Water in Engine
Important Information
IMPORTANT: First determine location of water in
engine. This information can be of great help
when trying to determine where the water came
from and how it got into the engine. The three
most common problems are “water on top of pis-
tons, water in crankcase oil, water in crankcase
oil and on top of pistons.”
The first step, after locating water, is to remove all
the water from the engine by removing all spark
plugs and pumping cylinders out by cranking en-
gine over. Next change oil and filter. Now, start en-
gine and see if problem can be duplicated. If prob-
lem can be duplicated, there more than likely is a
mechanical problem. If the problem cannot be du-
plicated, the problem is either an operator error or a
problem that exists only under certain environmen-
tal conditions.
If water is contained to cylinder(s) only, it is usually
entering through the intake system, exhaust sys-
tem, or head gasket.
If the water is contained to crankcase only, it is usu-
ally caused by a cracked or porous block, a flooded
bilge, or condensation.
If the water is located in both the cylinder(s) and
the crankcase, it is usually caused by water in the
cylinders getting past the rings and valves, or com-
plete submersion.
Checking for rust in the intake manifold or exhaust
manifolds is a good idea. Rust in these areas will
give clues if the water entered these areas.
If water is contained to cylinder(s) only, it is usually
entering through the intake system, exhaust sys-
tem, or head gasket.
Water In Crankcase
Cause
Special Information
1. Water in boat bilge
1. Boat has been submerged or bilge water was
high enough to run in through dipstick tube
2. Water seeping past piston rings or valves
2. Refer to “Water in Engine” (“On Top of Pistons”)
3. Engine running cold
3. Defective thermostat, missing thermostat; pro-
longed idling in cold water
4. Intake manifold leaking near a water passage
5. Cracked or porous casting
5. Check cylinder head, cylinder block, and intake
manifold
