Glad you showed that...I've never seen or heard of anyone e having that issue...
If it is hydrolocked be careful...a guy I work with had that happen to him..they took the plugs out and cranked it over...blew the gas out of the cylinder..that immediately ignited and burnt his truck up..

Nice that you are getting it fixed. I’ve seen this issue more than once. The aluminum mockup block I have was torn down because of the same problem.

Will do..There will be no cranking it over with spark until two things happen first
1 - The block it fixed so I can remount the starter
2- We determine the root cause.

Yes I felt a little better after it happened and jumping on the internet for some quick research to see it was more common than I knew.

Update

It was a hydro-lock that caused the issues with my starter. The #7 injector (which I sent out to have it cleaned and tested) is the root cause. It sprays all the time. The #7 cylinder filled with gas causing the Hydro-lock when trying to fire the motor. I does feel goo to know what happened. I'm glad it was not something stupid I did.

The new stater is here. New injector in route. Waiting for my friend to weld my block back together.....Then another test fire. Hopefully with less excitement.
