So last night i pulled the drain plug on my transmission to find it half full of water and half transmission fluid. Not to happy bout that at all!! Pulled the transmission from the block to find a very very rusted clutch and flywheel YAY!! Hooked up the engine stand pulled the drain plug on the oil pan expecting it to be full of water thinking that the motor was pulled out of a pond or some crap but no no water hmm. So i pulled the coil packs to find one full of water. Then i pulled the valve cover off hmm nice lil mixter of oil and water NICE!!! Well looks like i paid $2270 for an alum block. Oh yeah i got this from http://www.jazzproparts.com SO DONT BUY FROM THERE!!!!!

Hope it was just a mistake and they handle it well.transmission may of been an idiot but water in the engine come on something ain't right.Hmm looking at their site the vg30dett looks tempting.I'll wait to see how they handle your issue 1st though.

Ok well i talked to them today. Guys said it was probaly cuz they presure washed it. He said they pluged intake lines and all that. So im sure that water got in trhough the injectors that were pulled out of the fuel rail. The transmission got water through the part where the driveline hooks up. So i dumped bunch of transmission fluid in and a bunch of oil in to keep it soaked with oils until i can actually run the motor. I then tonight decided to pull the intake mani off to see how bad off it was. Well in the bottom half of da mani it was full of brown milky sludge.....???? Why would that be? how would oil get in der?

or buy from someone who more carefully picks their engines. My engine from Heavy Throttle was pretty clean.
