massive 200tdi problems

hi guys its a long one so bear with me....

right 2 weeks ago i drowned my defender with a retrofitted 200tdi engine in it....took ages to get rescued (about 4 hrs) and about halfway through the engine died......first diagnosis was the turbo dead (well dead as it turned out) but also no clutch or starter....anyway today the new turbo went on and i popped a new starter on aswell and all started ok (also i have to point out i have flushed and changed the engine oil twice because it was really thick but not gritty) anyways.....the clutch is still slipping massively so i tried flushing the bell housing with water with the engine running and had loads of gloopy stuff out and a bit more clutch....however checking things over i noticed the engine oil was a bit "yoghurty" telling me that water had got in somewhere and also after a wee while oil started dripping (albeit slowly) out of the bell housing (no i never had a wading plug in at the tim e of the incident) and lastly although the engine is running quite well i have noticed that at highish revs it seems to be a bit more "knocky" from the bottom end than it used to be. so.....over to you clever peeps to help me out pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee

richo:
Is it the rear main seal gone in front of the gear box ? I can remeber something like that happening on a old transit years ago i might be wrong as i am a plasterer

ian_s:
did you hydraulic lock the engine?

extreme90:
right....oil leak....will be the rear crank seal been torn or grit got behind it due to being submerged with no wading pug

also if you had no plug in the timing case i strongly advise you to fit a new timing belt SHARPLY before it snapps, as water will have stretched it like mad  :shock:

the nocking....as said before and like ive asked before....did the engine hydraulic lock ? i.e injest water into the intake system...fill the intercooler ect ect and stop the engine ?
if so....i would bet anything that youve got atleast 1 bent conrod  :shock:
