Re: aluminum block?

IF you hydrolocked it, you could have a bent connecting rod, cracked head, or bent crank. BAD things happen when you hydrolock an engine. It's the old story of an immovable object (the coolant in the cylinder that can't be compressed like air) meeting an unstoppable force (the piston coming up on the compression stroke). Something has to give, and it's normally expensive engine components.
