2000 Sea Doo 954 carb SUPER HYDRO LOCK???

[nervio954]

Hello everyone, I was riding almost WOT some days ago and unconsciously jumped a wave... when I hit the water, the engine stopped. It was very hot to the touch, one spark plug blew off the top ceramic portion and the electrode shifted about 1/4 inches up the spark base... We parted the whole engine apart and found bent rod, one cylinder shattered in the sides, broken crankcase...I use32:1 Amsoil Interceptor... Is this a HYDROLOCK? Thanks everyone in advance!!!:thumbsup:

That's what it sounds like to me.

What kind of airbox/flame arrestor are you running?

no airbox, it has Tau Cetti carbon fiber flame arrestors. The bent rod is stuck and doesnt move,in the pictures there is some material inside the bearing... i dont know but it looks like the aluminum from the piston got inside the rod... I don't know if that was a bearing that was starting to fail or the hydrolock thing... but the lower secton of the rod turned like purple in color and a little rusty "overheat"??... Dr. Honda thanks for yor reply, hope to hear from you again in this matter, thanks!!!!
