Coolant In Cylinders Question

[Rawze]

yeah.. someone f#ucked up real bad by taking it apart like that without even troubleshooting what happened first.

Locked up engine ...
** removing the drive belts and trying to turn the engne by hand to see if it frees up.. or is actually stuck. Sometimes a locked-up engine is the alternator or other component. Can also be a tranny issue.

Suspicion of Hydra-locked =

** ensuring there is no coolant getting into the intake ... pressurizing coolant system and checking turbo, egr cooler, air compressor, etc.

** after that ... pulling a vacuum on the coolant system to prevent possible further intrusion, then removing the injectors to find out what cylinder(s) is/are full of coolant.

=======================

The oopsie is already done at this point, so the next questions are...

* What s the current liner height?. - if it is less than 0.015".. then counter-bore it and set it to 0.015".


-== Assume the head is bad (even if it is not), and replace it with a brand new one OEM-only, ... otherwise, a repeat of history has a very high chance.

-== Replacing the connecting rod for the cylinder that it hydra-locked on, so that the engine does not end up out of balance due to a very slightly, hard to tell, bent rod.

-== and then inframing the engine this time around, as specified in this post.. and nothing less...
