The mechanic is a certified Cat tech from Pan Tropic Cat, a Cat dealer
in Ft Meyers FL.
The engine did not hydro lock as it was spun over by hand--then by the
starter with the injectors removed and not a trace of water showed .
The broken cam scenario you mentioned is plausible though. That or the
pin broke that holds the cam gear to the cam.
Had the engine pulled yesterday with a crane while the boat was still in
the water.
Fun Job !
Maybe tomorrow, we'll remove the oil pan which is necessary before you
can remove the timing cover on this engine and have a good look ! Joe
