    Liquid won't compress, that could explain why the starter can't crank the engine and the engine can't be turned.

    Might also explain why the starter was seemingly dragging before firing off the motor.. May have had enough before to cause partial hydo-lock and drag but not fully hydro-lock till it sat for longer periods. Once it spit out the smaller amount of water it was able to turn over and start.

    Very true. That is basically what I told the mechanic that said "it's locked up" .... There could be all sorts of reasons.

    I doubt he'll scrap it. lol He's looking at options of buy another motor or build this one but he still doesn't know the extent of the damage so far, so its a guessing game waiting on info from the mechanic. My fan clutch is toast too. Need to find out how much a rebuild kit will cost me.
