In a hydrolock, the engine stops instantly. The owner called it "seizing", but seizing is a completely different problem.

Your auto insurance may cover the damage. Scion (Toyota) is not responsible to warranty the damage to your engine caused by modifications to air intake you made. Hydrolock due to stock or aftermarket intake is not limited to Scion, this is a known problem with many makes of vehicles when aftermarket intakes are added, and some stock vehicles with a low intake are known for this issue when drivers do not use reasonable caution and drive thru water. |

i think that there is something wronge with the head gasket on some xb's i just blew my motor this weekend and it was caused by a bent(twisted) piston rod bashing a hole in the side wall of my block. they took the oil pan down and said that it was because i was over reving it!!!! WTF?? this is a commuter car, i bought it as a commuter car, and i was commuting when it happened!! i had driven 30 miles at like 80MPH and then poof. Well if any of you have read about this in other forums that i cant seem to find let me know i need all the evidance i can gather for court. thanks agian!!!!!!!!!
