As I was doing my clutch in the 83 wagon, I decided to drop the pan to take care of an oil leak, so ended up redoing the oil pump and the pan and the water pump since I had one lying around. During the course of around 4 days I have had the engine sitting on a coffee table on it's back. Is there any way this could have caused some sort of seepage of water into the #2 cylinder? I put the motor back in a normal sitting fashion with the pan down and pulled all the plugs so I could adjust the valves and while turning it over water came out of the #2 plug hole. Not alot of water but enough that I noticed and almost spilled my beer making a pretty silly looking face.

 

When I originally pulled the engine the antifreeze looked pretty darn fresh and clean and there was no water in the oil. Is there any way that the intake gaskets could be bad and let water leak in?, or should I just go ahead and pull that head off?

 

Thanks!

I think this has a water passage in the intake manifold ? If the valves were open on the #2 that could be where the water ended up.

 

I may be wrong but this will bump up the post anyway
