    Hydro locked motor

    Well....after 11 years and California having massive flash flood warning this past couple weeks, I hydrolocked my motor coming home. I was able to tow it home. I pulled the sparked plugs and vacuum most of the water out, changed the spark plugs and oil. I was able to get her started but I have a ticking noise and stalls every once in awhile when I push the clutch in to stop. I have a cel saying misfire on cylinder two. Do you think I need to readjust my valves or do you think i bent a rod?

    Take it from somebody who has been through this twice. Your engine is going to pop if you keep running it. It's very possible you need a rebuild and it might be even better if you just swap your motor entirely. When I hydrolocked the second time, I just bit the bullet and went with the K20A2 and six speed.
