Yeah it was a K&N. However, this was likely due to driving over 2mph in the water. This will not happen to a K&N overnight in the rain.

 

I think that one of the valves must be bent, the engine does not turn completely when i put a wrench on the cranckshaft pully it goes for 90 degrees, i'll have to take off the superior part of the engine to have a better look on the eventual damage.

 

Dude, listen to Billman. He's a pro. What have you got to loose?

You may or may not have hydrolocked the engine. You need to find out now if there is water in the engine. Get the spark plugs out, and spin the engine on the starter. See if water blows out of the plug holes. Do it soon. If there is water in your engine you want it out ASAP. Rusting engine parts are bad news.

Even if you hydrolocked the engine that doesn't mean it's destroyed. My jet ski engine experienced hydrolock numerous times, and every single time I did the procedure Billman mentioned. And every time it was just fine.

 

I finally got the spark plugs out, blew water out of the third piston, the others where dryer, i blew it out with air pressure cause i cant turn the engine round even with the starter, that sucks, the intake collector took water wich is logic, i blewed it also with the air pressure, thats the best i could do, i know now i've got to get the upper part engine off to look what damage it has? I've got no choice or am i wrong?

Anywat thanks for replying, its nice to see people are involved, thanks to you all

 

The car I just fixed was locked solid, from the water.

The big question is, will it crank on the starter with the spark plugs removed? Water is like steel in the cylinder, it won't turn (unless the plugs are out).

If it doesn't crank with the plugs removed, you need an engine. If it does, it just may run and be fine. follow my post up ^ a few...

 

BTW....you need to get it running now, if it's gonna run. Waiting can destory a perfectly good engine.

 

I still don't see why people risk their engines on CAIs. If I'm going to blow my engine, it'll be for more than an expensive noise maker.

Hope your car is okay.

 

Clock is ticking.....will it live bro?

 

WELL YES CLOCK IS TICKIG BUT THE PROBLEM IS TO FIND THE TIME TO OPEN THE ENGINE, IL TRY TO DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I E GOT A HEAVY PROFESSIONAL LIFE SO NOT EASY FOR ME TO FIND THE TIME? I DRIED THE CYLINDERS THE BEST I COULD WITH PRESSURISED AIR TROUGH THE SPARKPLUG HOLES AND DID THE COLLECTOR TOO? BUT I KNOW I CANT GET ALL THE HUMIDITY OUT DOING THAT? ILL KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED? AND IF I NEED ANOTHERENGINE ILL PUT A NEW ONE? IVE LEARNED MY LESSON WITH THE CAI THE HARD WAY? BELIEVE ME ILL KEEP THE AIR INTAKE ORIGINAL AFTERARDSTHATS FOR SURE!

 

You are really missing the point here. The clock is not ticking to open the engine.

Either it cranks with the start button (with plugs removed) or it doesn't.

I'm taking about a 5 minute operation to save your engine.
