floated the head right off the block, if i were you id just look into a new motor, because if your taking everything all apart, theres a pretty good chance that something isn't going to go back together right.

check to make sure your distributor cap and and rotor are not wet. My cousin hit a serious *** puddle two weeks ago, he thought his motor was hydrolocked. I tried my whole distributor, fired right up and ran perfect.

I don't see how a bad distributer could possibly give you the same symptoms. If the motor is hydrolocked it won't even turn over.

that toyota motor and the honda motor are 2 completely diff things. But yes pull your plugs and turn it over a few times and let the water come out. If that doesnt work you may be out of luck.

*************If you ever stall your engine due to water, one of the first things you always want to do before you try to start it up is remove all the plugs and crank any water out.*************

You can claim this on insurance, under comprehensive I do believe. If you don't have comprehensive.... get it! It's covered my **** numerous times, covers hoods flipping up, deer hits, break ins, theft, hail, hydrolocked, smacking road debris on your oil pan and blowing your motor, etc.

some insurance companies wont cover hydrolock.
it happened to me with my h22 accord, had comp put on 3 months later drove threw a puddle sucked water, and because i had an intake insurance wouldnt cover it!!
do the plug thing. if that dont work
i guess its time for ls/vtec, sorry tho i kno how it feels.

call your insurance company and claim natural diseater, usually thats when a tree falls on your car or you hit a deer, in your case just say the front of the car got flooded

If it starts raining, and I've got my cold air on, I just pop the hood and take the coupler off the TB to make it home. Better than sucking up water.
Or, just run an SRI instead. I've stuck with that lately.

do u have the fender well on your car?
I'm scared to death of hydrolock..especially yesterday.. was on the freeway and the water seemed to splash high, but it seemed ok..
does the filter have to be completely submerged
if you coast through a puddle without stepping on the gas will you usually be fine?

No **** slice, read his post he said "IT WONT TURN OVER". You need air, fuel and spark chief and if water got in his distributor that would prevent the car from getting spark and thus not allowing it to crank over. The cap rotor and distributor itself are the first place to start when **** gets wet and wont turn over. Read a little slower next time
