Water flowing out of the block when I removed the spark plug
How bad is this going to be?
I got back a few weeks ago from a week long camping/hunting trip over in LA for the closing weekend and ran the boat hard. I started having some issue with the motor getting a spark while I was over there, but it eventually turned over while I was there.
I was going to go snipe hunting this AM, and last night I went to turn it over and a half crank and nothing. The battery was fine. I pulled the plugs today, and when I pulled the right plug, water literally came pouring out of the block. I replaced both plugs, oil filter and changed the oil. I cranked it up after, and it did start just fine, but there is a fairly loud knocking- it sounds like coming from that right head, but it’s hard to tell.
How bad do you guys think this will be? The water was brackish where I was hunting, but it rained the whole drive home- so who knows how long the water has been in there. First time I’ve come across this one. I am assuming a gasket failed and it is not a cracked block!
