[QUOTE="metaman, post: 9952878, member: 23647"] These guys have good advice, however if the motor had hydrolocked severely enough to damage the motor it would have stalled out on its own instead after you parked it and tried to start it back up. It is just hydro locked. The advice above is good about taking all of the plugs out. It wont crank because water will not compress in the cylinders. Be glad that after you parked it enough water got into the cylinders to prevent the starter from turning it over. That probably saved it. I would fix it in this order. Remove the plugs Crank it over (water is going to shoot out of the plug holes) Let it sit with the plugs out for a while so that the cylinders can dry out While it sits change the oil Put it back together and start it The water will not wash the oil off of the pistons. Water and oil do not mix, blah blah blah. You only need to add oil back into the cylinder if it had been hydrolocked with fuel which washes the oil away. As soon as you start cranking it, more oil will move into the cylinders. You could shoot a little shot of wd40 into each cylinder while you are waiting for it to dry out which will disperse the water out of the rings and what not. [/QUOTE]
