    and i know this all from experience. lol
    Thats my thinking on water in the cylinders, if its running I dont see the water staying in there long. It would either get blown out or dry up from the heat IMO. But what do I know?

    people just freak out because of the word "hydrolocked" lol. it sounds alot worse than it is, but unless your full throttle and the filter is underwater, youre not gonna suck in enought to hydrolock. i had my old ford aspire in water high enough to flood the floorboard through the shifter hole, and it sucked some in. it just ran on 2-3 cylinders halfway home until it sucked all the water out of the intake tract that it could and it all blew out the back. the end.
