HELP!!! I'm rebuilding my 4.0 engine and we had a really bad rain storm and water got in the engine, what do i do? I sprayed the whole engine down with WD-40 inside and out. The engine is currently on a engine stand.

Why rubbing alcohol?

X2 on the fans and try a dehumidifier in an enclosed space like a small room or somethin

Leave it to jeep to over engineer a part...lol

My drivers one broke and and had the ability to be useless or i could pop into place so it would hold the door open all the way. Kinda nice to have till it betrayed me and popped and knocked me in the temple of the head. Then i hammered it out and DGAF lol

Wiped the biggest glob of bird **** I've ever seen off of the windshield.

Re: the engine... wouldn't a degreaser or brake cleaner be better? Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) is generally 30% water unless you can fine some really pure stuff

So will putting the engine in the sun get rid of all the water and moisture? Will wd40 eat away at the head gasket?

The idea behind using such things as alcohol or brake parts cleaner is that it dries really fast. I think brake parts cleaner might work a bit better though, but I'm not too sure. I've never had to get water out of an engine lol.
