i wouldnt worry too much. Iv done it a few times. just pull out the plugs and wind it over with the throttle wide open till most of the waters out, leave it for an hour then put the plugs back in and fire her up. i run it till it gets hot then when its a bit colder dump the oil and filter and replace. dont waste you money on all that oil.

are guys kidding me...there is still water in the valves...valve guides...and the rest of the head for that matter....you can flush the oil 5 or 6t times and not get the water out,....that is why you never hear of a hydrolocked motor ever running again...that ---- is deshed homi....the rest of that water in there you cant get out will either freezed and break ---- or cause air bubbles or cavitations and wear away bearings and ----....trust me i go to school for this ----

thats funny water in the valve guides. oh and just to let you know a dumdass i know just hydrlocked his srt-4 i built. pulled the head and oil pan put 1 new rod and a new set pistons and the car fire right up and has been driving around fine since it was hydro locked. its just water i will eventually makes its way to the oil pan. and im pretty sure if you get the engine up to operating temp. the water that will be in the valve guides (as you say it will be )will be gone. just flush the motor a coulpe times you should be good to good.

ya thats pretty much bullshit

the same ---- happens when you blow headgaskets, water mixed with oil everywhere oil is supposed to go. ive blown abou 5144122 headgaskets

water evaporates from the heat
maybe if u hydrolock ur engine and store it for a couple months then thats a different story

Jesus, you guys are still going on with this thread, lol. The car is FINE. I changed the oil today and couldn't see any water in the oil. It drives fine, it idles fine, it seems just fine. I am going to run it for another week or two and go back to mobile one synthetic. I have been using some of the four cases of valvoline synthetic that I got for free a few years ago. along with cheapy Fram filters. I figured this was a good reason to use them, cause I really don't care for either



Ok, back to the regularly scheduled bickering....

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I wasnt even that stupid when I was 10 years old. You should stop going to school cuz your teacher is an idiot.

i notice nobody ever talk about "motor flush" which you can buy for 2-3$ at autozone/advance auto/walmart. or maybe i missed it reading but i used it only once and it get the work done right away and changed the oil filter too. oil filter only 3-4$ so its better just to change it at the same time you change oil or in this case flush the motor... anyhow the flush works awesome. you run the car for 5 mins at a certain rpm and this thing makes the oil thin like water and everything drips out and at the same time it cleans the internals. it took a lot of gunk off alot of high milleage motors i've used it on too.
