Just curious if you have ever heard of this. My suburaban is a repair shop and they toldme that the spider injector is gone and the engine is hydo locked and that's one of the reasons it won't sart. They said there is about 2 quarts of gas in the oil. They sdaid its common when this happens I will need a new engine. Is this true?

Yes ive heard of hydro lock before, and sometimes the engine is no good, try to have them clean it out and perform a compression test, if its bellow specs you have to replace it.
