good deal right. 400 Bucks? if the crankshaft isn't bent can it be rebuilt?

 

bump?

 

It says it was hydrolocked usually this is bad!!!! Crankshafts dont bend they are made of cast iron they break. What usually happens in a hydrolocked motor is since water doesn't compress like air things break like the crank or a rod and if the rod breaks off the crank it might have gone through the side of the block making that engine useless, you can't even use it as a core if you buy a rebuilt one so worst case is you have to buy a new motor and eat the core cost. also if it was deep enough in water to suck water into the intake and hydrolock then everything else was in water to like the tranny and axles and if the previos owner didn't drain and change all those fluids then there is the possibilty of rust in those parts to. If you do buy it be careful change [COLOR="Red"][B][U]ALL [COLOR="red"][COLOR="Black"][B][U]the fluids and inspect for rust hope that helps
