Rhythm Thief:
I thought hydraulicing happened when water made its way into the cylinders and, being incompressible, stopped the piston stroke prematurely, bending the conrod in the process.
No it’s what happens when someone hears someone else say their car engine hydrolocked when they went through a flood. They’ve heard the word hydraulic before, from diggers and stuff, and then mix the two.

Hydrolocking
Oil intrusion is unlikely to cause hydrolocking as small amounts will be burned during combustion and any larger amount will just be forced back through the path which it entered the combustion chamber by the piston stroke 
It has already been explained how oil in the combustion chamber causes overspeeding to the point of self destruction through combustion of the oil, so there’s no need to discuss this any further 
A major injector leak would be unlikely to inject enough fuel to cause hydrolocking on a running engine, however it could cause problems on start up
The most likely cause of hydrolocking is from coolant intrusion, even with antifreeze there is still 50% water content, so the term hydrolocking is pretty accurate 
Matters not what the fluid is, fluid is incompressible. (excepting a negligible amount)

True, but in an engine there will only be three unless sabotage has taken place, two are, for the reasons I explained, unlikely to cause the loss of an engine

Ordinarily, I wouldn’t normally be bothered to correct anything like that but when you’re dealing with pricks that like banging on about how experienced they are whilst probably 75% of what they post contains completely made up ■■■■■■■■, and not even very good made up ■■■■■■■■ at that, it’s important to apply much higher standards.

Hydrolocking is a portmanteau of ‘hydrostatic’ and ‘locking’. Hydrostatic refers to any fluids not in motion.
Hydraulicing is, incorrectly made-up ■■■■■■■■, the poster that introduced this term ought to have been a clue it wasn’t a term to be relied on.
I would to think that Bking will come back to this thread and admit he was in error - it would show that he is willing to learn something new, a talent that every decent mechanic should have- and to my mind is the difference between a mechanic and a fitter

Well according to Chas I’m Bking (and about 300 others) so let me apologise, I, Bking, was wrong and am a first class tool. A Snap On tool if you will. Sorry.
Bking:
[Sounds like a real place of excellence where you work when a "fitter"dont know when to flush a cooler.Oh dear me.
was at your place of work
so have you finally understood that engines will run backwards

Bking:
Please somebody prove me wrong,not being some smart arse monkey,please please let me have a conversation a good truck mechainic.I need at least one on my side.
Hi, i have to thank you for making this thread so amusing,
ive
apprenticeship with volvo trucks
5 truck workhops inbetween inc haulage companys
& now scania diesel technician working on trucks, marine, construction & industrial engines. for over 12 years & worked on engines from commer 2 strokes to jet engines.am i qualified enough to tell you you talk utter [zb]?
& i have a 6x2 r440 scania in the workshop atm with a nice hole in the block caused by another fitter not flushing the intercooler & it sucking in & running on its own oil, maybe i just imagined it but pretty sure it happend as i went out to the action service breakdown for it
Never heard of hydrauliking Wonderkind?Sounds like your one of our “military marvels” being as you also work on “jet engines” wouldnt be stealth bombers while you were in the SAS would it?Sounds like a real place of excellence where you work when a "fitter"dont know when to flush a cooler.Oh dear me.
Obviously didn’t make it clear enough by saying I work for Scania & have an R440 in the workshop. & no not a “military marvel” just more experienced than you!
An “R440” and you work for Scania.
Oh my god please forgive me your highness.
What jet engine do they fit in the swedish crap!Pratt and Whitney or Rolls Royce?

To add confusion: Very strangely to the way it is often seen however, it is actually frequently the other way round.
London Transport in particular employed large numbers of semi-skilled ‘bus mechanics’ and relatively few skilled-tradesman ‘fitters’. A mechanic could fit a new wheel bearing, but it was a fitter’s job to adjust it and fit the locking device.

I think that would probably ( rightly ) reflect engineering terminology.By that standard a fitter in an automotive environment could possibly be asked to actually make components and/or set the pre loads and correct meshing of gears in differentials etc with the title ‘fitter’ being more about the ability to work with close engineering tolerances.Than the literal meaning of the assembly of finished components.
I blew the turbo on an Axor and the engine then shot itself to death running on it’s engine oil till it seized. Nothing I could do to stop it!
Smoke everywhere, bits if engine bouncing off the bottom of the cab, dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and alarms and clangers …
All very exciting

Hmmmmm. I could have sworn that that’s exactly what TT-legend, TV star, Scania fitter and all-round good guy, Guy Martin said when he drowned his Suzuki on Sunday night.

Is Bking quiet on race days?

You could be on to something!! But I see him more like the impression Keith lemon does of Danny dyer!!
I hope Mr Martin has a bit more technical “nouse” than most of the experts on here!
we live in hope.

Perhaps you ought to stop wasting time with us amateurs and shuffle off and find somewhere else where things might be more mutually beneficial.
This place looks promising
