Default hydrolocked question...

my motor is obviously hydrolocked....AGAIN. anyways i pulled the plug wires and plugs, and tried to crank the car over, to no avail. it doesnt budge, and after i try and start it, it goes CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK really fast... like a machine gun. all the lights on my cluster flash really fast. im not sure what is wrong... i think the whole thing is fried but maybe youve had a similar experience. I let it sit overnight to try and dry out, didnt really do anything. any help is appreciated ...thanks

just guessin, your motor was really hot and sucked water into the cylinders. thermal shock caused everything to go to shit and now the rotating assembly... isnt gonna rotate. youre sending power to the starter but it cant turn the motor over cause its locked in place.


sucks

yea, but it may be salvageable....that is what my motor did when i thought i hydrolocked it....even the blinking guages, and if u try to turn her over for too long the starter will smoke a little....i got my shit flushed and then it worked as good as new....

yea i wouldnt want to spin it anyways. water in the oil is a good way to kill some bearings.


give me a holler if you want to tear it down and need some hands
