sucking water in through the intake. Water doesnt combust very well, hence bent rods etc.

Or dumping water into your motor from the oil fill hole. its not exactly easy unless you drive through a pond or small lake thats up to your headlights (unless you have a CAI it doesnt take much in that case)

Hydrolocked broken down for you.

hydro- or hydr-
pref.

Water: hydroelectric.
Liquid: hydrodynamics.
Hydrogen: hydrochloride.


The only way to effectively hydrolock a motor would be to somehow put water into the combustion chamber. If it ran low on oil, you didn't hydrolock it, you seized it. In all likely-hood you spun a bearing or two if you let it go long enough for the oil pressure light to come on.

Do you even know what hydrolock means? Its when liquids(a la water) gets sucked into your engine's cylinder(s) and tries to get compressed. If you're retarded and can't figure this out, water doesn't compress. Hence bending of rods and what not.
