That can't be good.....

So, I pulled the drain plug on my Hemi today. I got half a gallon of water out of it before the oil I'm betting the block is cracked inside. I know it threw a rod once, but it was sleeved and the chip was welded shut. It looked like a quality weld too.

I hope my oil pump isn't all rusty...

What a bummer keep us tuned in.

 

I've had condensation do the same thing? Where have you kept it?

 

Water? not Antifreeze?
If it's clean water and not mixed with the oil looking like a chocolate shake? and it was parked outside it could be rain getting in somewhere or vandalism...garden hose prank.

 

i dont understand how the water would come out first wouldnt the water settle to the top of the oil? Not sure, hope everything turns out well for you! nate

Water is heavier...

 

Oil is lighter than water.

 

oh ok. Thanks Nate

 

Oil's not lighter, it's less dense than water, that's why it floats. Sorry, I'm a scientist.

 

It's not condensation. to much water. I never ran it, so it never has antifreeze in it. I did pull the block drains before I stored it, and it was never outside when it was below freezing.

Just water, then water mixed with oil, then cream cheeze looking goo.

Check your timing cover seal! It it's bad or you have a leaking bolt in the front it'll leak right into the pan!! Experience talking...

The exact same thing came out of my 283 that had been under a shut hood for years. The water was CRYSTAL clear. The inside of the block (all the machined surfaces) and rotating****embly were totally rust-free too.

I found it very strange.
