motor swap

Post by aarnwts »

I put a new motor in my bronco II I got a lil water in the intake when washing down the new motor I puled the spaerk plugs and turned the motor over a bunch of times its been sitting for a week or so with no plugs and every so often I turn the motor over. Did I ruin the new motor doing this? Is it worth throwin it in there?

What Dave said!!
Spray a little oil in the cylinders and just keep turning the engine every once in a while and you will be just fine.

squirted out the plu holes
then th rest drained to the bottom Since I put in a new oil pan I let it sit open for a couple days
Now I know plug all holes before you spray with water and engine degreaser
I did put in all new freeze plugs
Painted the motor and parts looks real nice and clean
painted the firewall all black again
Its lookin real nice
Like a brand new motor
Should have pics up soon!
Still lookin for that solid axle in the front real hard to find!!
