What the???.... Hydraulic'd??

Air compresses, fuel or water does not. It either lost a head gasket and ate a cylinder full of coolant, or had a stuck needle and seat filled a cylinder with enough fuel- it fired on one cylinder came around and stopped on that one. Ran thru a car wash while running ???
I say OUCH either way!!

"Hydraulic'd?? "

We used to see that a lot with my friend's '63 FI Corvette. The fuel blocks on those units were the culprit and would leak fuel into a cylinder. When the engine fired quickly, (which didn't happen often)if the cylinder containing the fuel was on a compression stroke............ TROUBLE!
