Turn the key and all you here is whr-whr-whr-BAM!-whr-whr-whr-BAM!
I don't think that rolling the car will help me.
Black2000GSR has told me that he doesn't want a GF. I think he may be starting to stray.

Black2000GSR doesn't want a GF because he doesn't feel like sitting on his cell phone saying "I'm sorry" 5039280 times for something he didn't do, while he's supposed to be out getting something to eat with his friends. :fawk:

Take off your oil pan. If you find pieces of pistons, it locked. If your rods look like candy canes, it locked.

Hydrolock is much more serious than the car just not starting....as Q said usually the starter won't even spin the motor....hence the term hydroLOCK

But, I have drained all the water out of the engine, using a shop-vac, so there is no longer any water in the combustion chamber(?) to prohibit the pistons movement. Before I did this, the engine wouldn't rotate at all. I'm fairly certain that it is hydrolocked.
