Usually when u hydro lock a motor it is from loading the cylinder with water or in ur case coolant, or from too much fuel. That's why top fuel cars bust rods all the time is from the amount of fuel there pushin into the cylinders creating hydro lock
All (7) plugs are wet? Usually when a head gasket blows, one or two cylinders take a drink. I'll bet you've got some major carnage, drain the oil and catch any metal that drains out. Water in the oil will separate in the drain pan.

I did the same thing as that woman....after a real bad storm here I wad on my way to work and rent through d lake of a puddle....blew number 7 rod out the side of the block and shattered the oil pan.
But the good news was Geico paid me +$5000 for a new motor and that is how I ended up with my 408

Lol I had no clue, but just after it happened I was sitting there waiting on a roll back and my insurance agent was driving by.....he stopped to see if I was ok, told me it was covered, and even got the claim started while we were sitting there waiting....next day the adjuster was st the house, the day after that my agent drove over and dropped the check off to me at the house for $5109 lol.
