Soo I got a spare engine today, D8A block, T2 and Bosch. Started removing all the loom, pipes and crap that isn't needed on the 205. Then moved onto the inlet manifold, and as I loosened the bolts water started pissing out, manifold was full. So whipped it off and tipped it up side down (will be leaving it like that overnight to drain it all) as it has entered 2 of the bores by the looks. The inlet valves are covered in crap too (non EGR).
I need to rip the head off and check inside but will this generally speaking mean the engine's scrap? The water looks like it's been there awhile.
Should I contact the seller?
I do have a spare head and some HDI rods so I may just built then onto the block with the original pistons if they're not too f*cked.
