you might have hydrolocked the engine...

see if insurance will cover it, they covered mine.

 

o really?? wat happens wen u hydrolock the motor?? wat do i tell insurance

 

tell them you were driving and you ran through some water and your engine stalled out and wont start back up.
tell them the truth.

Thats what I did and it paid off.

 

k thanks did u have full covoerage o liability

 

full coverage.

with only liability I'm unsure if they can do anything.

 

You may not want to tell them that you have an aftermarket intake on it, that may cause some problems with the insurance company. Anyone care to expand on this?

i had cold air intake, header, and exhaust.. he didnt really seem to care. I guess it just depends on the insurance company, and on the actual adjuster.

just to be safe.. swap back to stock!

 

take the plugs out and turn the motor over. also change oil too

this is true.. the spark plugs could be wet, and not allow the engine to start.
I didnt have to do any of this.. my insurance company just came out and issued me a claim and said I could get a new salvaged engine..
They even let me keep my hydrolocked engine... I'm gona build it in the future.. maybe the summer
