Wait for someone whos done this before to guide you, ive only read about it and you can do serrious damage to ur engine if you start it while hydrolocked.
This is good advice. Yes you can bend a conrod trying to start a hydrolocked engine.
Spark plugs out, unplug ignition sensor so the plug leads can't fire, hose or bucket of water handy, and flick the starter over gently. Remember, spraying petrol everywhere plus leads sparking = bad! so watch out.
Take your time, and think! and you will be fine.
