Honda PWC frozen block

[Steve Jeub]

Did not add antifreeze in the fall. Owners manual called for tablespoon of oil each cyl. which pumped out fair amount of water, am I screwed? It's been a very hard freeze.

If the water came out of the spark plug holes , Sounds like you could be .. Run a compression test on all cyls and post results.

Re: Honda PWC frozen block

before assuming anything,, first lets establish that you are doing the flush correctly. engine running before water is turned on,, and water off before shutting off the engine..
Usually if you crack the block from a freeze,, the block leaks outside the engine and not internally. Unless you really cracked a head,, however the head won't usually have water sitting in it,, just the bottom of the water jackets around the cylinders.
