depending on how deep you were in don't forget about the hydraulic res..rear end and trans oils
Air filter, or not?
If it was running without a filter, the first cyl that sucked in a load of water, probably has a bent rod.
If it has a filter, it probably smothered itself before it was able to suck any water in.[/QUOTE
I was running with the air filter in. Am I right in assuming that if I can crank it by hand smoothly I might be alright with regard to bent rods ?
It will probably run, but might have a knock from that one cyl.
I actually did this late last fall in Michigan so the water was cold but not freezing. I'd say probably around 45 degrees. Sounds like most of you guys are pretty mechanically savvy so when people say to crank the engine manually I'm not aware of what exactly to do. What's the procedure? At least the fan mystery is solved.
