Hydrolock.questions and opinions....

Hey i have a injen cai or as most call it the hai(yea i know all about it) and i just recently found out about hydrolock.Pretty much scares the **** outta me cause ive drove my injen threw snowy days, rainy days, and slushy wet roads.In the morning i have to let the car heat up before i can go anywhere or it stalls.i know many ppl have had this problem anyways,just wondering could hydrolock cause this?Im wondering how many ppl are running injens and have the same problem?. And is there anyway to dry up the cylinders without taking spark plugs out and using a syringe to get it out?Has anyone experienced hydrolock and how did you go about it? and last but not least,would putting the stock air intake system back on for the rest of the winter dry out the cylinders?

Your engine would have most likely blown if you hydrolocked. A little mist of water in your engine isnt going to hydrolock your engine unless you totally submerge your filter under water

If your motor is hydrolocked (locked being operative here) it won't crank, much less run. Hydrolock is essentially filling the cylinder with water.
