Re: Hydro-Lock?

[Eliot Lim <eliot@u.washington.edu>]

the car that i saw was suffering from leaky fuel injectors.  i should
probably add that it was only the second v8 ever encountered by that
dealership to suffer hydro-lock.

i also did say that i don't know of any actual cases of hydro lock
resulting from continuous cold starting.  i will go and check and
see what caused the first car to hydro lock.  it was not caused
by flood waters i'm pretty sure.

in any case, hydro lock or no hydro lock, the v8 is definitely *not*
a car that you start it to move it 10 feet out of the garage and
turn off.  see my other posts.
