I had given up on this motor but something told me to take one last look at this before I completely washed my hands clean. I was thinking the head gasket was shot because of the water getting into the cylinders. Well it's not the head gasket. How I figured this out? I opened the cap and no signs of oil at all. Something told me to open the Intake (brand new 92mm Fast intake with less than 500 miles on it). My mechanic gave it one last spin with no plugs in it and the motor turned!!!! But **** did it cough out water like no tomorrow! I pulled the intake off and what do you know? THE ******* WATERS GOING DIRECTLY INTO THE MOTOR FROM THE INTAKE! I'm shocked here because I can't figure out how this can happen!!! I drained the oil and nothing but water from the pan! Btw, when I tilted the intake that ****** looks like someone held a hose to it! Waters coming out...water water water! So now I'm confused as to what my next step should be. I'm gonna do a couple of oil changes to get this water out. But I don't understand man this sucks ***!

was the car stored outside? and has it rained at all since its been sitting? ive read about water somehow (no one seems to know) getting into the intake during a heavy rain. atleast it didnt eat itself upon startup with the plugs in like another guy on here!

lets see THAT much water going through a close butterfly. On an engine that has no water channel through the intake and a sealed valley. Been tapping the neighbours wife lately?

hahah! I needed that laugh. But I don't know. I mean the bolts for the intake were sorta loose. I gave it one simple turn and it opened.

still mate i cant see enough water like youve mentioned getting in like that. I tend to just smear a bit of rubber grease around the intake ports when i put the intakes on. It lets the seal slide easy during installation and shows up any air leaks when it pushes the grease out.
