Hi ngoma. Thanks for the reply.

I was asking for advise simply to drive the car into the shop.

I have no broken cam theory. Just my poorly stated question about hydro lock.

"how did you crank it?" "engine sound"

Read my post #1 above.

"Were you already experiencing runaway problems before?"

No and I didn't want to.

"My Own Opinion: Highly doubtful that one winter season in a maritime environment could cause enough internal corrosion to seize the engine."

So is this still Your Opinion?

Hood on, antifreeze still up. Why couldn't it be hydro locked with diesel?

In the future I'll be more carful with my enquiries and grammatically correct so as to forestall the confusion. I was just trying to save some work, not have to push the car into the shop. Thanks again... Paul
