Good day.
Please, do you have an explanation why there is rust in the cyl 3 intake? Its a Barr GM 3.0 l engine, 3 years old owned by me alone and properly serviced before winter (Finland) and never overheated either. Block looks brandnew, no rust or crack (as those you see on Internet)
Problems started one week ago when engine was either hydrolocked or gasoline leaked into intake? Result was a broken starter (replaced now) . Engine has run maybe approx 100 hour. Manifold and headbolts was tightened one more time under engine run in period.
is it possible (the only solution?) that seawater leaking at the riser into intake channel? Manifold looks brand new too except the rust in one of the intakes.
Compression test gives approx 160 psi for all 4 cylinders.
(I open a new topic about broken bolt for manifold...pinbolt nr 5)
I really appreciate the help I can get.
