if you even want to keep your stock engine.. i woudlent waste money on it. look into investing into a b18b swap or a b16 swap for now to be on the best bang for your buck. but when you hydrolock your engine, basicly your rods are smashed. maby the cyl. walls but i dont know.

and if you crank the engine when their are broken rods and peices in there, your just throwin around debris.

great excuse for that swap that you need!

repairing that motor would cost most than it's worth.

Just a clicking noise? Your engine is probably just wet. Let it dry out and try cranking it again.

Don't waste your time trying to rebuild, too time consuming and you will spend more than buying another engine.
You could buy another replacement motor for $100-$300.
Or you could B16 ob1 swap for about $2000; B18B swap $1500...

and people wonder...."do i really need an AEM bypass valve?"

i'd say this is the definitive answer.
