Aem Water

I know hyrdolock occurs when u drive through a puddle, etc., but what is hydrolock anyway?

I have an AEM cold air intake system and it goes right down under the passenger side wheel well. I'm told that area is notorious for possibly getting hydrolock from running through a big puddle, ect. I also heard that a bypass valve will take care of the problem of water getting in when it's raining, but it only works with Version 1 and I don't know if I have Version 1 or 2. Reason being is the guy who owned the car before me was the one who had the CAI installed and he won't return any of my phone calls since I bought the car from him.

hydrolocking is when the engine ingests fluid through the air intake or from an internal coolant leak. Since fluid does not compress, if the fluid gets into the combustion chamber when the piston comes up on the compression stroke, the piston stops because the fluid becomes an unmovable object. This is bad because if the engine is running the piston/connecting rod/crankshaft all have momentum behind them and the force must go somewhere, and that usually means breaking a piston or connecting rod or the crankshaft.
