http://www.japandomesticmotor.com/ says 9000rpm although I'm pretty sure that its 8400rpm.

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.
AHA! Your engine is fucked up! :chuckles:

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:

Water in distributor is my guess.

Not trying to be a smart ass but I still don't think its locked.

If it locked it would not spin.


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

Hydrolock is when the engine inducts enough water so that it cannot complete its compression stroke and the engine internals have to give because unlike a normal fuel and air mixture, water does not compress at all.

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.
