B2 wont turn over

[opie67]

I have a 90 Bll went 4wheeling last weekend and got h2o in the intake. Now it wont turn over, you can turn it backwards to the same stopping point then it will turn over back to the stopping point again. then you can turn it back to where you stated but wont go past that point. This is very confusing sorry I just dont know how else to word it. I did remove the plugs and there was a small amout of h2o on them.

pull the plugs and turn it over with the starter. guess ya shouldnt of gone so fast through water

Your engine is, or was Hydrolocked. You sucked water into the engine and water don't compress! Pistons stop and let the carnage begin. It makes bad things happen. The things it does is bend connecting rods, bend valves and generally screws up your engine. A quick trip to the auto parts store is not going to help. Pull the motor and replace it!

even with a bent rod it will still run/turn over. theres most likely water still in one of the cyls. the 3.0 that WAS in my 95 ranger what hydroed so bad it broke 2 rods,poked a hole in each side of the block and that still ran,not good but still ran

I had a Pontiac 4 cylinder throw a rod and all we did was stuff a rag in the hole and some tape and we drove that bugger all the way home. about 25 miles.

1st time I hydro'd a engine bent the rod to the point of being unable to turn engine either direction.
