water in cylinder

I bought a z32tt with a locked up engine & the owner supplied another engine complete with all gear on it.I pulled the locked up engine down & found a bent rod on the left back cylinder from water in the pot.I put the new engine in complete with turbos on,kicked it in & it ran like on 4 or 5 cylinders & after 1 drive slowly round the yard it got a bad knock & tight spot on start & guess what ?water in the left exhaust.Its gotta be the same problem external but I no bugger all about it .Anybody ever heard of this cause it kills engines quick.

 

jesus. that sounds serious indeed. So the 2nd motor u have installed is now stuffed too?

 

Hope you cleaned out all the intake pipes and intercoolers before start up other wise there could have been water still in them.

 

whatever Ross said

damn you need to look at all this stuff b4 you put a new motor in it ......

 

Water or fuel? Did you use the same injectors? I bent a rod from one of the O rings leaking fuel into the cylinder.

 

could be

it still runs but doesn't sound good & not going to start it again.

 

al the pipes have been off & the car sat for 2 years after losing the first engine.will have a serious look around the manifold tomorrow

 

water

yeah ,it still had water in the cylinder of the first motor after taking the head off.gotta keep looking.

 

You haven't attached the washer bottle or overflow tank to a vacuum source by any chance? That would suck! No punn intended

 

yeah tom's suggestion sounds like it's on the money

 

yeah i'll check it out when i get at it.

 

aren't there some coolant lines that run to the TB's etc
hope you didn't connect one of them to a vac line? etc
