^This.

A couple years ago, I was installing 1600cc injectors on my racecar, after the install and priming the rail, the engine would not turn over by starter or by bigass prybay (on crank) long story short, the injectors were faulty and stayed open under pressure and filled all 4 cylinders with c16....so ofcourse I thought I was boned....(by this time im a case deep in heiniken) and I notice a old spray bottle, I took the top spray pump off, stuck the plastic hose into the cylinder and BAM! fuel pumped into empty Heiny bottles.


the point is, when it locked it was not running however it literally would have locked the whole drivetrain if it pulled enough water to bend a rod.


tldr; shit happens, good luck.


*edit* its also pretty awesome to see fuel shoot over the hood when you crank a hydrolocked engine and plugs out.
