Just a warning: Be VERY careful to dribble SLOWLY if you try the procedure listed below. If you get too much water in any one cylinder you get a hydraulic lock. What this means is that the piston will not be allowed to complete it's stroke. The water WILL NOT yield, so the piston and/or the rod and/or the crank will. End of engine.
