[Engine] flood damage

[polar]

If it starts okay it will be down on power and smoke a bit but i have seen 1.9s run for years like this. Sometimes you have to put the glow plugs on twice to start them but one they have started they will run all day if the conrods are not too bent.

If the rods are very bent then you will get away with just new rods - the 1.9 is one tough engine.

Thanks for the quick reply buddy. I pulled the sump and got a gander up the cylinders. One rod well mangled and another bent. So I'm thinking the piston may also be deformed.
Do you know anywhere I could get a cheap set of rods and maybe standard size pistons Polar . I'd love to get her goin again.

I think Geoff's right if the rods are that bent better to get a replacement short engine or total engine. You are going to struggle to find good replacement parts unless you get new at a wallet breaking cost.
