ok so the car its my cousins....05 cobalt 2.2ecotec.....she lost control and fell in a low water crossing....
brought it home....it turned on just fine but had a broken oil pan,radiator and e fan...
i replace
oil pan
radiator
filled radiator
put new oil and filter
turned it on but it started kinda like a smeely steam coming from the reservoir as i was filling it up
it wasnt knocking or anything...the idle had a slight miss...so t
so i turned off and go to start it and its rough as hell...barely wants to crank over
i checked the dipstick and it did not mark anything like wtf
so i go under and i drained the oil and it came out with water
im thinking as i filled the radiator that water was going to the pan
i removed plugs and they were covered in water
my cousin mentioned it was steaming smoking etc etc
what yall think? head gasket? i think im just gonna replace the motor
