....or take the distrib off, and turn it over a couple times

 

Removes all the plugs and crank the motor. Then just let it dry.

 

How about change the oil.

 

let me verify how dumb you are, so you were spraying water on your engine with the spark plugs and wires out of the engine

real smart

spray WD40 down the cylinders

Do it that way, just like old faithful....

WD40 won't do squat if the cylinders have more than a thin film of water.

If the plugs were still in the head, use some compressed air to blow the water out, or just let it sit and it'll be fine.

 

Changing the oil wouldn't work?

no

 

Change the oil also, like what ek forever said.

 

ya, the easiest way is to take the plugs out and crank the motor over a few times to shoot the water out. Then let it sit over night with the plugs still out, and then try to start it again in the morning, or later in the day, and that should work. same thing happened to me when I had my cold water intake.

if it hasent fell into the block roll up a paper towel stick it down there, let it soak up the water then take it out.

Good point, if the plugs are still in, then do that.

If that's true, then once you soak up what's collected at the plugs. Anything beyond that will just be minute amounts of water.

 

yea, but i went thru about 12 sheets cause one bad plug wire seal.....and i used Bounty Paper Towels!
