I purchased a 59 Imperial Crown recently that was
in great shape except for the fact that the engine had water in the oil. We have
taken the engine apart and the block and heads are at the machine shop being
cleaned and magna fluxed. So far the gaskets were in good shape and there are no
apparent cracks. Any ideas on where the water came from? Some have said that
water could have condensed in the engine. The car sat for 8 years without being
used in Florida. The engine turned well, but the oil was a light grey brown
color. There was very little rust inside the engine. Did the 413 engine block
have any weak spots. I know this was the first year for this engine and they
were going for a light weight large block engine. Are there any design flaws
with this engine? Thanks, David Carpenter
