Re: Engine locked up
I pulled the plugs first to find number 3 cylinder full of water. Drained the water (a lot ) and oil from pan, removed the head ( a lot more water) to chech gasket and head. Gasket seemed ok but the (C) head had previously been repaired. Brazed nearly all the way across the center. Nice job but I feel it's where the problem is. I have decided to get a new 5.5 to 1 from Snyders along with a gasket. Thanks for all the help guys. Ron

Re: Engine locked up
I'd never heard of hydrolock before... in other words, it never happened to me or anyone I knew. So I plead ignorance. Ain't the Ford Barn great?

Remove the pan and drain everything out. the little water that remains in the nooks and crannies will not be a problem. Now is the time to access the purchase of a new head and you have chosen wisely.

Re: Engine locked up
An engine can also hydro lock from to much fuel (carb flooding) but less prone to happen on an up draft manifold as most of the fuel will run out.
