as soon as i left i had a feeling that i should just turn back around and stay home today...
long story short... i hydrolocked the motor
just got off the phone with tage to see if i can pick up my old b18
that man has saved my ass many a time...i dont know what i can do to repay him
who knows whats all fucked up
but when i realized what had happend... i literally had tears in my eyes
this couldnt have came at a worse time...
i just started a new job and im not making nearly as much as i did at my old one
school just tore out a chunk of change out of my pocket
im over 800$ in debt
and i owe a few friends money
cliff notes:
Rain sucks
School sucks
Life sucks
i hydrolocked my motor

then saturday morning i plan on getting up early and doing basically everything left
i apprichiate all the offers for help but im doing all this out of a friends dads garage and he doesnt want anyone he doesnt know over (chris its cool )
i know life isnt just about cars... but i invest SO much of my time and money into my car... and its just ripped out from under me.....

it sucks water up into the cumbustioin chamber. if the cylinder gets a lot of water in it (more than the volume of the combustion chamber only, which is usually ~30-40cc's) the water wont compress, and the piston is trying to go up and it just stops like your car slams into a brick wall. you gotta think, even at/near idle, the piston is going nearly 300mph, imagine your car slamming into a solid surface at those speeds, stuff bends.

yup, rods snap, you can put holes in pistons and cylinder walls, score the cylinder walls, ruin your head gasket, and a myriad of other really nasty things.
sucks man, it's a good thing you were able to get your b18 back, that must be a life saver. i hope that it's either an easy fix, or your b20 is in decent enough shape to part out the block and head etc.

actually.. i just ripped the head off the b20...seems like only the 3rd cylinder rod is bent... you can tell it hangs about 1-2 mm's lower
im guessing the crank is bent too...
the sleeves are still in great shape... surprising since i know the b20s are notorious for sleeves cracking under any kind of pressure

I just bought a hydrolocked GS-R today. Dropping the motor this afternoon and checking out the damage. I'm excited to have a newer car than my CRX.
