Re: submerged up to the plugs
Similar story to Terry's. In the mid 80's I bought a 1929 Chevy chassis that was converted to a small tractor by using a Model TT worm drive and wheels. The engine had some white stuff all over it, so I asked if it sat next to a cement plant. The owner said the swamp flooded and the motor sat underwater for several months. When I got it home I pulled the drain plug and drained out about 5 gallons of water, then some black oil. When I pulled the pan everything inside was shiney clean, protected by the old thick black oil. I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
