Re: MX-3's float!
when mine hydrolocked, it didnt float.. luck was on my side tho..
the starter shorted out and didnt let me start the engine again. No water inside the cabin.
I got home next day.. sucked the watger out with a water vacuum cleaner.. dripped oil in the pistons.. and oil flush (lookined like chocolate milk) and walla engine started and compression was good.(on a kfze)
The ironically.. when i took the engine out..i left it in my yard.. we had a flash flood and there went the engine lol it rused inside out.

Re: MX-3's float!
I waterproofed my doors, and will be completely covering the bottom of my car with foamcore plastic.. I bet it would float well, but I hope I NEVER find out!
