Hi all, I'm new on here, I have a 1979 ski nautique with a ford v8 351w
So I have a few problems and I'm not mechanically savvy with engines, but I know the basics, On removing the block drain and exhaust drain there was engine oil present. This would suggest to me that the block is cracked, cylinder head is cracked or the head gasket is away. There are hoses that we need to drain that drains are sheered and are bonded on with sealant and one exhaust manifold plug looks like it has never been off. So can’t get them out easily. What are my options, and what is the best route to take in repairing Help would be appreciated I'm based in scotland Thanks Chris |

Chris, Have you done anything more with your engine? Are you saying oil came out of the exhaust manifold drain when you pulled it or just the engine block drain? I have never seen oil come out of an exhaust manifold drain and actually have to think about how that would be possible. Are you sure that you removed the correct drain plugs?

Chris,
Can you confirm (or not) the presence of water in the engine oil pan? |
