Rep Power: 0 Hydrolocked or NOT!?!?
The other day it was raining like hell. I was going aroung the back side of K-Mart and drove through what looked like a shallow puddle. The shallow puddle was deeper than it looked. I drove through and my car shut off and locked down. I had my car towed to my garage. I looked around for an answer to my problem. I found out that i probally had hydrolocked my car. The symptoms sounded the same. CAI with no bypass valve sucked water into the engine. so far the car is locked up from what i can tell. I took off the spark plugs and released the compression and tried to crank the car. Nothing. I then drained the oil and water that ran through the engine. I then ran motor flush through it. Now we are trying to manually turn over the engine. Under the driver side wheel well there is a bolt to turn the engine over it wont budge. I need some help trying to loosen something up to get the engine to turn over. So far i have decided to take off the oil pan and look and see if a rod is bent. And I want to loosen up the belts too, to loosen up the tension. SO if you can tell me other ways that would possiblly help me make a suggestion.

Rep Power: 286 Dayum.. if you took the sparks plugs out already, it should turn over fairly easy with socket and rachet with the tranny in neutral since there isnt any compression...
