SM100 Engine Failure Due to Hydraulic Lock

Diagnose this cause by inspecting the cylinder heads and intake manifold for fluid ingress. Verify if the engine is seized by attempting to manually rotate the crankshaft after removing glow plugs or fuel injectors. If fluid (oil or fuel) is expelled during manual rotation following a tip-over event, the engine is likely hydro-locked, which may necessitate replacement if internal components were damaged during the event.
