How would one address the hydra lock problem? If opening the plugs releases the pressure does that still sound like water on the cylinder?
If there was a hydra lock issue from a leaking gasket into the cylinder, removing the plugs and cranking it would expel it out the plug hole with force. Its not likely the problem, but that would cause the problem you describe.
