IT may not have sucked a ton into the engine. But It looked like had a good drink lol

Engine head is ok
Block is ok (thats PB Blaster in there. I ran out of wd-40)
The Z
The evil that killed my Z (that garden thingy is only 3 blocks high with maybe 6 inches of cement to stand on)
Another shot. that water was only around a foot deep when I checked it later.
Soo ya. Open airbox + semideep water + speed = waterlocked Z engine

Totally, there's a reason your air box is designed the way it is. Now, I actually cut holes in my airbox too, but I cut them in the BACK of the airbox, so it doesn't "funnel" the water into your engine like it would in the front...

Well I'm not gonna be driving in water that doesn't look deep but turns out to be a little bit deep, or if I have to, go REALLY slow. But I love driving in the rain. no clue why but its fun lol
Congrats C-Dawg on the very first one to call me "bluefox" XD

i hope you didn't bend any rods... but i would drop the head off at a machine shop to get checked out, good possibility it got warped also possibly messed up some valve seals and get new head studs or bolts and a good gasket.

Am I the only one wondering why he has a head bolt torqued at 100 ft/lbs? They're only about 55ft/lbs if I remember correctly. So far nothing looks too bad, but like snw said drop the head off. How did you oil look?

Oil was still new and had very little water in it. And Im exaggerating about the headbolts but I have to use a breaker bar to get them undone. But I let my friend do the first one, and he had it on tighten with a 3 foot breaker bar. so ya
