It's a better idea than just letting it sit and rust into the ground.
If it has water in it, take all of the sparkplugs out & spin it several times. Replace the plugs & hope it starts. If it fires okay, run it to make sure the battery is charged, then change the oil & the oil filter.
You are hoping you don't need a new engine after it hydro locked on you. To get the water out before you bent a few connecting rods is to pull the sparkplugs and spin the engine over with the starter a few times to force the water out through the sparkplug holes. If you do manage to get the engine started as it runs a few seconds before an loud explosion is heard and notice pieces of the connecting rods and a fist sized hole in the engine block you are indeed ready for a new engine.
- Typical lib thinking? Ford had no idea when it happened, had no idea how she got there, no idea how she left, clueless who was there? And despite that every person she listed as a witness made a statement in a sense said Ford was wrong… The lib brain… Get even at Trump…> yep - Kavanaugh did it.

- 2012 Ford Focus Engine Coolant Flush? I had topped off my Focus's engine coolant because it was below the min line, and after a little reading, I found that mixing universal with my dexcool wasn't a good idea. One mechanic said it'll be okay, but I decided to get it flushed. After a rather quick service it was done but I believe he just drained the radiator, and refilled it with dexcool. My question is, was that all I needed or did it need to be more extensive to get rid of the risk of my engine seizing up?
- I have a ford f150 5.4 2005 and engine went out. Cost to repair idea? Photos are included? So i was told by a mechanic that my 2nd pistion broke and i needed a whole engine swap. I pulled the engine out and found just what you see broken. No other metals were found down in the oil pan. I think there's maybe a piece of rod in the piston area. Any idea what it may cost to repair? If it helps i live in central california
