Maybe, but when I see "hydrolock" my first thought is broken pieces.

Re: hydrolock 01 integra gsr
 

The damage is pending investigation by insurance company.

The cabin of the car is dry, water didn't get high to reach the
distributor but then again I didn't check. I don't think the
insurance will consider this a flood salvage, since the value to
repair the engine, or even to get a new engine, would be far less than
what the car is worth, but then again they can always pull out some
kinda formula to screw me over. If they do I will probably get a used
engine, heck if the price is right maybe even a Type-R engine.

OK update on my car, turns out I really messed up the pistons, it made
a huge hole right above the oil pan. Now I will need a new engine,
and my insurance will pay for it. Not bad considering I was due for a
new timing belt, that would of cost me close to $2000, but for $500 I
get a used engine.

The agent told me I was lucky the water didn't get in the cabin, if it
had they would of had to give me a check instead of repairing it.

Lesson to be learned, don't get a friggin Cold Air Intake, not worth
it.
