How to Confirm Water in the Engine?
1 Answers
Engine water inspection methods are as follows: 1. Check the engine oil: The simplest way to confirm water in the engine is to check if the color of the engine oil is abnormal. If the oil turns milky white, it indicates water in the fuel tank or engine. 2. Check each pipe for water: Inspect the air filter and the lower housing of the air filter for obvious signs of water ingress, and check the intake pipe and intake manifold for clear traces of water. 3. Check the spark plugs: Remove the spark plugs of each cylinder and check if they are wet. If wet, it indicates signs of water in the engine. 4. Check the engine cylinder walls for carbon deposits: When the engine is working normally, the position of each piston reaching the top dead center is the same, and the top dead center position on the cylinder wall is clear; when water enters the engine, because water is difficult to compress, the piston cannot reach the original top dead center position, the piston stroke becomes shorter, and the top dead center position will have a noticeable downward shift.
