Right now it's obviously the winter event. My car tonight hydrolocked, i meant i shut down and i was stranded on the side. It finally turned after a couple of tries. Went home took out the AEM cai. Checked the pipe only a strand little smaller than teaspoon on h20 in the pipe. Checked each spark plug and everyone was dry, but the first plug had a tiny bit of water i mean lil speck on thread. Do you guys think there's something wrong or I was just lucky and taught a lesson? By the way it's a b18c.

 

if it runs fine for a week, it's fine. if there's ticking, get the valves adjusted (which you may want to do anyway just to be sure) most of the time the worst that happens is some bent valves... but if it's running O.K. for a week, you should be fine

 

Hey, cool thanks for the advice. I'll definitely check up on that

 

valve adjustment

 

might change your oil out to to be safe.

 

if it still runs fine after a few days (when all the water evaporates) then you should be fine. but as long as it is turning over now that is always a good sign.

 

1 lucky fellow..

instal the bypass

 

What rpm was your motor at when it cut off on you?

My motor probably had a good 20oz of water in it when I hydrolocked back in august. The next day I drained my oil I had probably 2/3 of a 20oz bottle of water and a few shots came out of my #4 cylinder when I cranked it. Still running strong, compression tested 250 246 245 245 a week later. I think what saved me is my motor was at like 750 rpms (idling) when it took a gulp of water.

I'm probably gonna get either a short ram or comptech icebox this summer.

 

Update: Today's my car's running same as usual. Right after school, i changed my oil and changed the plugs and cranked it over w/o the plugs also. The first cylinder spit a lil of h2o out, but other cylinders seem fine. The car's not hesitating what so ever and it's turning over every time. Thank god! Thanks again for the input H-T Members !

 

damn youre lucky!

 

Yea your lucky. I wish I had your luck when I hydroloced my motor. Trust me if there is somthing wrong you would know. I had a real bad ticking noise and blowing out black smoke. I ended up to bend a pistion it sucked.

 

Your very lucky!

 

yea, very lucky.... i've seen cracked sleeves, seized pistons, snapped rods, etc....
