Re: engine submerged
Depending on how they were flushed it could come up milky for three or more oil changes. The BIG questions; Was it a salt water dunking, and how many hours (yes, "hours", not days) before they were serviced and fired?? If the answers are "salt" and "days"... Just fold, leave the cards on the table, and walk away. --- Jer

Re: engine submerged
big question does it crank and as asked above was it pickled if the answer is yes as stated above oil will be milky a couple more times after that you will need to run it and " steam" off the water because no matter how many times you change it there will still be a little water that will have to be steamed off.....or just rebuild and any electronics that had any power to them are trash...
