MVRThere is a chance that all that needs to be done is the injectors pulled and the engine turned over a few times to get the Water out. I know this because I had 6.9 hydraulock after the engine had been shut down and then filled with anti-freeze from a blown intake gasket.
If the motor was actually running, then maybe a bent rod or? Look for a mobile mechanic.
You should be able to get this fixed without loosing your shirt.
One of the issues is that most everyone's mind set is to replace, not many want to repair anything anymore.![]()
I pulled the glow plugs and tried to turn the engine with cheater bar.. no go..
Had it moved to the dealer. He basically did the same thing and recommended a new engine. The damage may have been minimal but he did not want to do it.
