Q
will a hydrolocked engine turn over
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
When an engine is hydraulically locked. its movement is usually prevented by a non-compressible fluid like water in the cylinder. If the amount of fluid entering the engine exceeds what is being discharged through the exhaust valves. it can create a mechanical lockup since fluids cannot be compressed like air. This can lead to significant damage such as bent or broken connecting rods. damaged pistons. or even a cracked engine block. Therefore. attempting to start a hydraulically locked engine could worsen the problem. The safest way to remove any remaining fluid typically water from the cylinders is by removing the spark plugs and either manually turning the engine or draining out the fluid using the starter motor. Before starting the engine again. it's crucial to make sure that there is no fluid left in the cylinders and conduct a thorough inspection for any potential damage.
