So sorry the Dart is locked up. Bought a 1986 Mustang early 1990's that had ingested water and would not turn over. Pulled the engine apart and found one badly bent rod. Nothing else wrong so I honed cylinders, valve job, new rings and bearings, and replaced that rod. Drove it many years, sold it to my brother and he drove it many years. Well over 200k when parked. Now my son has it and is gonna get her going again.

[@mikehileman7672]

Water does not compress , it just bends things

[@johnbelwell2461]

DON'T CRANK THE ENGINE PERIOD! Remove the oil pan to check the actual condition of the crankshaft and bearings. Not to say you should take of the head aswell. Don't be afraid to open the engine! You do know it's a matter of a couple of hours to screw it back together but we always avoid doing it! Even if you manage ti turn the engine you should be aware of the condition of the cylinder walls and pretty much everything, otherwise this is so pointless! For example it might need a little honing which might clean a rusted cylinder which can otherwise get destroyed if the engine ever run. The crank will also get so destroyed if it cranks with seized bearings no matter how much mystery oil you put. It sure as heck is a nice engine but to fix this you need to disassemble it completely.

[@donaldhaverstick752]

I bought a 2005 mini that wouldn,t turn over . i took off the fan belts and found a locked up alternator .left the belt off and it fired up first time

[@ibrahimkhan-od7ff]

I remember watching this so long ago this is actually how I found your channel I think this was my first ever video of yours I watched

This its the kind of video that i like it!!! Thumbs up randy... you are back on track!! welcome

[@kornpop4887]

Congrats of the new shop! Best wishes for continued business growth and subscriber interest. Hope you, Wierd Beard, and Tim become great success in this endeavor. You guys understand that lots of people want and need reasonably priced cars.

[@lancehigdon8683]

Yes

[@rickb8808]

Marvel's mystery oil is good stuff. Harbor freight runs a sale on a decent bore scope super cheap you might want to look into. I'd pull the carpets and check wiring before spending much. Make sure everything electrical works.

Randy, good to see you wrenching again. We're here for 'ya. We'll collectively pray that the engine is savable. I think the car gods may look down upon you kindly. Good luck and thanks.

2003-04 Mitsubishi Outlander. That 2.4 ain't bad. Can't wait to see what that one's all about.

[@markwhorton2416]

All darts have fiat engines. The 2.4 dodge/Mitsubishi engines are long gone.

Yeah, I had a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse with the 2.4 in it. The car ran perfect and didn't use or leak any oil. Great car!

Never ever try to crank a possible water in the engine motor until the plugs are removed, it will bend a rod...….never try to crank until the plugs are out....ever.

[@davidw.9321]

@@_-Montana-_ LMFAO

[@JJSmith1100]

I don't think a starter is strong enough to bend rods, but if it starts and sucks water in from the manifold or somewhere it can be bad. That said you dont want to run an engine with water in the sump, it will just make it so much harder to get all the water out.

[@marqwezesony]

I love your channel man. I really love how you address all these hating ass people, you know what you’re doing. People have so much to say when you’re the one making the damn content. If they don’t like, they can unsubscribe. Keep up the work man! 🙌🏾

[@VOLKZZORN]

Randy here in Germany we take WD 40 rust remover with a little brake fluid only about 10 drops per cylinder with WD 40 then let it work for 4-6 hours and 95% of the motors turn! Then fill it with Liquid Moly engine rinse and oil and let it run until all the water and oil mixture is out!

[@raythompson5251]

This is why I started watching your channel, no risk no reward .

[@jonathankent5898]

If Marvell's Mystery Oil doesn't work, try using transmission fluid. I had acquired a submerged outboard that was seized. After letting it sit with transmission fluid in the cylinders for 12 hours, I was able to gently break the engine free.

[@julianmireles3131]

Dodge darts are amazing cars I’ve had one for 4 years now I love it. Not extremely powerful but the 2.0 with that exhaust setup pops and sounds good! Remote start is picky doors have to be closed hood has to be closed trunk has to be closed. It’ll beep twice then fire up

I've done cars in this exact shape and they've came out of it and ran. Good luck cant wait for the next video!

[@farmerkris423]

I think you should buy a tow truck from copart and fix it up and use it instead of that trailer. I would love to see you work on something big. I don’t mean a coal truck but something like that. Or you could but a roll back truck. Just a suggestion. I love you videos man keep them up👏

[@keithcollins9080]

Like the work you’re doing. You can’t go wrong you could part out that car and get your money back if you decide not to fix it. That radio and air bags and removable body parts tires n rims should get your money back. 👍🏻

[@w829l5]

Great to see a trailer Randy, that thing will pay for itself very quickly. Think you'll get that Dart running

[@ronvan1362]

Randy, I have all the confidence in the world that you will have that Dart purring like a kitten soon. Enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work. take care and have an awesome day.

You make your money on the buy not the sale, got to buy smarter.The trailer for $2300 might be your best buy yet.

I drove a new rented Fiat Dart for one day in 2013. It failed within about half a day of use. I would never take possession of one of those piles for any amount of money. There's a reason it's called Fix it again Tony!

Alot of times when your draining the engine and water comes down before the oil on a flooded car,90% of the times The engine will be in good condition. If you could turn the engine manually just a bit with new oil every hour or two the oil will cover all the part.

[@tony_25or6to4]

Hit the local lumber or firewood yard and get some sawdust for fluid clean up. Furniture or frame shops might have sawdust too.

[@wallybeegone]

Tips for a car with suspected water damage. Check air filter first. If wet, you must remove all spark plugs, reconnect battery, and turn key to move pistons so all water is pushed out of cylinders. Then change the oil and filter.

[@JasonTheCollectorGamerreseller]

I never thought I would say this randy is stepping up on his car game good job randy 😊 my guss is a Pontiac Aztec just because I had not seen one ☝️ in a very very long time 🙃

that was my first thought too

[@joeygurley5785]

I rebuilt a couple hundred flood vehicles from Katrina in 05.Many of them were no damage people turned the garden hose on to get out from under the car note.I got where I knew what to look for when looking to see how high the water got.Many would hide the key to keep people from cranking.I went through three fifty five gallon drums of trans fluid flushing transmissions and about the same of oil.Overall had good luck.

[@rubennazario5769]

Oorah to Randy, keep on trying. You finally hit it to the moon. I want to learn your tricks on choosing good flood cars.

[@TheErwinboot]

I have a 1969 opel kadett and had a blocked motor for 3 years wd40 for a night and turn free mabye you are lucky also. I am a Renault mechanic for 25 years in Holland i like your videos greetz

Try soaking with kerosene, diesel fuel and automatic transmission fluid all work as well

[@albertsavage1984]

He could soak the entire car in kerosene. Then, you know, accidents happen.

[@roxanneabbott8424]

Love your videos, thank you!!

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Good content - but in terms of your next steps.... Just as the water sat underneath the engine oil in the sump, it will sit under your Marvel Oil and stop it doing its job. I suggest you invest $20 in an oil change suction pump to drain water (as here) but also for transmission and engine oil changes. I also cant see why you need put more than a couple of thimble-full of Marvel into each cylinder, just enough to make sure the piston crown is covered.

[@gr4p3k1lla]

I fix phones for a living but it aint leaving much money anymore. Looking for my next adventure. Thinking about doing landscaping, print tshirt logos, buying me a dump trailer or car trailer and doing some hauling or buying from copart and fixing cars. I dont know what to do yet came across your vid and subscribed really liked it!!

Take the belt off, the AC compressor is probably seized

[@tymccraw]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@subarulegacy4203]

It wont be seized water dont hurt them and the belt woulda sliped

[@TheCarterHour]

Not necessary

[@TheErwinboot]

Yes i had that on a Renault scenic

[@bigjml]

@@subarulegacy4203 Water won't hurt an engine? Seriously? Water can't be compressed, unlike air. When piston goes to top of its stroke the water has nowhere to go, the piston keeps going and bang.

[@briankoundry3401]

Randy I have been reading the other comments and they are right take off the belts just to make sure nothing else is seized it’s been sitting a bit with all that silt in the engine compartment the probably started to drive through a flooded road or such I have done a few well many and the most important thing is to get a very light oil in the cylinders and let it sit I have used PB Blaster with great results it will free up the rings from the cylinder wall put a thin oil in it for now so it will work its way into the bearings you want it to get into the Journal oil holes put your breaker bar and socket on the crank and rock it back and forth a hope for the best I know this comment seems very elementary but the PB blaster and filling the engine back with Engine oil does work just take your time with it hey I hope everything works out OK good luck you congratulations my new new shop

[@tball2990]

I factory ordered a 2013 Dart Limited with a 6-Speed and the 1.4 Turbo. I loved the look of the car, and it had good tech. It was a hot mechanical mess from day one, though. 2 clutches, a bad turbo, a cracked block, etc. It was all under warranty, but I had no faith in the car's long-term reliability. I traded it on a 2014 Mazda3 and never looked back... except to run the VIN a year or so ago. The car had (what appeared to be) an electrical fire and burned to a crisp. Of the Darts available, you got a high optioned SXT. The 2.0L with the 6-speed auto was the most solid combination offered. I hope that yours is salvageable. Even if it's not, it's a decent candidate for an engine replacement. You've got a fair amount of technology in there, and someone upgraded the seats to leather. If you play your cards right, you could still make some money with an engine swap. Good luck to you, and I'm looking forward to how this one ends up. I'm also excited to see what's going on with that Mistu Outlander. Those had a pretty short run, but they were a good, solid vehicle. If you can get your hands on one, in my area, they sell pretty well. Good luck, man, and keep the videos coming!

[@nigelstringfellow5187]

In some ways I hope you put another engine in it,that would make great content and the Dodge Dart can be your next project car which is what I really like to see on your channel,good luck with it Randy.

[@JUST_ONE_ID10T]

before you replace the engine. drain the trans fluid and check for water.

[@topangaangelle]

Also the gas tank ,if needed. Check the battery too, as well as allthe computers that might have been shorted out cause they do send signals to the starter.

[@subarulegacy4203]

topangaangelle the battery would be fine as seen the car get power just fine so all thats good i promise i work on cars

Use penatrating oil wd 40 or something, ive used trans fluid before also.

[@stevedynan6598]

....Randy, you did lift it in neutral yeah?, .. p.s an old farmers trick is a gallon of 50/50, deisel/ kerosene in the sump, soak for 24 hrs then try to turn it by hand.

Hey Randy Wats up bro a big shout out from Trinidad I love your Sasha banks

[@jaysmith5084]

I would drop the transmission pan next!! It has water in the engine so it could be inside the transmission but those are sealed so it might be good. As far as the engine it's toast 😂 by the colors of mud and dirt rings under the hood I'd say the drove the car until it stopped so it wasn't parked when the flooding was happening also the valves might have dropped so I would pull the head and see the damage. GL and yes 1500 is a bit much for a no start but if it did run we'd all be happy.

[@gh5588]

UK shout out, great to focus on something other than Brexit! The last Mustang came good despite water ingress. Got a good feeling on this one Randy. Agree with others saying removal of belts and try again. The rear bumper damage would suggest she went into water at speed maybe. The new theme with the shop works really well but don't compromise the home life stuff matey.

[@nmccammo]

Buy a winch for that trailer if you are buying flooded cars

[@WhiteTriForce]

Next time when you're getting water out of the cylinders get yourself some aquarium type hose, about the size of your pinky and put that on the end of the your shop vac , and secure it with some duct tape it may look funny but it works ! 😎

[@timothyharrison8953]

If it was running when it sucked up water, it likely hydrolocked. That wet cylinder likely has a bent rod. Pull the oil pan, and rotate the motor. If it's bent, you will notice it immediately. 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander.

Would the engine from the red car fit in the flood car just a thought 💭 I don’t even know if they have the same engine it just crossed to my mind

[@beboboymann3823]

You should invest in a bore scope. It has a built in camera and you can see first hand down into cylinders and other tight dark places in the car.

[@C.c.dethomasis]

I found in most flood car that the water went straight to the bottom of the pan and the oil floating protected the crank but if it was milky which ment the car was ran like that then your screwed but i have seen that much water in many cars drained the clean with a wd flush put spark plugs back in fresh oil and fired them up like new sont stress it

[@lifewithanxietyeveryday5897]

I was gonna say the same that wasn't enough water to be sitting on the crank

[@kevinmiller590]

Take off the accessory belts to make sure the ac/compressor, pwr steering pump or any smog pumps are not seized as well , leave that mystery oil in for at least a day maybe two and always remain optimistic! 😃

[@d.j.9961]

Can just clean up those spark plugs, scrape /clean them to remove any soot, CAREFULL NOT TO TAKE OFF ANY IRIDIUM IF THEY ARE IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS! Gap them afterwards! Also, after running oil in the cylinders, When you crank it & run it, You will be burning off the oil & it will leave burnt carbon/burnt oil on the plugs & pistons so, you might want to clean the plugs after starting it w/oil inside of the cylinders!!!

[@southernfriedhippie]

It will probably turn over, just needs a little time. Bought an oldsmobile when I was 21 (loooong ago) left it all week with thin oil in the cylinders and it freed up. Engine lasted 8 years till I wore it out.

[@funnybutclose]

If you want to turn an engine over you need a really long ratchet, two hands and a couple quick hard pulls. Also helps if you remove the converter bolts. An impact is only gonna over tighten the pulley on, not turn the engine.
