Check it out. That's a 5 gallon bucket. It was EMPTY when I started. Oil pan holds 8 quarts. That's 2 gallons. The rest was WATER!! I'm guessing that when I get this thing apart, it aint gonna be perty!!!!

Jon, if there was that much water in there, chances are there wasn't much to save. Has to be an issue with the block if there was nearly 2 gallons of water in my motor from only a few minutes or run time.

Rods are most likely seized on the wristpins also. Don't ask me how I know.
