Default The poncho is dead :(

It hydrolocked itself. There is about a 2" hole in the block above the starter and it cracked my oil pan. Thats my plan for it. I will be looking for a new block now and I hope my crank is good.

Holy crap man! How did it hydro-lock? Did it blow a head gasket without knowing and the coolant seaped into the cylinder overnight or were you driving through a big puddle and it sucked up water? Damn,,,, that's hella bad news and very sorry to hear about that.

If it cracked the pan,,,, it may have taken a rod with it.

At least you have a reason to finally put in new motor mounts that you've been wanting to do

Oh heck yeah it can. After I took the plastic ducts out from behind the ram air nostrils, I drove it to Wongs and it was pouring out, and when I got to his shop I checked my air filter and it was soaked. Another reason I don't drive in crap conditions.

so even tho it was sitting, water can get in there. So my guess is, raining like a ****, water got in the nostrils, water now sitting in the intake, boom.

Suck and I hope you get her/him back on the road soon.

Wow! I didn't know they would design something that would have water to go through it. Sounds like you need to ditch the hood and get a cowl hood.
