I went into a puddle as i was pulling over because it started to rain...and BAM it stoped the air intake sucked the water up...and out came a hole in the block. check it out! Someone told me I might have bent a valve...? Let me know!

 

more like bent a rod and hydrolock/killed block

 

looks like you have bigger problems then a bent valve!

 

ouch.... good luck with whatever it is....

 

everyone remember this?


hope its not as serious...but your block is dead anyway

 

I know the block is trashed... I am getting one here in a few hours...when they open. I was just wondring about the valves...

 

no ur head should be ok, my friend had this happen to him...

 

i have a motor that was hydro locked it snapped a rod in 2 and punched holes out of each side of the block, some junk got stuck in the head and bent 2 valves also!
so this can be worse then it looks, but let´s hope for the best

good luck w all that bro

 

damn!!

at least you've got another block coming soon... good luck

remember if you're just driving to work, there's no need for a cai, switch to short ram in the winter....

 

yeah def. bent valve. i wound up removing all the valves by my crank

 

you def killed your block, you most likely snapped a rod due to the hydrolock. Good luck with that one bro..

 

ouch, with that kind of compression going on to blow a hole through your block, u dont think you bent some valves.....?

 

short ram is your friend

cai's are a waste of money.

 

this might sound like a newbie ? but how does hydrolocking the motor **** it up. what does the water do when it enters the combustion chamber. and why would the water make the rod snap if the rod never touches the water

 

water does not combust.. rod has lots more resistance now.. so it bends like that pic

how deep of a puddly are we talking about here? geez that sucks man im running CAI kinda scary

 

definitallly hydrolocked, my friend did the same thing.. with a shorty intake can you say flood?

 

I sure hope I did not bent a valve.

doesnt take much, i found out the hard way on XMAS day

sorry to hear, i was in a similiar situation, but after letting her dry up for a few days she started up, no visible damage, and had a compression of 190 across the board.

as for the valves, who knows. but since you are obvioulsy going to be replacing the block, then theres your chance to inspect the head for damage. good luck

 

The problem is that water does not compress. So when a cylinder sucks up a bunch of water and gets pushed up by the piston, and reaches the point where the volume of the water in the cylinder exceeds the volume of the combustion chamber, and the piston is still going up, something's gotta give. Usually its the rods first, and then whatever gets nailed by the busted rod, and other flailing bits.

Exactly,

Thats why i think im going J's here soon.

 

wow... time for a new block.. haha.. thats why i dont drive my car in the rain.

 

Head is fine block is FUCKED

water man not be compressed. u never hear of compressed water, but air on the other hand can be compressed (combustion). pretty much ur rotating assembly comes to a stop so fast . . . its scary to imagine.

edit: i didnt know someone posted it already. my bad.
