Heh, I thought I had hydrolocked it, but they looked at it and said it was fine. Think they lied?

Gotcha, wasn’t aware of the difference. I’m almost positive it made a pretty damn loud BANG when it stopped. Oil was spattered all over where the filter is, and it left a pretty good pool of it in the road. When trying to turn it over, it just made an awful grinding noise.

edit - I’ll try and snag pics today.
