Wow, I was just thinking if you just pressure washed off all that oil it would look fine so it should start right up. ![Very Happy :-D :-D](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I had a similar scare with my Pinz, It seemed to have locked up the engine after a very rough, water logged night trail ride. It died in a lake. No it wasn't hydro-locked, not that deep and I have a snorkel, I also checked by pulling spark plugs. Drug it out with my buddy's mog and starter wouldn't turn it over. He tried to pull start it with lockers on and in 4 wheel drive. All 4 wheels dragged nice ruts. Engine was very unhappy. I got it back home, put a breaker bar on it the next day and it started turning over. Oil was clean and good. After a quick check over I started it right up. No idea to this day what was wrong but over 3 years later the truck is running strong, good compression, and idles almost as good as if it had fuel injection.![Twisted Evil :twisted: :twisted:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)
Hopefully all you're facing is a blown head gasket or something relatively easy and inexpensive but diesels are beyond me. I own a poor man's diesel (Pinz Joke), just give me air fuel and spark.![Very Happy :-D :-D](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
