Hey Justin I have a shallow socket that will fit our crankshaft bolts here at the house.....I used it to turn mine to get the TC bolts out....I have 2 different sizes

Get on over there. You could have the motor out and tore down by dark

DO NOT REMOVE THE WATER FROM THE INTAKE!! If it's hydro-locked from water ingestion, this is a good thing. It will be completely covered by your insurance. This would also explain the collapsed spark plug electrode. You can't compress water. It will easily bend a rod. I go through this atleast once a year in my line of work.

Wow...flood related warranty????

How cool would that be!!!

But wouldn't water have come out when the plug was pulled? HE just said the electrode was bent. Not that it was wet or water came out of the cylinder.

Who said anything about warranty??? If you're being sarcastic Prof, please don't talk about what u don't know. If you're not being sarcastic, then I aplogize for my last statement. Water ingestion IS Covered by your auto insurance 100%, less you deductible. Since the engine was replaced not to long ago, there probably won't be any betterment. And that would easily explain all of his symptoms. Again this in my line of work. And living in South Florida, I have done more than my share of hydro-locks. And I can't think of one that wasn't covered by insurance.

how did the water get in there?

Wes, the water could easily still be sitting in the cylinder or it's possible that it worked it's way out. It wouldn't come out when he pulled the plug. He would have to turn the engine and push the water out when the piston comes up, if he could turn the motor and if the water was still in there. The only way to know is to pull the pan and see if there is a bent rod. But that's a last resort. He needs to make sure that it's not something simple, first.

correct, but he drained the oil and there was no water in it. there would have to be some if it hydrolocked.

Did u not read his post, where he said he found water in the intake and that it had been raining?:dontknow:

It doesn't take very much water to hydrolock a motor. I've done more than one, where it was very hard to detect that very little bit of water in the oil.
