Why do you thnk it is a common problem or one unique to Vipers? Not something I have heard about or experienced.

a mechanic read it on his computer he uses on repairing vipers.

As far as i know fuel won't do it.You can get hydrolock when something is machined badly or a gasket fails and coolant enters a cylinder while sitting and damage occurs when you try to start. Or you under estimate the depth of a stream or large puddle and your 4x4 or car without a snorkle ***** water in throught the intake.

talked to chuck today and he comfirmed it could when injector gets hung up, just like water,too much gas will do the same thing. thanks for heads up.

In theory, yes, but I have never heard of it happening on any viper. All data makes no mention of it.

So let me be the first to tell you that it can/does happen on a viper. Not overly common unless you run water/**** or straight water (to supplement forced induction). hydralock = a rod bends. Been there... done that... replaced the rod.

Oh... i don't report to All Data.
