would like someone to look at my 1200

Hi all i`ve just managed to get my 1200 engine fired up today and yes there was water in the fuel! Not good i know, well it idles well but there`s a clanking noise coming from behind the lower pulley wheel i`ve been told bent rods eek! if someone could come round and say for sure then i`ll have a go at rebuilding it
My first beetle i managed to melt the spark plug to the cylinder head , i`ve grown up a little now so i think?? in future to ask first than go on running it as you do!
Thanks all, by the way great club!

Ok think i may have sorted it! I managed to get water in the fuel which has leaked past the piston rings and into the oil making the oil very thin, so have just drained it tonight and i`ll take it from there!
If its still clattering after that then its time to put the freebie 1600cc engine in with twin kadrons ;D

ahh glad you sorted it, my advice of changing the oil worked first time for everything
