My friend and I have been working on very similar jobs on our vehicles: replacing the injectors. I just heard from him today that he was working on it (a 1988 Toyota 4Runner with the 3vze) and turned the engine over twice then it hyrdolocked. He then was able to get the water out but caused an engine fire that destroyed some of the electronics. Needless to say it was a bad day for him. He says that he thinks water got into the open intake ports during a recent rainstorm even though he had the hood closed. I am a bit concerned about this myself because my car has been out in the elements with it's hood secured but the intake manifold is off. Should I worry about possible water intrusion into the engine compartment that could have gotten into the intake or injection ports? I Is there any procedure I could follow to expel/drain any water that could have possibly entered the engine?

Could I turn over the engine with the injectors out like I have asked about before (to get carbon shavings out in that case)?
