New member, 1975 Century Arabian 454 Crusader 750 hours. But..
Previous (1) owner had a family emergency and failed to winterize so...the motor did fire ran great (very brief) but when I introduced water it pretty much all went in the oil pan!
So now I am removing the sludge, I will drain any and all remaining water and re-fill the oil pan with new oil and then revolve the motor with the coil off to try to circulate the oil through. Oh, oil filter as well...
Then...I have to wrench this myself ($) so my plan is to drop the intake manifold and do a survey...I'm hoping for any ideas or suggestions.
I knew about the failure to winterize (9000 feet Colorado) going in but I'd like to keep looking....heads and intake manifolds can be had inexpensively but blocks.....☹
