otep:::cge. what time ka dating?

hybrid:::just be sure walang butas yon hose from your air cleaner going to your intakes. also take note of the height of you air cleaner as this will determine the height of the water you will ford.

CaRGirL:::sorry po.

While reading an article sa kakayanan ng humvees na lumusong sa tubig....ang namention nila lang ay - all the breathers ng axle, transmissions, and engine are all connected to the air intake/filter chamber....therefore it's waterproof.

I don't think magkaka-crack din...unless natuyuan na ang engine mo ng tubig at uminit ng husto....kasi water-jacketed din naman yung block...unless super taas ng temp ng makina then sudden drop ito ng biglaan.

my 2 cents.

Based from my experience, I only found out when I replaced the clutch assembly. The old clutch disc and flywheel had water spots. The water didn't enter the clutch assembly though maybe some sprinkle at the most. These water spots are caused hence by its name suddenly touching any hot metal surface. And also water spots are harder to be manipulated by lathe machines.

And before I forget something, NEVER step on your clutch while submerged in deep waters!
