Can you help me troubleshoot a Honda that has mud in the motor?

An engine should never have mud in it. If it does it must be completely taken apart and cleaned to remove it. If a small portion gets into something like the oil pump it could end up ruining the engine.

Pay a professional to remove the mud from within the motor. After this, I recommend getting a new motor. It is done.

Completely take apart and clean it. There should never be any mud in your engine. A small amount get into the oil pump you it will mess your engine up,you will have to replace the engine.

It may already be ruined. You would have to have the engine rebuilt. In the meantime, don't run the engine under any circumstances.

A engine should not be ran with mud in the motor. It will act like an abrasive and ruin your motor. The only way it could have gotten in there is if it sucked in muddy water or a little creature built a nest in it. Either way it should be stripped down, cleaned, and rebuilt.

I would suggest washing the mud out of your motor and drying out or replacing filters....also quit mudding in your honda why would you need to ask what to do about mud in your engine? wash it out period then find out what you ruined
