actually, i was thinking the hydra-lock came from when this whole deal started. i was actually having an issue with oil coming through my intake and through the exhaust. i do know the car will run without the MAF, but it doesn't change the fact that i was having MAF issues (the initial breakdown story is in one of my previous post). when i first started having issues, the car would only run with the MAF unplugged. i know the timing is chain driven, and know how rare it is for a chain to jump time unless you have a tensioner or guide fail, but i do have another car with chain driven timing, and i had the chain jump on me and had these same exact symtoms (an intake valve was hitting the piston, and wouldn't let the motor complete a revolution...happened in my nissan 240sx). i really want to drop the pan today, and try to see what i can see. it kinda sucks because i just changed the oil after i installed everything yesterday...and we all know...mobil 1 isn't cheap!
