Default need help asap with hydro lock question!!!

so im in o.c maryland this week and it starts rainging and i sucked up some water. it has happened before and it starts to sputter so i didint worry. Iwent to down shift and it started smoking white everywhere. I checked the oil and there is no water in there but at is still messing up. i hoping when i let it dry overnight it will be fine. im gonna do a compression check and check the injectors tomrrow if its nice. What else could it be? thanks!

well white smoke.. wait steam is white.. wait it was steam and not smoke... wait u should pull your plugs and turn the car over till drys and hope for the best, or u blew a head gasket (which would be an ok outcome since u didnt blow a hole in the block), if it starts tho its prolly gona be ok, just need to turn it over so the water can get of the spark plug holes.

QFT^^


Seriously though, how much more power do you plan to gain with a name brand SRI over an EBay SRI? I wouldn't recommend using the filter you get with it, but you could use the one off of your CAI.

Don't drive it until you know there isn't going to be any issues. That is a good way to blow your motor... (ask my brother, ha ha).

And as for just "putting your CAI filter on the EBAY pipe" the EBAY pipes sometimes use different size tubing than the AEM or Injen intakes so he would end up having to buy a new filter anyway. Just go buy an AEM short ram. It is worth the money, the quality, and the dry flow air filter. Don't support EBAY and cheap aftermarket parts. It is crap like that which caused GReddy (TRUST) to go bankrupt. People stealing parts designs that they spent lots of money engineering.
