yeah when u hydrolock, your engine basically seizes up. there arent any symptoms leading to an affect... it just happens, then you're fooked.

I've hydrolocked my car twice during startup with an aem intake. I have since changed back to stock. No adverse effects to the engine so far.

If you're lucky you can remove the plugs and turn the engine push the water out.

If you're unlucky you're going to bend or break a piston rod, then you're screwed =\
