Re: Bummed Out!

Water in the oil will destroy your bearings and the crank very quickly. If it hydro-locked it also probably bent a rod and / or broke a piston.

You really need to tear it all the way down and check out the crank & bearings. With the heads off you are nearly there anyway so it is not that much more work to go the rest of the way.

Your cam is probably toast too.
