was it still smoking?

pull the plugs.

one thing you have to look out for is hydro lock.
I had a Volvo that the wife over heated and blew the HG. (drove it for a about 2yrs, maybe more like that). every now and then she would complain it would not turn over, then a little while later it would.
it would hydro lock but then it would "relieve" itself and start.


here is the REAL pisser about that whole deal.
I got my moms Volvo after she wrecked it.
did a motor swap, lots of work to "upgrade" her engine to my newer one.
I was running it for the first time. it ran for 30-45 minutes just fine.
when out to my truck to get gauges to check the AC and it over heated and blew the HG..again.
so I pulled the head and broke 2 head studs off in the block.

I literally pushed it out in the yard and put several rounds into it. I was done.....
