I had a police expedition that i have a 5.4 3v, that will into a crown victoria later ( drift build ).. So this Navigator ( had ) a seized motor I used a lot of chemicals ATF,ACETONE,AND DIESEL in the crack case for a extra step... So now I am going to see if this 5.4 4v engine starts

It was a bad move on my part i didnt check when i made the purchase ( such a bad move ), but I did get the motor free it took 2 and half weeks so I am back to square one on this build... The purpose was to have expedition then I was like well i will take this a build it up ( to test what i am made of ), but it was clearly a bad move so just trying to get at it... tank has to be dropped and Not to worry on parts its old enough to find parts its the labor thats all

You can also try marvel mystery oil. Amazing stuff. Problem is, vehicles that are submerged in water, get a lot of internal damage. You could pull motor apart, see what your up against. You might be able to salvage some or all of it. Just depends on how long it was in the water, and how lucky you get. Used navi motors can be had for under a grand. Do you have a pick and pull or equivalent near you? We have a bunch here in Bay Area. Keep us posted what you do.

You may want to consider getting the Factory manuals on DVD

Motor turns now it took awhile like 2 weeks, but we are good... I do have a pick part here i go there all the time... i do have a spare engine from my Expedition , but the 5.4 4v is better... Yes the internals may be screwed , we shall give it a turn i will prep motor as much is i can before starting cause it may not start who knows, but i wil try to get it going... truck isnt worth to take engine and replace it i seen a lot mor cleaner Expeditions out there, but we will try this first sharpen my skills on these cause ai know zero about them
