Garage - water in the engine?

[robertall]

As you know my honda cg 125 seized up because it burnt oil, then had no oil.

The garage i have taken it to says that there is "water in the engine".

Is this possible?

If yes, how?

Usually it can be caused by condensation my brothers Z1000 was like that when you looked at the oil window the oil was milky looking once it had been warmed up and run round for a bit it would disappear only to there the next day.

Considering the CG125 is a a aircooled bike its the only thing i can think of

What explanation did the mechanics at the garage give you Rob?

Rob

what??? aircooled engine so no water to get in there, if no oil anyway the heat would have evaporated all the water, unless you or the garage have left the bike uncovered in the rain with the plug out/head off or something equally as daft??
if i were you i would take someone with you who knows about engines (car or bike don't matter) to see them and get a proper explanation of whats wrong.

signs of a blocked crank case breather also there was an oil years ago that was notorious for this

The spark plug cap was out when i went to the garage, and it had been raining a few hours before.... and it was parked outside.

Could this have done it?

Answer is no the spark plug is still in the cylinder head taking the plug cap off would'nt cause water to enter the engine.
