It is not funny because it is true.

If water gets in to a running engine, it usually causes a lot of internal damage due to the fact that water does not compress like gasoline and air do. As the cylinder attempts to perform a compression stroke, instead it gets jammed with water. Usually the first thing to give is the piston rod which either bend or snap completely depending how much load is on the engine. A lot of other things can go wrong. Actually more than I could be fucked to list. But if it won't turn over that probably means that you've got a jammed piston somewhere. Crank might even be fucked, that happened to a buddy of mine that accidentally hit too deep of water in his Toyota while full throttling through mud.

remember to hand crank the engine. It will cycle the water out and pump fresh gas into the motor.

This.

Its called hydro-locking and it usually results in a bent rod at the very least. Most likely your friend will need a whole new engine.

So the obvious solution is to swap a big block into that bad boy and have some real fun.

>even with all spark plugs removed
How the fuck do you think he is gonna start the engine without spark plugs? Are you fucking retarded?

He's trying to turn it over to get any water out through the holes dipshit.

I bet you think an oil change is a massive undertaking.

something probably shorted
