Some responded to this video stating that it was not hydrolock that broke my piston, but rather detonation.
In this video I talk about the causes and effects of detonation. I also cover what I’ve done to help prevent it in my engine. I’ll leave it for you to decide if it was hydrolock or detonation that broke my piston.
