hey my buddy has a DOHC ZC that he said he will sell it to me for 50$ but the thing is it stopped running when his mom was driving his crx in the rain and hit a puddle and the CAI sucked in water.... so what kinda of damage do you think this thing has??? how hard would it be to get it running agine??? someone help ASAP!!!

-thanks

 

From what I understand, Hydrolocked motors are done. Better off getting a new one.

Good luck finding that ZC though..

Things like this tend to happen..



No bueno.

Water doesn't compress.. so all of the motion is stopped within the one or more of the cylinders for a split second and BAM. You're done.


Damn cold air intakes. So a lesson.. by a CAI with a bypass valve.

 

i hydrolocked motor is not a good thing but not always....sometimes the water just needs to be removed.....take out the spark plugs and crank 4 or five time....put 2 or 3 drops of oil in the cylinder put the plugs back in and try and start it....u might get lucky

 

Thats a crazy picture.

 

ive got better picks

 

Welll show us.

 

Yes do show us please

 

For real stay away from any hydrolocked motor, Hondas dont seemt o take it to well....

Heres what happned when i hydrolocked my D15b

 

Hella crazy

 

my spare motor had a split rod just like that but no hole on the block. but the damn rod shattered the oil pan baffle and the oil pump like mad ......gotta show pics soon

 

Wheres a good place to put the bypass valve? anyone have pics on that?

I would buy it if I was you it might not be as bad as you think and theres plenty of salvagable part and spare parts on it if you think at it. I would give it a go its only fifty bucks

I think AEM makes one. However ive known a couple of people that had them and they still hydrolocked there ****. They work alright but if you get to much water they dont work very well.

IMO i would jsut get a short ram intake and build a box around it to keep out the hot air. The way i look at it is, With a cold air intake... Sure your getting cold air, but the engine has to work twice as hard to get it. With a short ram, theres alot better airflow sure the air is warmer but a box can fix that. Or just try and keep the stock box, you dont gain alot with ether intake anyways, and the stock box is alot less noisey.

I agree with you for 50 bucks you should jsut buy it. I guess i ment it more like this, Dont expect any hydrolocked motor to be a running motor. If you understand that it moght be parts only then go for it..

 

I have a three good ZC pistons (with brand new rings) still mounted on their rods. I'll sell you them for dirt cheap.
