Richard,
Sorry to read of your troubles. It is amazing you were able to limp back home, but so much better than the tow. My little experience with hydro-lock is that fluid is totally non compressible. I managed to tear up a ring gear in nothing flat when I tried to crank. I think you got lucky to get it started. Please keep us informed and take some pictures because as you say, it may be our turn next. Are you thinking head gasket? At least you will probably get your valve adjustment checked with the repair. Engine access should be interesting.
Good luck,
Russ same engine #530
