btw, can that really happen to an engine if driven with a bad injector? i could have swore that i drove around with half my injectors bad for about 6 months. after replacing all injectors, engine runs like a charm

95% of the time a bad injector will dump NO fuel so no hydro-lock. BUT you can damage your cylinders because the cylinders then lack the lubrication and coolant that they need to function.

I remember that hydrolock due to bad injectors is dependent on if they get stuck open or closed. Hydrolock is also a danger when you change an injector and pinch the o-ring causing fuel to get into the cylinder. I have used BG cleaner from nissan and it does work pretty good.
