H20 in oil pan
H20 in oil pan
changed the oil today and had my friend top off the filler while i was getting the tools to adjust my tps when he accidently added water into the oil fill cap. any precautions i should take? Or just change out the oil?
thanks
thanks
Ok....how in the HELL do you pour water down the oil filler neck?
But yes, I would just run some oil back through. Any water left in will boil off pretty quickly....

I don't know if I would have run it until you did quite a few flushes, when water mixes with oil and then gets sloshed around it usually tends to get really frothy and turn into a, well you said it pretty good, milkshake
. I would just keep putting oil in it and letting it drain out, i'm not exactly sure how much this will help since oil and water don't really mix, so I can't see this being a terribly affective way to "wash" the water out. At the same time I can't think of anything else that you could pour in there that would be any better.

i actually only heard rattling noise once. oil pressure seems high under load... seems ;like it can ge4t to 120 if i tried.. and engine is idliong a little uneven. maybe i put the air control vavle too low. actually i forgot what its called (plus screw driver head next to throttle cables.. but anyway. still milkshake. im going to use 10w30 instead of the 20w50 maybe it rinses better?
after i adjusted the idle to about 750-600 i got about 20mmhg in vac then like i revved it hard and it became about 15 so its kinda wierd. im thinking a line popped off when i pulled the throttle cable to rev it.
anyway, oil psi is normal but after it is fully warm ~7-8 min I see the oil pressure rising at a greater rate than normal with less throttle input.
my idle right now is at ~750 but im thinking it was set to low and the ecu is auto correcting it?

600 is definitely too low. for a stock port lightly modded car, 800 is probably appropriate.
sounds like vacuum/compression is fine, but of course your potential issue lies in the oiling system, not the combustion chamber......
