9. Check for Hydraulic Cylinder Lock
A. If an injector has been replaced, evacuate any fluids from the cylinder and attempt to start the engine. Fuel will flow from the cylinder head into the cylinders when a unit injector is removed.
B. If the engine will not start, check for fluid in the cylinders (hydraulic cylinder lock) by removing the individual unit injectors. Check for damaged seals. Determine the type of fluid that locked up the cylinder.
C. If there was a coolant leak, determine the cause of the leak.
D. If there was excessive fuel in the cylinder, replace the seals and reinstall the injector. Drain any excess fuel from the cylinder head.
Hydraulic cylinder lock
Result: The engine does not have a hydraulic cylinder lock.
Repair: Proceed to the next Step.
Result: The engine has a hydraulic cylinder lock.
Repair: Perform the necessary repairs.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next step.

- Seizure
- Broken components
- Bent components
Mechanical problem
Result: No mechanical problem
Result: The engine has mechanical problems.
