A. Engine was flooded with water like someone had driven it into flooded ditch and it sucked water into the intake manifold.
B. However, the car was parked in the exact spot and showed no signs of mud anywhere outside and inside the car.
C. Odometer matches what it should based on miles driven.


What if a flood occurred where the car was parked?

If it had orange antifreeze or dex cool, it will look muddy when it dries. Where there actual clumps of mud?

I’m going with yard guy stealing the engine and draining the gas before.. why the elaborate mission for an engine is the confounding part

So someone gets the key, runs the car into a flooded ditch within a mile (ruining the engine), cleans the car, tows it back to the spot where it was taken, siphons the gas, and replaces the key?


This is the most likely answer.

Clearly the keys got switched. I've seen this scam before. They took one key and turned in a different one. Follow the key and you will find the answer.

Car was cleaned and then parked after it was driven into a ditch or somewhere and it flooded.

Gas receipt was for gas but it didn’t have to be for this car so car was on empty when it was parked and keys turned in.

Car flooded, then cleaned. Gas pumped into something other than company car. Company car was parked with gas receipt showing correct mileage and full tank (see above statement on gas ). Company car never moved.

What kind of car is it? You most likely need to ask a mechanic not a sleuth.

The exhaust valves are above the head gasket and the cylinders, unless it's some kind of engine like a boxer or a flat engine, which ain't in his company's Honda Accord. How does the water drain up?


Pretty simple, the head gasket leak is how the water got into the cylinder. The compression would force it up into the exhaust valves. It isnt draining up its being forced.
