If it sucked in water its the long one that goes into the bumper ootherwise you would have to have been in water 2 feet deep. Hope all works out but I have seen thisscenario before with cars in the shop and rods sticking through the oil pan, good luck

 

well thanks for the advice but i dropped the car off at LHT and theyre going to be taking care of the repairs for me...will post updates though

 

GOOD NEWS ! ! ! ! LHT DID SOME WORK AND GOT MY CAR TO RUN ! ! ! ! NO ENGINE REPLACMENT NEEDED....NO INSURANCE CLAIM...NO MORE HEADACHES LOL...im really happy with lht i think you guys are awsome and i really do appreciate the work and thank you guys for fixing the S....thanks again to jon and paul from LHT (would definitly recomend them to anyone looking for a great shop in the tampa area)...thanks J for recommending them to me...and thanks for everyone reading lol...glad to have my S back on the road...

 

Ive heard good stuff from LHT and S&R...i guess we are lucky around here with really good and honest shops! Thats really hard to come by and to have 2 in 1 city ..unheard of..at least to me...

 

What was the problem/ what did they do?

 

well it did suck up water but not a lot...they pulled the plugs and sprayed wd40 down all 4 cylinders and cranked it to vent it out and replaced the plugs and it started up...no problems so far

 

Very nice!!
Congratulations on a near miss.

My wife drives my S as a daily now, but I told her; DO NOT DRIVE IN ST. PETE WHEN IT RAINS....PERIOD!!

As Rob said, it's just not worth a new engine.

 

I'd get rid of the CAI just to get rid of the risk all together. K&N FTW

 

We put a stock air box on before it left the shop.

 

yeah i dont even want to hear about a CAI on/near my car ever again lol...im sticking with something with the filter in the engine bay definitly or stock
