2008 Toyota Camry (engine removal)

[@JF-sv7qo]

My wifes Toyota avalon got flooded and I cannot crank manually the engine its hydralocked or; seized. After vacuming out all the water with a shop vack out the spark plug ports the crank began to rotate. Then my buddy crank started. Water burped out the intak ports. The the engine siezed again. I got lube settin in on the pistons through the spark plug ports. If saturdat results the engine still being sieved I need to swap the engine.

If i were you i would remove all the spark plugs and then turn the crank pulley manually if it doesn't move... change the engine.

Is there a way to leave the AC system undisturbed and still pull the motor? I did that on another car of mine.

I don't think you can leave the AC on this one
