well long story short, after some wicked snow wheeling I went a little too far out onto the ice and ended up breaking through. The entire front end of my 96 was submerged under icy water for about 2 hours. Needless to say it was quite the extraction to get it out. Got it back to the driveway and drained the block - there was ALOT of water. Tried turning it over but she was locked up. Temps about -10 deg C overnight. Next morning went out to assess the damage. Pulled the plugs and electrodes on 2 of the 6 were bent. Luckily it warmed up a bit yesterday and I was able to drain the tranny and t-case.
Need to know what I should do next....here is what I've done so far:
-drained block, have replaced oil and filter
-pulled plugs
-drained some sludge out of front diff
-drained tranny and t-case
-sucked about half a litre of water out of intake manifold
I can turn her over by hand and I think I have pushed all the water and ice out of the cylinders. I shot a bit of ATF down the spark plug holes to lube things up a bit.
Tried turning the key but starter motor is just spinning???
Any thoughts on what to do next? This isn't my daily driver so I'm not in a huge rush to get her back on the road, but I do realize time is of the essence here.
Thanks in advance!
