Hi Fellas,
Went to meet some of my fellow SC owners on Friday, and it was great to finally meet some people and make some friends in this state!
Unfortunately, I drove my car thru some water that was DEEPER than I had judged...
Long story short, the motor is so locked now, it won't budge at the crank by wrench, (WITH ALL THE SPARK PLUGS OUT AND TRANNY IN NEUTRAL/CLUTCH IN) and the starter does not engage the flywheel to try turning-it that way, just grinds at it....
I only paid $500 for her, and drove it six weeks without any problems, so I won't be crying in my beer here.
The motor has over 175K on it, and I am posting here to find-out if we are missing something simple here regarding not being able to turn the motor by hand.
This is directed at some of you older + experienced gents, but anybody with a hydrated-motor past would be helpful too!
Thanks again you WA/PTLD guys for giving me so much help thus far!
