Bent rod...isn't that a little personal? :rofl:

Anyhow, hydrolock sucks! Check EVERYTHING for other possible damage when you're in there. Make sure none of the other rods have cracks, especially if you find water in those cylinders.
I don't remember where, but I think I have seen billet connecting rods out there for the 2AZ.
Good luck, man.

senseiturtle 03-21-2006 07:34 PM
So do we have the first case of hydrolock in a tC ?

scholarbb 03-21-2006 07:42 PM
Sounds like it. Probably would'nt have happened with owner driving. Apparently CAI's and BROs don't mix.

ricktoyota73 03-21-2006 07:45 PM
Sounds like it, but any car can do it if you drive through deep enough water....especially if you have a cold air intake on it.
We had a Tundra 4X4 that had obviously been offroading with the factory air box on it come in with hydrolock. He must have gone through a pond or something.

car-part.com is your friend.

$750 for a running motor is not bad.

well, he TRIED...and we looked at the car for him, but it came down to the fact there was NO WAY we could have gotten anything covered for him, since he decided to take his truck swamping
