Hydrolocked the LS1...pics of damage
Hydrolocked the LS1...pics of damage When it flooded several weeks ago I hit a very deep spot of water and sucked some up into my engine. So to make a long story short it broke a rod and punched some holes in the sides of my block and had to get towed home. Now I finally got a new engine in it and its running great. Here's some pics of the damage

tylerdj, meet incompressible fluid. Incompressible fluid, tylerdj.
And that, class, is why engines suck in air (a compressible fluid) as opposed to water (incompressible).
Glad to hear the new engine is in, though. Did you go bigger?

I cant believe its that easy to hydo-lock a stock motor without driving it directly into a lake.
H20 is a liquid.
Air is a gas.
Gases and liquids are the two subcategories of fluids.

–noun
1. a substance, as a liquid or gas, that is capable of flowing and that changes its shape at a steady rate when acted upon by a force tending to change its shape.
Most people confuse fluid with liquid because of things like transmission fluid, wiper fluid, blinker fluid, etc. In actuality, the fluid dynamics 101 definition is the correct one. While there are many compressible fluids, as far as I know there are no compressible liquids.

Cold H2O is a solid
If I recall correctly, H2O (water for us common folk) is one of the few (only?) substances that can occupy all three states of matter.
