QuoteIf you remove as much water as you can, and if the water does not affect the spark plugs and the engine actually starts, you'll be OK. Water by itself will not cause damage - to the engine or cats - in fact in the early '90 there used to be a retro-fit water injection kit that injected water into the inlet manifold - it was supposed to help get a more controlled combustion process. The water will clear itself - but again as long as it is not excessive i.e. flooded cylinders etc.

Hi,
 Well two of the cylinders were full of water but after pumping most of it out via the plug hole and the rest by spining the engine over...sprayed WD40 into the cylinders all seems ok I should know tomorrow (if the rain stays away)....thanks for the info.

Cheers Gord.
