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

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.

Sounds like it. Probably would'nt have happened with owner driving. Apparently CAI's and BROs don't mix.

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.

No you weren't. No one said it was impossible, they said it was improbable
