Water Sucked Into Engine...Hydro Lock, Whats The Damage ??

Water Sucked Into Engine, Hydro Lock, Whats The Damage.
the car was drove into flood water..the engine cut out..after the water was cleared from the engine it restarted and apparently drove fine.
a few weeks later the engine started clattering and running on three cylinders so i thought i would strip the engine to view the damage.

Been watching some Bengregers videos from Rufford Ford recently, plenty of hydrolock action!

Very interesting! ~ you have carried out an autopsy on a dead engine. Thank you for showing us ~ I learned much from this video. Cheers from Adelaide, South Australia.

I came across this video by chance and said, why not? 19 min later and just your attitude and not super serious tone kept me watching the whole time, well done, from America.

The main issue with flood water is having the air intake at a stupid low level :( Years ago you had the frying pan air filter on top of the engine.

Excellent video, My Dad told me when I was a kid never drive through flood water/deep puddles, you can destroy your engine, (hydro-lock) or damage your suspension ( hidden pot holes) . As you mentioned the amount of people who drive through deep water is staggering.

I'll have an eighth of whatever Alan's having, 👍

Everyone who drives through Rufford Ford needs to watch this, especially Mercedes Sprinter van drivers.

I am him. I am one of those people. Because i accidentally drove through deep water that only existed because it was a damn monsoon at the time. I kinda had no choice. I came to this video specifically because of that. Very interesting watch. Thank you for the content, Alan.

I saw a piston out of a blown up 2.8L V6 engine out of an 82 Camaro, and the rod was bent all the way around in a U shape. I had gotten the car with a blown engine and already had a used engine to put in it, the mechanic doing the swap for me was impressed.

The renter gave it a good old John the Baptist blessing.

I stumbled across your video and channel 14 minutes and 21 seconds ago - I have been nothing, but satisfied with your content and how you never failed to keep me entertained!! I am subscribing and putting the bell on for you sir!

Nothing worse than a set of worn out flaps

Deffo, perfect hydro lock bend shape in that rod, you'd think it'd run bad but they often sound fine till it goes bang :)

[mrh]

Those Numpty's on the ford crossing videos need to watch this 😁

[dejanprsic]

I like the way, you realize...disassembly...and reassembling... cheers...

[Stop..carry-on]

Spot on with your evaluation at the end haha

[bigfarmerUK]

Very interesting... think YT algorithm found you based on my viewings of Rufford Ford carnage of hydro locked engines. 👍
