But I still wouldn't pour an entire can into my crankcase... __________________ Selling for friend: Vortech Supercharge kit < 100miles.

What do you have to do to get that effect? Pour the entire can?

I know what hydrolock is, but never from seafoam....

My friend had a z28 with a ram air setup that was down on the ground almost, and one day it was POURING DOWN, got stuck in and incline for about 30seconds too long and ended up pulling a motor that night...

my question is, is their another way of getting the car out of being hydro-locked or do you have to basically remove the sparkplugs like that?

Put a socket on a breaker bar or half inch ratchet and manually turn the crank i had to do this once cuz i got interrupted seafoaming by my neighbor.

PS> u will have to turn the crank about 10-20 times manually. u will hear the seafoam forcing its self through the valve tran. also make sure u got a good charge in the battery cuz its going to take some serious CCA to get the beast to turn. however you will get it going again

dgt_mustang Enthusiast 01 mustang Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: goose creek Posts: 932	well we ended up taking out the spark plugs, then held a grill lighter to the opening and let blow out the end. much quicker, just make sure your hand isnt near that opening. __________________ LEAVE REP POINTS WHERE NEEDED!!! 2001 mustang V6 CAI,Tuner,Cobra Rims To come: UDP, T-lok, 3.73, full exhaust setup W/flowmaster 40s, aluminum driveshaft.
