Water in the cylinders? Now what?

[Bass-by-you]

'84 898/2bbl.......I just changed the plugs..........every plug had water on it. Where do I start?

Re: Water in the cylinders? Now what?

Spin the engine with the plugs out to get the water out.

Put some fogging oil in the cylinders.

Run a compression test

I would check the intake manifold for cracks

That would be a start
