Started to take apart the engine in 2004 S430,
thought, i'd show you guys some pics









...

 

i am expecting you got some bent connecting rods inside.

 

why u think so???

 

because you don't think so.

 

i'll take it apart and see

 

only the owner knows if the engine was running when it gets on the flood. we need that critical information.

if it does:

conrod could be bent.
conrod broken
conrod broken and scratch cylinder wall
conrod broken and damage crankcase cylinder

keep your fingers crossed and hope for the least $$$$$ expenses.

if the engine wasn't running when the car decides for a dip... then all you need is an overhauling gasket and cleaning. it will be as good as new.
