How do you get water out of the cylinders in a diesel engine? I tried to loosen the injector lines, but it didnt seem to work. Do i have to remove the injectors, or is there an easeir way? Its a 1957 Ford 801D, if that matters. Any info would be greatly apriciated. thanx

Lesson 1) Don't trust muffler flaps, use a can or bucket.

Pull the injectors, spin the engine over slowly to get the majority out, then use a parts washer (siphon gun) and stick the hose in there and suck the rest out. Pour a little tranny fluid in each hole and spin the engine a few times before installing the injectors. Don't forget to change the oil and be sure to check the manifolds and such.

it will probly be better to take the head off and clean all rust and crud out do a valve job on it the same time you are there already not that more expence to tuch up the valves save some running hours later good luck what ever way you go.

Firstly, you don't say how the water got there.
Is the engine seized?
Was it running when it happened?
How long has it likely been there?
Are you seriously trying to make a repair? Sorry but you do not seem not too mechanically inclined, as yet, so I will try to help by pointing out some of the possibilities.
If the cylinders have had water in them for some time, the injectors will need to be pulled and checked for spray pattern etc(probably by a specialist shop) anyway as they are likely to be blocked/corroded, along with some valves seat corrosion.
If it was running when it happened, there may be serious damage to the engine - bent or twisted conrods, for example.
If the head gasket, or worse a cracked engine part, caused the leakage into the cylinders,then you might as well remove the head as soon as possible.
Give us a little more info and you will get more specific advice on the problem.
Regards, RAB

OK, so now we know the ins and outs of the matter..... ....after removing all the water from the cylinders make sure there is no water left in the inlet manifold/air cleaner - or the serious consequences (an hydraulic lock) could happen just after starting. Replace all sealing and fire washers if injectors have been removed and don't forget to check the sump for water. Be careful when restarting it.
Sorry if I got the wrong idea of your capabilities, but the basics of the compression ignition engine are of injecting fuel at around 150 bar or more into the cylinder at around 25 - 40 bar (you need that sort of pressure to adiabatically raise the air temperature above ignition point of the fuel) so the notion of letting water out of the injection line was a bit of a hoot.

you can pull the valve cover and force the exhaust valve open and turn the engine over this will push out some of the water out but not all or pull the injector out by just pulling a line it will not do a thing
