Hydro locked? It has been raining alot lately.. but we'd need more info. Can you turn the crank by hand? If not, do you hear any clanks or noise? What noises/actions did it make before it locked? Sure the timing chain did'nt just break on you? Any visible block damage?

I have seen only once, the oil pick up fell of an oil pump on a GMC truck once.
Engine was done.
And on a motor cycle the pick up oil pic up screen got cloged by RTV sealant and it just ran worse and worse and before to long engine was toast.
I have also heard of plenty of engines being ruined by the oil pump loseing is prime with brand new engines or engines that have been sitting a long time. And they don't die right away.
There are just so many things that can do an engine.
