Greetings Nico,
Long story short, I built a KA motor top to bottom with the intention of forced induction, and then the machine shop I had the motor at experienced a flood and everything inside was under water Including the motor I had them build for me.
I called the shop after the flood to make sure that they had got to work on my motor since it had been submerged for about a day and a half. I was told that "anything that had been damaged had been fixed in anything involved in the flood" THIS WAS MORE THAN A YEAR AGO ALMOST 2YRS.
I have hit many many speed bumps in the process of this project that have set me far behind with my progress and since my girlfriends grandfather owns the shop he let me have my motor sit there until I was ready to take it and drop it in myself when I found a garage i could finally do it at.
Today I head down to the shop to pick this motor up since I recently found a place to finally finish up this project and when I get to the shop I find out that the motor was never cleaned out during the flood. I was then told after this discovery that they will take the whole thing apart and clean it out for me.
This is where my question to you guys comes in to play. IS THIS MOTOR ABLE TO BE FIXED AND USED? he shrugged it off as if the water damage were no big deal and it was totally fixable but i dont believe its quite so simple as cleaning it out. What am i to expect them to find once they take this motor apart?
i am expecting that nearly all of the internals are going to need to be replaced, am i right? Keep in mind this Motor at the time of the flood was fully assembled and ready to be dropped in.
