I am told that the deposits affect the piston rings to the point where the sealing of the rings loses its effectiveness. Basically, you have muck. These are just guesses and grasps at last straws.

Dr. Diesel:

I am told by a MB tech that every car has some sort of sensor which cuts everything off at a certain angle from right side up. If that is the case, then the car, theoretically, would not hadrolock itself. The other possibillity is that there was an attempt to start it immediatetly after the tow truck put it right side up again. This scenario could cause the damage we are discussing.
