B16A Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Hi guys, I am freaking out right now. I have an 87 CRX, just stock except for 25% tint all around. I was changing the oil today and it seemed realllly dark so I decided to clean out the engine. I got my garden hose out and turned on the engine for a bit and added water through the oil fill cap. The engine like, locked up and now I cant get it started. I added some oil and it still wont start. Can someone please tell me how I can start it again?

Dual-500 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Drain and add distilled water next time. If that doesn't work, add more window tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 i highly doubt that you actually did this....if so...the engine is probably toasted. never EVER put water into an engine. if you are not a troll, and are serious. you hydrolocked the engine. 99% chance its done for. time for a new one. an engine needs oil to stay lubricated, you take taht away and it locks up. metal onmetal ruins things. even if you did get it started and running by some chance, there are millions of metal shavings now in you engine that will eventually destroy everything. Drain and add distilled water next time. If that doesn't work, add more window tint. wow...just wow haha lol rofl lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I am 17 and just bought myself my '87 CRX. This was my first time owning anything with a motor and I just fracked it up. I cant believe I was so stupid for adding water to an engine. I didn't even know it would lock it up. frack! So the next course of action is getting a new engine I guess? crap!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
