How deep was the water ?
Off the top of my head & non exhaustively :-
Don't crank the engine. If there is water in the cylinders, you'll bend a con-rod. If it's been that deep, it will need the heads off to clean everything out and probably a full strip.
For certain you'll need to empty the oil and fill with fresh and change the oil filters.
Could the water have got into the fuel tank ? If so, that will need emptying (the water will be at the bottom) and cleaning out. Then flush the fuel system and change the fuel filter.
Tell us more !
Thanks for the reply. The engine was totally submerged for twenty four hours but have managed to float it today.

Can't be sure, but I think that alzy is agreeing with the majority that the term pikey is as offensive as any other derogatory term. I may be wrong , care to elaborate alzy?

The community living on the river near Avon Valley Country Park, between Salford
& Keynsham, have experienced some thefts lately - a group of 3-4 kids around 16-19
years old have been seen in inflatable dingies on the river on three seperate
occassions:
1) Stealing two white rowing boats belonging to Avon Valley Country Park (marked
no.1 and no.15 at the stern)
2) Stealing paddles/oars from a residents property
3) Stealing a black 16ft Canadian Canoe from a residents property (pyrhana with wooden seats & yoke, with several repairs & new but tatty black gel-coat)
The Lock Keeper Inn at Keynsham (1/2 a mile downstream) have also had problems,
a fisherman was robbed and one bar-staff had a bicycle stolen, though we can't
be sure it's the same group.
If anyone has seen them or knows the whereabouts of the rowing boats or canoe,
please do get in touch - PM or call me zero-seven-81 0 543 858.
Equally - if you see any of these items for sale anywhere, particularly car-boot
sales, please feel free to contact me on zero-seven-81 0 543 858. I can identify the
canoe (it used to be mine) and should be able to spot the rowing boats (white,
quite square in shape, made from fibreglass).
Many thanks
