    Guys, one thing you do that bugs me. Turn these engines over by hand before you try and crank them. If they do have a cylinder full of water and the engine is cranked you could bend rods. If it's free to turn through two complete turns ( 4 cycle engine ) and there's no water in the intake then it's clear to try and spin with the starter. And as others have commented, check the trans and diff as well as brake and PS fluids. Then put a few miles on them and check for foam again.
    Just an FYI, years ago flood cars often had the fluids changed at the yard. But, if they did not start them and drive them, then water in all the odd places might not have been flushed out. A few miles will circulate fluids and then the next fluid change will get most of the remaining water out.

    I did say I personally wouldn't want a previously flood damaged car. However if you take them apart and check all the modules and replace what's needed then you should be OK. As you say you are taking a risk with any purchase from Copart but flood damaged vehicles are perhaps a higher risk . Great to see they all started, I would always expect a Toyota to start I did think the Ford might be a problem but that was just a feeling ! Great video Brothers and just keep going with these vehicles, good luck. 👍👍

    Guys, when pumping out the cylinders on a petrol, you should really pull the fuel pump fuse first - all it takes on one spark on that fuel injected mist coming out of the spark plug holes. Also, as other have said, if I am looking at a "flooded" car, the first thing to do before trying to start is pull the plugs, open the air filter to check for water and spin it over. If water is in the cylinders, even turning over on the starter can do damage internally. But overall you guys hit the jackpot on these.
