Water in oil
My head gasket blew and I got water not coolant in the engine and oil pan. That was 2 weeks ago 8/16/16. it is getting repaired and there was a little rust on the chain. My mechanic said there might be rust in the bottom end and it might not be good. I would like some opinions of experience guys who have dealt with this kind of thing. Thank you

I would take a chance with it. If it just happened in the past few weeks, I doubt it did much damage as long as you did not keep driving it. Was it from the blown head gasket or did the Timing Chain wear a hole in the Timing Chain Cover?

If the guide is broken, there is a good chance it rubbed the cover. Look real close at the bottom right/ drivers side of the cover. If it rubbed to long, it can put a hole in the cover and there is a water jacket where the chain can rub a hole into it. If the chain just scarred the cover and did not get into the water jacket, I have reused some covers. If there is a hole into the jacket or it is a real deep scar, just replace the cover. I have seen where someone in the past tried to fix the cover with some JB Weld material. A new cover cost about $50.

I put head gasket fix in and got 2500 miles on it and then water in the oil so I thought I would try the solution again and it blew out the head gasket. I guess it was time
